an inner region to display the Canvas serving as the screenįor now, this section contains a few pointers on creating a custom INX file, which is the mechanism to register a new extension with Inkscape and provide a simple UI for it.Įxtensions can be supplied with values obtained through easily definable parameters.Ideally, in conjunction with Richard's MFD framework and the Emesary IPC system (eventually), maybe even taking Phi into account ? print (output to an external device, this could be using fgfs itself)Ĭome up with a simple Inkscape extension that can serve as the foundation for creating Canvas based MFDs more easily.effect (change contents in the document).The following extension types exist for Inkscape:
Inkscape couuld also be used to directly establish a "connection" with FlightGear (think telnet/props, httpd etc) This tutorial describes the "ins and outs" of writing one of these scripts and making it work with Inkscape's core functionality with a focus on creating MFDs for FlightGear.
Libraries for reading and writing SVG data exist for many programming languages, and most provide support for XML. This is an easy way to expand Inkscape and provide custom functionality without learning the internals of Inkscape. Such programs read a stream of data on standard input, transform the data in some way, and then write the modified data to standard output. Traditional Unix scripts can be used to extend Inkscape's functionality.
