Re: [Inkscape-devel] Path intersection, union, difference code

Anyway, I'm at the point where I need to start doing some more complicated things. I can do these things easily in Inkscape but I'm finding it difficult to generate the path data directly. I am wondering where in the source of Inkscape I can find the routines that do the intersection, union, and difference of paths so that I can incorporate it into my code.

Currently we use code in src/livarot for that, but it's old and messy. The new 2geom library, which is also available separately at http://lib2geom.sourceforge.net/, is more likely to be helpful to you. You can always contact lib2geom developers for help.
