Re: [Inkscape-devel] How can I get a text bounding box in a python script?

check out the code in the file : \Inkscape\share\extensions\perspective.py, in particular the line that says: f,err = os.popen3('inkscape --query-%s --query-id=%s "%s"' % (query,id,file))[1:]

this was meant to retrieve the bounding box of a path, but it might work on text as well.
