This is something I might be able to work on.....I've just begun learning C and GTK GUI programming, so that I can contribute to Inkscape development.
Any idea how I might get started?
Attached is an archive of several files that someone called massifr (sorry I don't know the real name) created some time ago. This is a beginning of implementation of svg:font, svg:fontface and svg:glyph. Really the files are almost placeholders, with little real code, but you still can use them as the starting point. The author (his email is in the files headers) said he won't continue to work on them, but you can contact him with questions. (As well as any of the developers, of course - use the devel list and the jabber channel for any questions you might have.)
Can Inkscape plot survey data at present? What I mean is: Can we lay down a line A to B with a distance in say metres and a bearing relative to North vertical and plotted clockwise? And then a line B to C etcetera. The sort of data it would be valuable to plot are:
Point Point Distance (metres or scaled) Bearing (angle clockwise in degrees from vertical) A B 12.5 25 B C 4.3 328 C D 16.7 85 D E 8.6 45.2
To do this we need lines to be drawn in terms of distance and angle rather than what appears to be the current X and Y positions of the point. Maybe this can be set at present. If so I cannot find it-
Another use of this would be to obtain distance and bearing between two points from a map scan. Again a very useful result which may already be possible.
Any help here? I seem to remember that at some very early stage in Inkscape this was possible.......sort of....but I cannot find it now.
I'll put it in as a request but thought I'd ask first.

The only way I could see to do this is to have a spreadsheet with a table with functions that convert the bearing into "x" and "y" dimensions/coordinates, which you could then, it seems to me in theory, plot in Inkscape. The main bit of work would be setting up the spreadsheet functions but once done it should be relatively easy.

I think this would be a good place to use SVG::Graph

If you wrote the Perl script so that it takes in a file as a parameter, it could be tied into Inkscape using Input extensions.
