Wrote a Boolean LPE - How to make operand path invisible?
Dear Inkscape Developers,
I just wrote a Boolean OP LPE. It was quite easy using sp_pathvector_boolop. It works well, just I can't figure out how to make the operand path, which comes in via a OriginalPathParam, invisible.
Also I have one design question:
Some operations are symmetric, others not. Currently my interface has a bool_op enum and a swap operands bool parameter. I wonder if it would make more sense to combine these into one like:
uninion intersection this minus operand operand minus this ...
I think this would be easier to use, but it would break consistency with the existing bool op menu operations.
Best regards,
Michael
I think you are using the old livarot based boolops, the new boolops from Krzysztof is the future in inkscape boolops. Here is a LPE using it:

Dear Jabier,
thanks a lot for the hint - luckily writing the bool LPE was easy enough, so I didn't spend much time. I will check out the new branch and the offset LPE.
But I think the question how one makes an operand path invisible in a LPE is independent on how the LPE computes the result. Can someone answer this question how this is done?
Best regards,
Michael
