I would like to try and write an extension in perl. I have never writen any plugin, but it looks possible for me to complete.
After a quick look at perl dropshadow plugin and SpSVG.pm, the only problem I seem to have is how I should ask inkscape to pass the coordinates of selected nodes. It will have to be passed to my script together with object id. Can anybody help?
Inkscape passes your script the SVG file and the ids of selected objects. So tthe coord of all points are available to you. There isn't any way to pass selected nodes yet. And I guess I personally don't think we should try to hammer something in. That sort of tightly coupled behavior should be possible when internal extensions are finished.
Any expectation how much time it is going to take before a plugin has access to selected nodes coords? Can't figure it out based on roadmap document.
