I&#39;m looking for ways to access Inkscape UI functionality from within an extension:<br><br>1. Is there a way to apply the Outset/Inset functionality from within an extension?  I have found some documentation regarding the Inkscape verb SP_VERB_SELECTION_OFFSET, but I&#39;m not seeing a way to access this, or access it from a wrapper, from a Python script.<br>
<br>2. Is there a way to select a node and change it&#39;s sodipodi nodetype value to &#39;symmetrical&#39; or &#39;smooth&#39;?  Again, I would like to be able to skip using the desktop icon. Perhaps it&#39;s possible to add nodetype in the attributes when the node is created, but I&#39;ve experimented a bit and haven&#39;t seen this attribute show up in the XML until I&#39;ve manually changed the node to &#39;symmetrical&#39; using the UI.<br>
<br>And thanks very much to ~suv for the assistance in helping me understand the Outset/Inset functions, and the &#39;change to path&#39; functions for my previous questions.<br><br>- Susan<br>
