When writing an extension you basically work with the svg xml source.
This
means that you have to know how to manipulate the xml DOM tree and know
your way around the W3 SVG specification. Inkscape comes bundled with the
lxml library. I found it a bit confusing to learn, but once you understand
the basics its not that difficult. The helper modules help you with tasks
like path, transformation and style parsing, but it all boils down to
manipulating xml.
Hello,
thank you for your answer. I found out so much already and crawled through
the available examples. Fortunately I got help by Aaron on the Inkscape-deve
mailing list. Meanwhile I managed to update
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/PythonEffectTutorial into a working
version, so the immediate problem is solved.
Greetings,
Daniel
