Thirty years later, low-cost and easily available computer-controlled manufacturing tools have created an exciting realm for exploration that’s even open to most hobbyists: Laser engravers, 3D printers, CNC routers, vinyl cutters, embroidery machines, and (yes) pen plotters. But then along came “outline” fonts, dot matrix monitors, high-resolution printers and personal computers. Good solutions– sets of “engraving” fonts –were developed. Creating simple representations of text was an important problem in early computer graphics, for both vector displays and pen plotters. Neither the problem nor the fundamental solution are new. But it goes to the heart of who we are and what we’re doing. Huh? What’s this all about? Why are you doing this? Quick start: Download and install the EggBot extensions for Inkscape, which now include Hershey Text. This extension solves a persistent problem, and one which we have come across in many different contexts: How to easily create simple and readable vector representations of text. bundled) and how to submit it to get your extension bundled with Inkscape (if you aim for that).Hershey Text is an Inkscape extension that can render a line of text in one of several stroke-based “engraving” fonts. In this comment (another topic about a new extension) I tried to describe the current options (externally hosted vs.
the GIMP has - the best we can do for now is keeping the list updated and add new ones there): Extension repository - Inkscape Wiki If you think the extension is beyond BETA (nearing release candidate status ) - please consider adding it to the list in the wiki (the Inkscape project doesn't yet have a real extensions repository like e.g. Elliot.white wrote:I created the Laser Tools group thinking that I would over time produce more extensions, but if you have a suggested group I would gladly put it there.Ībout the menu name, not sure how to tackle this one - maybe a discussion in a separate topic here in the forum, or on the mailing list ( inkscape-devel) to brain-storm about proposals, with the goal to add some hints/information to the pages in the Inkscape wiki about extensions?
