Inkscape extension for putting tabs and scorelines on closed paths
Given a closed path of straight lines, this program generates a paper model of tabs and score lines for each straight edge.
Installing:
Copy tabgen.inx and tabgen.py into your Inkscape user extensions directory. Where is that? Open Inkscape and go to the System section of the Preferences menu (Edit --> Preferences --> System). You will find a User extensions item containing the path to your user extensions directory.
Usage:
See the file Usage_guide_tabgen.pdf for details.
In addition, the extension has been updated to allow a color to be selected for a solid score line (dashlength = 0.0).
Note:
This extension (for Inkscape version 1.1.) is functional, but not bulletproof, so be mindful of the input constraints in the usage document.
