# inkscape_uprint
|
|
|
|
Inkscape plugin to create multiple clones of the same object with pattern substitution
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
copy the source content into your inkscape extension directory:
|
|
|
|
${HOME}/.config/inkscape/extensions/inkscape_uprint
|
|
|
|
or equivalently get it using git clone:
|
|
|
|
cd ${HOME}/.config/inkscape/extensions/
|
|
git clone[https://gitea.mildstone.org/YFinGames/inkscape_uprint.git]()
|
|
|
|
reload inkscape
|
|
|
|
find the extension in **Extensions -> Renderg -> InkscapeUprint**
|
|
|
|
## INSTRUCTIONS:
|
|
|
|
1. Create any shape with text wherever you like;
|
|
place text elements in a frame as much as possible ( multiline substitution works in framed text only )
|
|
2. place {{tags}} where you like, each tag is eventually searched in the first line of the xlsx file ( the header ) and a set of replicas of the selection will be generatend in a separate page, one for each line of the xlsx. Any keyword can be used as a tag and it will be substituted unless wrapped between double curly braces.
|
|
3. apply any transform to the shape lou like
|
|
4. group anything together but do not apply any transform to the group afterwards. If you need to ungroup make what you like ( translate, rotate, scale ) and then regroup everything together. The changes applied to the toplevel group are affecting the position of the shape after the placement on the output pages.
|
|
5. Select the group and apply InkscapeUprint. The parameters are:
|
|
- padding: padding space among placed shapes
|
|
- page margins: From the page to the page collection
|
|
- The size of the output pages is copied from the model one
