This extension converts Inkscape paths to
extruded polygons in OpenSCAD.  Before
using, first convert objects to paths
with the "Path &gt; Object to Path"
menu item.

Note that the paths must be polygonal.
Non-polygonal paths will not render well
in OpenSCAD.  Thus, while you can convert
text to a path correctly, other shapes may
need to be combined before export
(e.g. "o" style shapes with holes).

Inkscape's units of pixels are converted
to millimeters using the SVG Standard's
definition of 90 pixels = 1 inch.

#!/usr/bin/env python

# openscad.py

# This is an Inkscape extension to output paths to extruded OpenSCAD polygons
# The Inkscape objects must first be converted to paths (Path > Object to Path).
# Some paths may not work well -- the paths have to be polygons.  As such,
# paths derived from text may meet with mixed results.

# Written by Daniel C. Newman ( dan dot newman at mtbaldy dot us )
# 10 June 2012

# 15 June 2012
#   Updated by Dan Newman to handle a single level of polygon nesting.
#   This is sufficient to handle most fonts.
#   If you want to nest two polygons, combine them into a single path
#   within Inkscape with "Path > Combine Path".
