inkscape-applytransforms

An Inkscape extension which recursively applies transformations to shapes.

Note that performing this operation on certain shapes (stars, lpes, ...) will convert them to paths, and clones are affected in strange ways due to clone transforms behave.

update 2020-7-27 - updated to work with Inkscape 1.0+. Use legacy branch inkscape-pre1.0-compat for prior version of Inkscape.

update 2016-1-5 - now only affects selected shapes when there is an active selection.

Installation

Download applytransform.inx and applytransform.py, then copy them to the Inkscape installation folder subdirectory share\inkscape\extensions.

  • On Windows this may be C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\inkscape\extensions (or %appdata%\inkscape\extensions if you don't want to install globally)
  • On Ubuntu, this may be /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/ or (~/.config/inkscape/extensions if you don't want to install globally)
  • On macOS, this may be ~/Library/Application Support/org.inkscape.Inkscape/config/inkscape/extensions
  • Generally, you should be able to go to the Inkscape Preferences, select System, and see the path for User extensions

If the downloaded files have .txt suffixes added by GitHub, be sure to remove them. Restart Inkscape if it's running.

Arch Linux

This package is also available via the AUR.

pacaur -S inkscape-applytransforms-git

Usage

Activate the extension from the main menu:

Extensions | Modify Path | Apply Transform

or use it from the command line. The id of the extension is automatically available as an action:

inkscape -g --actions com.klowner.filter.apply-transform test.svg

or for older versions of Inkscape:

inkscape -g --verb com.klowner.filter.apply_transform test.svg
