For now, this section contains a few pointers on creating a custom INX file, which is the mechanism to register a new extension with Inkscape and provide a simple UI for it. | For now, this section contains a few pointers on creating a custom INX file, which is the mechanism to register a new extension with Inkscape and provide a simple UI for it. | ||
Extensions can be supplied with values obtained through easily definable parameters. Inkscape provides the basic GUI for user input. The following parameters are supported: | |||
* int (for an integer number input field) | |||
* string (for a text input field) | |||
* float (for a float number input field) | |||
* boolean (for a checkbox) | |||
* enum (for a dropdown list) | |||
* optiongroup (for a dropdown list or radio buttons) | |||
* color (for a color selector, like the one in the Fill & Stroke dialog) | |||
For the sake of the UI there are also the following two parameters that do not provide data to the extension but alter the user input GUI. | |||
