#!/usr/bin/env python ''' file: prepare_print_win32_vector.py This extension will pre-process a vector image by applying the operations: 'EditSelectAllInAllLayers' and 'ObjectToPath' before applying the extension: 'Win32 Vector Print'. Generate vector graphics printout, specifically for Windows GDI32. Copyright (C) 2014 Ryan Lerch (multiple difference) 2016 Maren Hachmann (refactoring, extend to multibool) 2017 Alvin Penner (apply to 'Win32 Vector Print') This code is based on 'inkscape-extension-multiple-difference' by Ryan Lerch see : https://github.com/ryanlerch/inkscape-extension-multiple-difference also: https://github.com/Moini/inkscape-extensions-multi-bool It will call up a new instance of Inkscape and process the image there, so that the original file is left intact.
