How to control InkScape programmatically

Hi John,

Inkscape has a commandline interface, if that is what you mean.
More info can be found here:
https://inkscape.org/en/learn/faq/#How_to_use_Inkscape_from_the_command_line

A quick overview is here:
https://inkscape.org/en/doc/inkscape-man.html

Maren,

I was looking for SDK apis that directly control InkScape. Does InkScape
support OLE Automation (for example, on Windows 7)?

Other than command line, is there another API interface that can can
control InkScape programmatically?

John

No. I need to know how to programatically control InkScape software.

I DO NOT have an answer to my questions yet.

It cannot be done.

Maybe this way can help:

http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_use_Inkscape_in_commandline_mode/List_of_verbs
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/CommandLine.html

Try to understand the --verb=... option (you can control from other application by call one function to executefile).

Sorry if this don't change your actual point !
