Hi,

Inkscape supports command lines options, and thus allows scripting.
I suggest that you read Tavmjong Bah's manual page about command lines (http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/CommandLine.html) and try to use the --verb option (# inkscape --verb-list lists all the available verbs).

Regards.

Can you help with this problem?
