you need to draw gears in Inkscape... or you need your program to draw gears?

hi Rico
I am writing a program to cover simple wooden clock functions (pendulum length to swing interval, moon cycles etc) and i need my program to draw a gear.
Inkscape has a perfect gear drawing function but i need the function and inputs inside my program. i am only just beginning to teach myself Delphi and can find no relevent information

Maybe looking at the code in the gears extension?
/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/gears.py
It's writen in Python.

btw, remember that the license is GPL, therefore if you want to use that code you have to stick to the license and its requisites.

Can you help with this problem?
