"""
Extension for InkScape 1.X
Features
- Create SVG preview file and show it in browser. Helps to quickly evaluate line order for cutting processes
Author: Mario Voigt / FabLab Chemnitz
Mail: mario.voigt@stadtfabrikanten.org
Date: 21.04.2021
Last patch: 21.04.2021
License: GNU GPL v3
Used version of Vivus JS library: https://github.com/maxwellito/vivus/releases/tag/v0.4.6 - MIT License
Browser config:
Firefox via about:config -> privacy.file_unique_origin = false
ToDo:
- adjust width and height (give options)
- embed config buttons inside html to adjust time/type/... (more flexible than clicking from Inkscape)
- we should do it the way like vivus instant -> http://maxwellito.github.io/vivus / https://maxwellito.github.io/vivus-instant
- the generated SVGs can be downloaded again and include all animations!
- calculate the total length of all paths and auto-adjust the speed to have good visibility
