Inkscape

Inkscape is a powerful vector graphics editor.

Plugins

Inkscape plugins are collected in the inkscape-extensions package set. To enable them, use an override on inkscape-with-extensions:

inkscape-with-extensions.override {
  inkscapeExtensions = with inkscape-extensions; [
    inkstitch
  ];
}

Similarly, this works in the shell:

$ nix-shell -p 'inkscape-with-extensions.override { inkscapeExtensions = with inkscape-extensions; [inkstitch]; }'
[nix-shell:~]$ # Ink/Stitch is now available via the extension menu
[nix-shell:~]$ inkscape

All available extension can be enabled by passing inkscapeExtensions = null;.

::: {.note} Loading the Inkscape extensions stand-alone (without using override) does not affect Inkscape at all. :::
