Inkscape extension that generates paper model of a collar
Given a set of parameters for two polygons, this program generates paper models of (1) the two polygons; (2) a collar (divided into segments if desired) represented by a strip with tabs and score lines; and (3) wrapper(s) for covering the tabbed strip(s).
Installing:
Copy collarz.inx and collarz.py into your Inkscape user extensions directory. Where is that? Open Inkscape and go to the System section of the Preferences menu (Edit --> Preferences --> System). You will find a User extensions item containing the path to your user extensions directory.
Usage:
See the file How_to_use_collarz.pdf for details.
Note:
This extension (for Inkscape version 1.1.) is functional, but not bulletproof, so be mindful of the input constraints in the usage document.
