I'm making a python extension, and need the extension to retrieve a selected groups x, y coordinates.
I think this can be done with the bounding box, but I don't know how to do it.
if there's any other way of doing it I'm all ears.

Did you see the bounding box functions in simpletransform.py in the extensions directory? If it doesn't need to be 100% exact, you can use that. Else you can query the coordinates using the command line from inside the extension. There are many extensions that do this, but I can't give you a concrete example atm.

Hi Moini.
Yes I did see simpletransform / boxunion, roughBBox, refinedBBox.
I just don't know how to access it. Or what to access.
I'm guessing it should look something like this.

import simpletransform
bbox = simpletransform.refineBBox(node.get('path'))
x = bbox [0] [0] [1] [0]

And what is xmin, and xmax ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Try with computeBBox instead

(which takes a list of objects, see it being used in, e.g., render_scale extension or export jpg extension:
https://github.com/brathering82/inkscape
https://github.com/giacmir/Inkscape-JPE ... -extension )

Thanks, Moini.
I'll take a look at those extensions , and see if I can figure it out.
