I'm making a pattern for a bouldering chalkbag in Inkscape, and I was laying out the pages so that they would tile for my printer by hand, and thought to myself "this is going to take *minutes*, I bet that in only a few dozen hours I can write a script to do this automatically". So I wrote my first Inkscape extension.
It overlaps pages with optional registration marks. The extension, and the chalkbag pattern are up on my codeberg.

@stib@aus.social Thank you very much! I'm still locking, what to use for making paterns, and that is helping me a lot to do make my patterns with inkscape, what I already know from other works. Thank you very much!
