Hi,

I'm trying to code an extension that helps me setup standup miniatures to print and cut.

For that I would like to use OpenCV grabcut-algorithm (you place paths ontop of the image to tell it where you suspect foreground vs background and the algorithm does the rest) and then I want to get the outline of that cut out shape and outset. I know Inkscape can do "bitmap to path" for example to get the outline. However I could also simply use OpenCV to get the extend from the cut out image. I also know that Inkscape can extend/outset a path. I used to use Gimp and Inkscape in somewhat this combination.

So I need a bit of advice on how to set up such an extension with python and

• whether it's possible to use inkscape's "outset path" function
• and how to replace or add an image to the SVG.

Thx in advance!
