Parabola is an Inkscape extension that renders a series of lines in selected shapes to form an optical illusion of a curved line (Parabolic lines)
Shapes available are:
* Square
* Cross
* Triangle
Output is an object made of a series of editable paths.
See the github for documentation and example output:

This extension was tested on:
MacOS Big Sur running Inkscape version 1.0
Ubuntu Linux running Inkscape version 1.0.1
Windows 10 running Inkscape version 1.0.2
*Updated 2/28/2021*
==============================================
Version 1.1.0 changes the border behavior. The border will now only be drawn along the edges of the corners selected to be rendered. Previously it would draw the entire shape border when the border option was selected.
==============================================
Thanks for this neat extension! The first time I used it, it worked as expected on a triangle. As I fooled around with it, the "parabola lines" started showing up OUTSIDE the square or triangle. At the moment, the cross still works correctly. I'm using Windows 10, Inkscape 1.2.2 Could the direction of the underlying figure have gotten reversed somehow? I'm not a programmer, so can't see what's going on.
