KM Plot

Inkscape extension for Knox Makers to drive HPGL based vinyl/plotter devices over serial. Largely based on the built-in Export > Plot extension for Inkscape but with a GTK interface and Serial Port detection.

Manual Installation

1. Copy the files into your Inkscape extensions directory:

   • Linux: ~/.config/inkscape/extensions/
     • Flatpak: ~/.var/app/org.inkscape.Inkscape/config/inkscape/extensions/
     • Snap: ~/snap/inkscape/current/.config/inkscape/extensions/
   • macOS (Inkscape app bundle): ~/Library/Application Support/org.inkscape.Inkscape/config/inkscape/extensions/
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Inkscape\extensions\

2. Restart Inkscape, then find the extension under Extensions -> Knox Makers -> KM Plot.

3. Connect your plotter via USB/serial; select the detected port in the Device tab, adjust settings as needed, and click Send to plotter.
