# 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) Create a km-plot/ sub-directory in 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) Copy the files from this repo into that km-plot directory
|
|
|
|
3) Restart Inkscape, then find the extension under **Extensions -> Knox Makers -> KM Plot**.
|
|
|
|
4) Connect your plotter via USB/serial; select the detected port in the Device tab, adjust settings as needed, and click **Send to plotter**.
