Directly manipulates SVG (XML) documents with a JSON project format for state tracking. ## Installation This CLI is installed as part of the cli-anything-inkscape package: ``bash pip install cli-anything-inkscape ` **Prerequisites:** - Python 3.10+ - inkscape must be installed on your system ## Usage ### Basic Commands `bash # Show help cli-anything-inkscape --help # Start interactive REPL mode cli-anything-inkscape # Create a new document cli-anything-inkscape document new -o project.json # Run with JSON output (for agent consumption) cli-anything-inkscape --json document info -p project.json ` ### REPL Mode When invoked without a subcommand, the CLI enters an interactive REPL session: `bash cli-anything-inkscape # Enter commands interactively with tab-completion and history ` You can also start the REPL with a nonexistent project path. The CLI now seeds a new in-memory document instead of failing immediately: `bash cli-anything-inkscape --project /abs/path/new-title.inkscape-cli.json ` ## Command Groups ### Document Document management commands. | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | new | Create a new document | | open | Open an existing project | | save | Save the current project | | info | Show document information | | profiles | List available document profiles | | canvas-size | Set the canvas size | | units | Set the document units | | json | Print raw project JSON | ### Shape Shape management commands. | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | add-rect | Add a rectangle | | add-circle | Add a circle | | add-ellipse | Add an ellipse | | add-line | Add a line | | add-polygon | Add a polygon | | add-path | Add a path | | add-star | Add a star | | remove | Remove a shape by index | | duplicate | Duplicate a shape | | list | List all shapes/objects | | get | Get detailed info about a shape | ### Text Text management commands. | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | add | Add a text element; supports --box-width , --box-height , and --line-height for wrapped layouts | | set | Set a text property (text, font-family, font-size, fill, box-width, box-height, line-height, etc.) | | list | List all text objects | ### Style Style management commands. | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | set-fill | Set the fill color of an object | | set-stroke | Set the stroke color (and optionally width) of an object | | set-opacity | Set the opacity of an object (0.0-1.0) | | set | Set an arbitrary style property on an object | | get | Get the style properties of an object | | list-properties | List all available style properties | ### Transform Transform operations (translate, rotate, scale, skew). | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | translate | Translate (move) an object | | rotate | Rotate an object | | scale | Scale an object | | skew-x | Skew an object horizontally | | skew-y | Skew an object vertically | | get | Get the current transform of an object | | clear | Clear all transforms from an object | ### Layer Layer management commands. | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | add | Add a new layer | | remove | Remove a layer by index | | move-object | Move an object to a different layer | | set | Set a layer property (name, visible, locked, opacity) | | list | List all layers | | reorder | Move a layer from one position to another | | get | Get detailed info about a layer | ### Path Group Path boolean operations. | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | union | Union of two objects | | intersection | Intersection of two objects | | difference | Difference of two objects (A minus B) | | exclusion | Exclusion (XOR) of two objects | | co
