## About

Inkscape extension for putting tabs and scorelines on **closed** paths and objects like rectangles or other polygins. Given a closed path of straight lines, this program generates a paper model of tabs and score lines for each **straight** edge. You may not use bezier curves. Please convert them to polylines, for example using [Convert To Polylines](https://wiki.stadtfabrikanten.org/books/fablab-chemnitz/page/convert-to-polylines "Convert To Polylines") or [Approximate Curves by Straight Lines (Flatten Beziers)](https://wiki.stadtfabrikanten.org/books/in-house-extensions/page/approximate-curves-by-straight-lines-flatten-beziers "Approximate Curves by Straight Lines (Flatten Beziers)")
