Update to tabbed box maker Inkscape plugin

[Paul Hutchison]

Time to ping all your social channels with an update --

The Inkscape plugin for creating complex tabbed boxes is (finally) compatible with v0.91 - Hooray!

https://github.com/paulh-rnd/TabbedBoxMaker

For those who weren't around last year when I updated this plugin, it allows you to create 6-, 5- or 4-sided boxes, 3-sided cornerpieces and 2-piece edge joins. But wait, there's more!  For an entire order of magnitude more utility and laser cutting enjoyment it can also auto-generate interlocking horizontal and/or vertical interior dividers! Huzzah!

Enjoy,

Paul

Congrats! =) Btw, I am also working on finger joint algorithm (For other product, not for inkscape) and I decided not to look into other solutions, remembering it was hard to understand I've looked last time )

Awesome, good work Sasha!

Yeah, the finger jointing algorithms can get complicated (especially trying to decipher someone else's implementation, like I had to). I'm the first to admit that my plugin source is *horrible*, I have to reverse engineer it all over again each time I go to update it :)  So if I ever get to learning Python properly, I'll probably rewrite it.

[Aleksandr Motsjonov]

Yeah, I haven't seen much point reverse engineering this mess, so I thought I would understand the problem properly and implemented it from scratch. I am happy with what I have. Basically I have separation between model, and actual coordinates (you can see one Class  https://github.com/soswow/processing-experiments/blob/master/FingerJoints/EdgeConfiguration.pde has nothing to do with x,y - it's pure form that later converted into actual x,y's)

Some graphics is required to explain what are "a1","b1/b2" "c1/c2" magic corner types means, but it's work in progress anyway.

Hello,

Unfortunately my ISP ceased their homepage service without telling the site owners, 

so I have spent days chasing up broken links.

my new site is on www.twot.eu 

and the tabbed box maker is on www.twot.eu/111000/111000.html

Could you please update the link on GItHub.

Cheers, elliot white (maker).

[Paul Hutchison]

Awesome, thanks for getting in touch Elliot!  I emailed you originally but figured it went to an unmonitored inbox when I got no reply :)

I'll update the github links now.  I hope you like the updates that John and I have made, feel free to take any/all changes and merge into your trunk.

And thanks for making such a useful tabbed box plugin in the first place, I've used it dozens of times!

+100! I've used it a LOT. And as Paul said, hacked on it a bit. I still don't fully understand how it works but I managed to get the job done :-)

Hey Paul,

I am trying to find the divider functionality in this extension. I am not sure how I am missing it.

It you could enlighten me I would be grateful.

Thanks

[Paul Hutchison]

Hi Scott,

Use the "Dividers (length axis)" and "Dividers (width axis)" to select how many dividers you want.  They will be evenly spaced across the box:

If you're not seeing those options then you may have the wrong plugin, try downloading it again.
