Extension on The Augmented Scholar

AI Image Generator for Inkscape

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Prompt a diffusion model and receive the generated image placed on your Inkscape canvas, ready to crop, mask, and compose into posters or graphical abstracts.

Why it exists

Illustrative imagery for talks and posters shouldn’t require leaving your layout tool or a stock-photo subscription.

AI SVG Generator for Inkscape

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Describe the graphic you need in plain language and the extension asks an LLM to produce SVG, inserted straight onto your canvas as editable vector objects. Best for icons, simple schematics, and layout starting points you then refine by hand.

Bibliography References in Inkscape

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Point the extension at your .bib file and insert formatted references onto the canvas — the poster reference section stops being a manual transcription exercise with inevitable typos.

Why it exists

Poster references are where citation errors hide in plain sight at conferences; pulling from the same .bib as your paper ends that.

D2 Diagrams in Inkscape

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

D2’s modern diagram language produces cleaner automatic layouts than most tools; this extension renders it straight onto the Inkscape canvas for annotation and journal-grade finishing.

Why it exists

Architecture and pipeline schematics deserve better than dragged boxes — declare them in D2, refine them in vector.

LLM Text Generator for Inkscape

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Ask for figure captions, poster blurbs, or label alternatives inside Inkscape and place results directly as text objects. Works with local LLMs for fully offline use.

Why it exists

Poster and figure text goes through a dozen micro-iterations — doing them on-canvas keeps you in flow.

Matplotlib Figures Inside Inkscape

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Write matplotlib code in a dialog inside Inkscape and the rendered figure lands on your canvas as native SVG — every axis, label, and line editable. The export-to-PNG-and-reimport cycle that breaks figure workflows disappears.

Mermaid Diagrams in Inkscape

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Paste or write Mermaid syntax in the extension dialog and the rendered diagram arrives as SVG objects. Auto-layout does the structure; Inkscape does the publication polish Mermaid can’t.

Why it exists

Mermaid’s weakness is fine control; Inkscape’s weakness is fast structure. This pairing gives you both.

Poster Utilities for Inkscape

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Creates the structural furniture of an academic poster — header band with title, authors, affiliations, logos — from a dialog, so you start from a correct skeleton instead of aligning rectangles for an hour.

TikZ Drawing in Inkscape

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

A ready-made TexText configuration that lets you write TikZ code and render it inside Inkscape — combining TikZ’s mathematical precision with visual placement and composition.

Why it exists

TikZ output with Inkscape composition is the best of both figure worlds — precise primitives, visual assembly.
