i am using inkscape on linux platform. with the help of
eggbot_hatch.py i can do hatch with successfully.


First write abc string on inkscape and generate svg file.
After doing hatch on same string and also save svg file.

i have send two file in attachment.

With out hatch i got coordinate order like

M 362.45312,387.16467 ..... (a)
M 398.80469,387.25842 .... (b)
M 429.32031,375.1178 ..... (c)

With the hatch apply on same string i got coordinate order like


M 398.80469,387.25842 C ........... (b)
M 380.80089,363.89124 ............ (hatch on char 'b' )
M 362.45312,387.16467 .........................(a)
M 350.80089,387.05008 .................. (hatch on char 'a' )
M 429.32031,375.1178 ............... (c)
M 408.80089,384.11055 .............(hatch on char 'c' )


you can see all coordinate not in right format.



i want coordinate with hatch like

M 362.45312,387.16467 .........................(a)
M 350.80089,387.05008 .................. (hatch on char 'a' )
M 398.80469,387.25842 C ........... (b)
M 380.80089,363.89124 ............ (hatch on char 'b' )
M 429.32031,375.1178 ............... (c)
M 408.80089,384.11055 .............(hatch on char 'c' )

There is no hidden switch in eggbot_hatch.py to bring about the behavior you seek.

The order you see things in your screen and/or drew them is not necessarily the order they are when a tree traversal is done of the XML structure in the SVG file. The result you are seeing will relate the ordering which resulted from that traversal. You may be able to counter this by setting the order of objects in the SVG (bringing elements forward or pushing them back). If that doesn't work, then you will need to re-write eggbot_hatch.py to suit your needs or write an extension to post process its output.
