InklingReader - Summary

This software is part of the GNU Project.

This project is an attempt to create a GNU/Linux-friendly version of the Wacom Inkling SketchManager. Instead of integrating with proprietary programs, this program aims to be compatible with free software alternatives like Inkscape.

The program can:
- Display WPI files
- Merge WPI files (command-line only)
- Export to Inkscape SVG (preserving layers), PDF, PNG and JSON
- Convert all WPI files in a directory to SVG
- Automatically use different colors when the "new layer" is pressed multiple times.
- Give control over stroke pressure.
- Export timing information in JSON.
- Interact with the timeline of your drawing


There's an Inkscape extension available that allows you to open WPI files with Inkscape "directly". The extension uses InklingReader to convert the WPI format to SVG in the background.

Installing the extension is quite easy. Copy the files in res/inkscape-extension to your Inkscape extension directory. On GNU/Linux that is:

~/.config/inkscape/extensions/
