Write star and arc sodipodi path creators
Many extensions draw stars and arc using the sodipodi namespaces, this works ok when the paths are sent back to inkscape, but cause problems if you ask for the bounding box or want to use inkex outside of the inkscape context.
Marc has provided a javascript version of how to write the stars:
Star.prototype.draw_star=function(r_ext,n_pic,r_int,poly,angle_dec){
angle_dec=angle_dec||0;
s="M"+r_ext+" 0L";
for( var i=0; i<n_pic; i++){
s+=Math.cos(2*Math.PI*i/n_pic)*r_ext+","+Math.sin(2*Math.PI*i/n_pic)*r_ext
+" ";
if(!poly){
s+=Math.cos(2*Math.PI*(i+0.5)/n_pic+angle_dec)*r_int+","
+Math.sin(2*Math.PI*(i+0.5)/n_pic+angle_dec)*r_int+" ";
}
}
s+="z";
return s;
};
This code, and arc code needs to be added in the def path
section if path is not defined yet (or if the sodipodi settings get set) This might involve separate classes like is currently done for Layer
