Thank you again for taking the time to respond.

I understand now.
Inside the SVG I have to make sure that I am setting up the proper namespace for inkscape usage.

The following block needs to be included otherwise my svg reader throughs an error about the included colon.

`
svg->setAttribute(“xmlns:dc”,”http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/”);
svg->setAttribute(“xmlns:cc”,”http://creativecommons.org/ns#”);
svg->setAttribute(“xmlns:rdf”,”http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#”);
svg->setAttribute(“xmlns:svg”,”http://www.w3.org/2000/svg”);
svg->setAttribute(“xmlns”,”http://www.w3.org/2000/svg”);
svg->setAttribute(“xmlns:inkscape”,”http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape”);
`

Thank you!

You are saying that using eraul signs and hyphens in the SVG are not proper?

Here https://wiki.evilmadscientist.com/AxiDraw_Layer_Control
you are showing us to do just that
inkscape:groupmode=”layer”

and the example SVGs that come with Axidraw-Examples-1-2.4 also have that in them
inkscape:groupmode=”layer”

I am confused.
???

Thanks for the reply.

So I take it
inkscape:label = “1 +D250name” and inkscape:groupmode=”layer”
both really need the “inkscape:”
and axidraw API will not work with just
label = “1 +D250name” and groupmode=”layer” ?

For now I will follow your suggestion and use the simple string concatenation approach.

Noted. Thanks.

I noticed I misspelled SVG and instead wrote SVF in the title. Is there a way to edit that?

I thought that the Axidraw API would have a way to interface/use the Hershey Text, since Inkscape does it too.
But it’s not a big problem.

I integrated these fonts in the ofxHersheyText openframeworks addon: https://github.com/stephanschulz/ofxHersheyFont
And here how to parse the font’s SVGs in to a string that can be run as a python script that then uses the axidraw API to plot.
