Extension for rendering a sine wave

[Rafael Laboissiere]

I have written an extension for rendering a sine wave approximated by a Bezier curve with a minimal number of control points (four by period). Please find here attached the .inx and .py files.

This is the first-ever Inkscape extension I wrote. I hope I got things right.

thanks for the contribution!

- just for curiosity, have you compared your results to the results obtained from the Render->Function Plotter extension, which can also generate sine waves?

Alvin, even though the sine wave generated with my extension is more precise, the visual difference with the sine wave generated with the Function Plotter extension (with four control points) is quite small. The interface of my extension is much simpler, though.

I meant: with five control points.
