For these times when a path can be expressed mathematically, but writing a python-fu is beyond your ability (or not worth it) I wrote a small script to import CSV files, as produced by spreadsheet programs.

path-csv is available in my collection of path-related scripts. Please RTFM, there are some quirks.

Sample usage:

Cool!
I love your python scripts Ofnuts.
Is a import SVG path next?

Already there, Gimp does it natively...

Darn! I had forgotten that!

No more struggling with Ghostscript to open the SVG files from Ghost Diagrams.

Best to open the SVG file in Inkscape first to set the size to be the image size (otherwise, the bounding size is going to be smaller then image size). Then save and open SVG file in GIMP. Do this one all the time.

That's the problem I'm having with Ghostscript. Guess I need to load Inkscape and learn how to use it.

Thanks.
