You should now get a set of offset objects around your base object (star), that each have a defined distance from the previous one.

All items drawn in inkscape are a vector object. usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py:13: DeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib see the module's documentation for alternative uses import fnmatch, glob, traceback, errno, sys, atexit, locale, imp Traceback (most recent call last): File 'gcodetools.py', line 5921, in Gcodetools().run() File '/opt/inkscape_1.0.x/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex/base.py', line 140, in run self.save_raw(self.effect()) File 'gcodetools.py', line 5872, in effect _tab() File 'gcodetools.py', line 4164, in tab_area elem = area_group.add(PathElement(style=MARKER_STYLE)) File 'src/lxml/classlookup.pxi', line 77, in ._init_ File 'src/lxml/apihelpers.pxi', line 158, in lxml.etree._initNewElement File 'src/lxml/apihelpers.pxi', line 297, in lxml.etree._initNodeAttributes File 'src/lxml/apihelpers.pxi', line 311, in lxml.etree._addAttributeToNode File 'src/lxml/apihelpers.pxi', line 1437, in lxml.etree._utf8 TypeError: Argument must be bytes or unicode, got 'Style' What should have happened?
