Hi Romain,

this can be solved with a simple plugin object, like the code below. The only 
unusual part is that the inherited "DrawShape" method is overidden. This way 
the TeXMark objects don't appear in the printout. 

Reading out the coordinates from .sk-files is easy as:

from sys import stdin
from string import split

for l in stdin.readlines():
    if l[:12] == "PC('TeXMark'":
        values = split(l[3:-3], ',') 
        name = values[1]
        x,y = values[-2:]
        print x,y,name

Hope this is what you wanted, 
Christof
