svglib An experimental library for reading and converting SVG. `Svglib` is an experimental library for reading `SVG <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/>`_ files and converting them (to a reasonable degree) to other formats using the Open Source `ReportLab Toolkit <http://www.reportlab.org>`_. As a package it reads existing SVG files and returns them converted to ReportLab Drawing objects that can be used in a variety of ReportLab-related contexts, e.g. as Platypus Flowable objects or in RML2PDF. As a command-line tool it converts SVG files into PDF ones. Tests include a vast amount of tests from the `W3C SVG test suite <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Test_Suite_Overview>`_. This release accesses `199 flags from Wikipedia.org <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_sovereign_state_flags>`_ for test purposes. Features ++++++++ - convert SVG files into ReportLab Graphics Drawing objects - handle plain or compressed SVG files (.svg and .svgz) - allow patterns for output files on command-line - install a Python package named ``svglib`` - install a Python command-line script named ``svg2pdf`` - provide a Unittest test suite - test on some standard W3C SVG tests available online - test on some Wikipedia sample SVG symbols available online - test on some Wikipedia sample SVG flags available online Examples ++++++++ You can use `svglib` as a Python package e.g. like in the following interactive Python session:: >>> from svglib.svglib import svg2rlg >>> from reportlab.graphics import renderPDF >>> >>> drawing = svg2rlg("file.svg") >>> renderPDF.drawToFile(drawing, "file.pdf") In addition a script named ``svg2pdf`` can be used more easily from the system command-line like this (you can see more examples when typing ``svg2pdf -h``):: $ svg2pdf file1.svg file2.svgz $ svg2pdf -o "%(basename)s.pdf" /path/file[12].svgz? http://www.dinu-gherman.net/tmp/svglib-0.6.2.tar.gz Dinu Gherman 7bb08fcdc2bcde8b5c6a9f3d15260508624e7291 0.6.2
