CLI to generate SVG or PNG diagrams of Go games from SGF format game records.
SVG output is clean and well labeled for easy re-styling or modification.
Supports numbered moves, markup, kifu output, and several customizable styles.
Check the releases page on GitHub for pre-built binaries.
If you have cargo installed, you can also install the package from crates.io:
$ cargo install sgf-render
If you have git and cargo installed you can also build from source:
$ git clone https://julianandrews/sgf-render
$ cd sgf-render
$ cargo build --release
$ ./target/release/sgf-render -h
``` Usage: sgf-render [FILE] [options]
Options:
-o, --outfile FILE Output file. SVG and PNG formats supported.
-n, --node PATH_SPEC
Node to render. For simple use provide a number or
last to render the last node. See the README for
more detail (default 0).
-w, --width WIDTH Width of the output image in pixels (default 800).
-s, --shrink-wrap Draw only enough of the board to hold all the stones
(with 1 space padding).
-r, --range RANGE Range to draw as a pair of corners (e.g. 'cc-ff').
--style STYLE Style to use. One of 'simple', 'fancy' or
'minimalist'.
--custom-style FILE
Custom style to use. Overrides '--style'. See the
README for details.
--move-numbers Draw move numbers (disables other markup).
--first-move-number NUM
First move number to draw if using --move-numbers
--label-sides SIDES
Sides to draw board labels on (any of nesw).
--no-board-labels
Don't draw position labels.
--no-marks Don't draw SGF marks.
--no-triangles Don't draw SGF triangles.
--no-circles Don't draw SGF circles.
--no-squares Don't draw SGF squares.
--no-selected Don't draw SGF selected.
--no-dimmed Don't draw SGF dimmmed.
--no-labels Don't draw SGF labels.
--no-lines Don't draw SGF lines.
--no-arrows Don't draw SGF arrows.
--kifu Generate a kifu.
--version Display the version and exit.
-h, --help Display this help and exit.
```
If FILE isn't provided, sgf-render will read from stdin. If --outfile
isn't provided sgf-render will print the resulting SVG to stdout.
For the --node argument PATH_SPEC should be a comma-separated list of
steps. A step can be a number which advances that many steps, 'v' followed by
a number which advances one step down the chosen variation, or last which
advances to the last node down the current variation. Variations are
zero-indexed, so, for instance, v0 is equivalent to 1.
Note that the zeroth node in an SGF usually has no moves, but may have setup (which is common for tsumego). Nodes without moves (with commentary or annotations) are possible, but uncommon.
Examples:
--node 0: Show the root node (usually before the first move).--node 7: Show the 8th node (probably the 7th move) of the main variation.--node last: Show the last node of the main variation.--node 5,v1,12: Advance to the 6th node advance 1 step down the first
(non-main) variation at that node, then advance 12 more steps. Show that
node.--node 5,v1,last: Advance to the 6th node advance 1 step down the first
(non-main) variation at that node, then advance to the last node. Show that
node.By default sgf-render generates diagrams designed to show the board position
at a single point in time. Captured stones are removed, and when using
--move-numbers only the last move number at a given point is displayed.
--kifu generates diagrams appropriate for use as a whole game record:
--node defaults to last (can be overridden).You can use the --custom-style flag to specify a file with custom style
configuration in TOML format. As an example here's the style config for the
simple style:
line_color = "black"
line_width = 0.03
hoshi_radius = 0.09
background_fill = "#cfa87e"
label_color = "#6e5840"
black_stone_fill = "black"
white_stone_fill = "white"
black_stone_stroke = "black"
white_stone_stroke = "black"
markup_stroke_width = 0.1
black_stone_markup_color = "white"
white_stone_markup_color = "black"
empty_markup_color = "black"
black_stone_selected_color = "blue"
white_stone_selected_color = "blue"
empty_selected_color = "blue"
You can see a couple other examples in the source code package under

Pull requests are welcome! For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.
Feature requests are also welcome! The goal is to make this a general purpose sgf diagram generation tool. Just open an issue at GitHub.
