svg2pts

Command line utility to convert the paths in a SVG to a list of points. All paths in the SVG are converted into a list of points with curve interpolation is controlled by command line arguments. Paths with no stroke nor fill are ignored. Output is a sequence of points, X Y\n

Installation

Using snaps:

sh snap install svg2pts

Using cargo: sh cargo install svg2pts OR with enabled text feature, requires harfbuzz, sh cargo install svg2pts --features=text This will make the svg2pts binary available in your cargo binary directory; usually ~/.cargo/bin.

Usage

``text svg2pts 0.1.5 Converts all paths in a svg to a list of points. Paths with no stroke nor fill are ignored. Output is a sequence of points,X Y\n`.

USAGE: svg2pts [OPTIONS] [ [

] ]

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information

OPTIONS: -a, --accuracy Set tolerance threshold for bezier curve approximation, lower -> higher quality [default: min(/25.0,0.05)] -d, --distance Set target distance between points, depends on DPI of SVG. If distance == 0.0 point distance not normalized. [default: 0.0]

ARGS: Input SVG file, stdin if not present

Output file, stdout if not present"# ```

Changelog

• v0.1.5
  • Fix: Commandline argument, output file bug.
  • Change: Lower tolerance threshold for improved default accuracy and scale thread threshold for small disances.
• v0.1.4
  • Make text support an optional feature, making the harfbuzz dependency optional.
• v0.1.3
  • Improved distance normalization: The points generated more accurately follow the paths in the SVG at a variety of distance parameters.
  • Hidden path removal: Paths which have no stroke nor fill value are ignored when generating points.
• v0.1.2
  • Transformations now applied: Previously path transformations where ignored.
