C++ Scalable Vector Graphics utilities library .version 1.0

How to use/build

Note: all following instructions are designed for linux system, if you are using other systems, please only use them as an reference, as the process might be simular

Viewer

1. Make sure you have sfml(gui support), tinyxml2(raw info extract) and a proper c++ compiler installed.

2. To build, run bash make.bash in terminal in the root of the project folder.

   Note: designed for gcc compiler only, please write your own if you are using otherwise

3. Expect an executable be produced in the root of project folder named svgviewer

   To use, run ./svgviewer <path/to/your/file.svg>, then expect an gui.

   example screen shot: ./svgviewer ./svgs/flower.svg Gui explaination:

   • Right: graphic extracted from svg.

   • Left: point graph produced through function:

     sl::pointgraph sl::simplify(pointgraph old,double minLen,double maxLen,double minAngle)

SVG Utility library

1. Make sure you have tinyxml2 installed, used for extract raw info from svg file, which is also part of xml family.

2. Add svglib.hpp and svglib.cpp together to the folder you want (make sure they are in the same folder)

3. Add #inlcude <path/to/svglib.hpp> to your program file where you are going to implement it

   or just #inlcude "svglib.hpp" if they are in the same folder with your program file

4. As you can see in svglib.hpp, all utility functions are stored in namespace sl, import the namespace and start coding XD!

File system explain

Sources files - "src/"

• svglib.hpp/svglib.cpp Includs all svg utilities provided, tested, and useable.
• main.cpp/view.hpp/view.cpp: A simple sfml program for displaying utilty results for testing purposes.
• svgtran.hpp/svgtran.cpp: Utilities for svg's transform attribute. Note: not implemented

SVG files - "svgs/"

A list of simple svg file collected that this library supports and can work with for testing purposes.

Others

• make.bash: Viewer program building command script for bash.

  To use, run bash make.bash in terminal in the root of the project folder.

• svgviewer: Linux executable for viewer program.

  To use, run ./svgviewer <path/to/your/file.svg>, then expect an gui.

• LICENCE.txt: GPL Licence

Note.

1. As explained, all Transform attribute are unfortunaly not implemented.

   In simple terms: I tried, and I failed...

2. For anyone who is willing to suggest/edit/improve on source code, I am more than wellcome

3. This project is GPL licenced.
