Short: Tools to convert SVG to PDF/PS/PNG Author: MorphOS compile by Sigbjørn "CISC" Skjæret Uploader: aminet aminet net Type: gfx/misc Version: 1.2.2 Architecture: ppc-morphos What is SVG? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ From http://w3.org/Graphics/SVG/ - "SVG is a language for describing two-dimensional graphics and graphical applications in XML." What are the svg2pdf/png/ps tools? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I thought this was fairly obvious. ;) From http://www.cairographics.org/ - "Cairo is a vector graphics library designed to provide high-quality display and print output." This is the library used by these tools to convert an SVG into a PDF, PNG or PS respectively. What is the SVGbatch tool? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Simply a script that will automate the conversion of a complete directory of SVGs to PNG, it can be run from WB or Shell (more options are available then). What is the fc-cache tool? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's part of the fontconfig package. From http://www.fontconfig.org/ - "Fontconfig is a library for font customization and configuration." When run it will update/build a cache over all the fonts installed on your system. This cache is used by the SVG tools to find/pick the appropriate fonts for rendering text when needed. Where do I get SVGs? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Search around, there's plenty of cliparts, icons, etc out there, some good places to start would be: - http://www.openclipart.org/ - http://clipart.nicubunu.ro/ - http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Galleries - http://svgicons.sourceforge.net/ - http://www-jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk/~pgs31/kdestuff/kde_crystalsvg-latest.tar.bz2 - http://www.oxygen-icons.org/
