This package is inactive! No new features will be added, there will
be no change of behavior, just bugfixes will be merged.
Abstract
A Python library to create SVG drawings.
a simple example::
import svgwrite
dwg = svgwrite.Drawing('test.svg', profile='tiny')
dwg.add(dwg.line((0, 0), (10, 0), stroke=svgwrite.rgb(10, 10, 16, '%')))
dwg.add(dwg.text('Test', insert=(0, 0.2), fill='red'))
dwg.save()
for more examples see: examples.py
As the name svgwrite
implies, svgwrite
creates new SVG drawings, it does not read existing drawings and also does
not import existing drawings, but you can always include other SVG drawings by the entity.
svgwrite
is a pure Python package and has no external dependencies.
Installation
with pip::
pip install svgwrite
or from source::
python setup.py install
