Create SVG Using Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET

You can create SVG from a string content using SVGDocument(content, base_uri) constructor:

from aspose.svg import SVGDocument

documentContent = "<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'><circle cx='100' cy='100' r='40' stroke='#ff9390' stroke-width='4' fill='#FF7F50' /></svg>";

# Create a new SVG document
document = SVGDocument(documentContent, ".")

# Save the document
document.save("create-svg-from-string.svg")

Convert SVG to PDF using PdfSaveOptions

Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET also allows you to convert SVG to PDF, XPS, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, WEBP, and other file formats. The following snippet demonstrates the conversion from SVG to PNG literally with a single line of code!

from aspose.svg import SVGDocument
from aspose.svg.converters import Converter
from aspose.svg.rendering import SizingType
from aspose.svg.drawing import Resolution
from aspose.svg.saving import PdfSaveOptions
from aspose.pydrawing import Color

# Open the SVG file
with SVGDocument("document.svg") as document:

	# Create PDF save options and customize them
	options = PdfSaveOptions()
	options.background_color = Color.from_argb(0, 255, 255, 255)
	options.page_setup.sizing = SizingType.FIT_CONTENT
	options.horizontal_resolution = Resolution.from_dots_per_inch(96.0)
	options.vertical_resolution = Resolution.from_dots_per_inch(96.0)
	options.jpeg_quality = 80

	# Convert SVG to PDF
	Converter.convert_svg(document, options, "document.pdf")

Using Python to Vectorize Images

Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET also allows you can convert a raster image to vector graphic using default or custom configuration options. You will be able to apply custom settings to get the best result of the image-to-vector conversion and save the output SVG file to your computer. The following snippet demonstrates the image vectorization:

from aspose.svg.imagevectorization import BezierPathBuilder, ImageTraceSmoother, ImageVectorizer

# Set up Bezier path builder with smoothing and curve-fitting parameters
path_builder = BezierPathBuilder()
path_builder.trace_smoother = ImageTraceSmoother(2)
path_builder.error_threshold = 30.0
path_builder.max_iterations = 30

# Initialize the image vectorizer
vectorizer = ImageVectorizer()
vectorizer.configuration.path_builder = path_builder
vectorizer.configuration.colors_limit = 25
vectorizer.configuration.line_width = 1.0

# Vectorize the image
with vectorizer.vectorize("flower.jpg") as document:
    document.save("flower.svg")
