mountain-svgpath 1.1.0

Parse SVG files to numpy vectors

Pure Python SVG to Numpy 2D Array

Pure functional implimentation.
Should be easy to follow the implementation and extend.

Functionality:

• Parse SVG file to Python List representing SVG paths
• Generate list of 2D points from SVG paths
• Convert SVG relative paths to absolute representation

Hosted on PyPI

pip install mountain-svgpath

Plot SVG Paths

# python script
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from svgpath import paths_to_points
paths = list(tree_to_paths(tree))

_, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.invert_yaxis() # origin at top left
for path in paths_to_points(paths, resolution=100):
    for trace in path:
        ax.plot(trace[:, 0], trace[:, 1])
plt.show()

The library includes a plotting script.
It requires matplotlib and pyqt6 be installed "pip install mountain-svgpath[display]".
