Parametric SVG Utility

psvg-cli is a commandline utility for applying various transformations to Parametric SVG files.

It is written in Python, using the click library for commandline interfaces, and follows the same pattern as the imagepipe example for multi-command chaining.

You can access help for the tool as a whole (psvg-cli --help), or for a specific command (psvg-cli process --help), or a subcommand (psvg-cli process open --help).

Installation

You can install the latest release from pypi using pip install psvg-cli

Alternatively, you can install from the source code in this repository by running:

git clone https://github.com/jamesscottbrown/psvg-cli.git
cd psvg-cli
python setup.py install

Examples

psvg-cli parameters glyph_definitions/*

psvg-cli process opendir ./glyph_definitions  \
remove_parametric_params save

psvg-cli process \
open -i glyph_definitions/Aptamer.svg -i glyph_definitions/CDS.svg \
remove_parametric_params save

psvg-cli process \
open -i glyph_definitions/Aptamer.svg -i glyph_definitions/CDS.svg remove_parametric_params \
save --format all

psvg-cli process \
open -i glyph_definitions/Aptamer.svg -i glyph_definitions/CDS.svg \ 
remove_parametric_params delete_by_class -c baseline save 

psvg-cli process open -i glyph_definitions/Aptamer.svg apply_transformation save 

psvg-cli process \
open -i glyph_definitions/Aptamer.svg \
style_class -c "baseline" -s "opacity:1;fill:none;fill-opacity:1;stroke:#b3b3b3;stroke-width:0.49999994; stroke-linecap:round;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-miterlimit:4;stroke-dasharray:1,0.5; stroke-dashoffset:0;stroke-opacity:1" \
save

psvg-cli process \
open -i glyph_definitions/Aptamer.svg \
substitute -o width -n w \
save

By default, the results of process commands will be written to a ./processed directory.
