savage-generator 0.1.1

A basic SVG generator in Python

Savage

Savage is a lightweight and modular SVG generator written in Python. Designed with an object-oriented structure, it lets you build entire SVG documents programmatically — from simple shapes and text to complex, nested groups.

At its core is the Graphic class, which represents a complete SVG document. Combined with a growing library of SVG elements like Circle, Ellipse, Line, Polygon, Polyline, Rect, Text and Group, Savage makes it easy (not really) to construct and style SVG graphics dynamically.

Features

• ⚙️ Build full SVG documents with the Graphic class
• 🔵 Create shapes: Circle, Ellipse, Line, Polygon, Polyline, Rect
• 📝 Add text labels with styling via the Text class
• 🧩 Group elements together using Group for hierarchical layouts
• 🎨 Set attributes like position, fill, stroke, font size, and more
• 🧱 Clean, extensible architecture for adding new SVG element types
• 🧪 Built-in support for testing and development via pytest

Usage

Savage is built around combining individual SVG elements into a full document. You can create shapes and text, organize them into groups, and output valid SVG markup using the Graphic class.

Create and render a simple SVG

from savage import Graphic, Circle, Rect, Text, Group

# Create a red rectangle and a blue circle
rect = Rect(x=10, y=10, width=200, height=100, fill="red")
circle = Circle(cx=110, cy=60, r=40, fill="blue")

# Add a label
label = Text(x=60, y=65, content="Hello SVG!", fill="white", font_size="18")

# Group them together
group = Group(content=[rect, circle, label])

# Create the SVG document and add the group
doc = Graphic(width=300, height=150)
doc.add(group)

# Print the full SVG
print(doc.to_svg())

This will output SVG markup that you can save to a file or embed in a webpage.

Save to a file

# Save the SVG to a file
doc.save("output.svg")

Running Tests

To run the tests, simply run:

Run tests using pytest
