dwg.add(dwg.text('Test', insert=(0, 0.2), fill='red'))
dwg.save()

NEWS

Version 1.2.0 - 2018-10-27

  • NEW: Inkscape extension - support for Inkscape layers

  • BUGFIX: compatibility with Python 3.7 by fixing re.split() usage

Version 1.1.12 - 2017-12-27

  • BUGFIX: values attribute for element animate, accepts any semicolon separated values

Version 1.1.11 - 2017-05-31

  • CHANGED: e.set_markers((sm, mm, em)), accepts None/False values to set markers individually, like just set end marker: s.set_markers((None, False, em))

  • BUGFIX: text-decoration attribute accepts multiple values like ‘underline overline’

Version 1.1.10 - 2017-01-28

  • NEW: added pretty argument to Drawing.write, Drawing.save and Drawing.saveas to produce easy to read XML output, svgwrite reparses the output string with minidom, this reduces the performance because this process requires memory and runtime, default value for pretty is False.

Moved repository to GitHub.com: http://github.com/mozman/svgwrite.git

  • NEW: added solidColor paint server (only valid in the Tiny 1.2 profile)

  • Tests for Python 3 require CPython3.3 or newer, using the ‘u’ prefix.

Version 1.1.2 - 2013-01-08

  • new elements: Set, Animate, AnimateMotion, AnimateColor, AnimateTransform, all filter elements

  • added set_desc(title, desc), set_metadata(xmldata) to BaseElement class

  • moved content of interfaces.py to mixins.py, (ITransform -> Transform and so on)
