A Python library to create SVG drawings.

Project description

svgwrite

Abstract

A Python library to create SVG drawings.

a simple example:

import svgwrite

dwg = svgwrite.Drawing('test.svg', profile='tiny')
dwg.add(dwg.line((0, 0), (10, 0), stroke=svgwrite.rgb(10, 10, 16, '%')))
dwg.add(dwg.text('Test', insert=(0, 0.2), fill='red'))
dwg.save()

for more examples see: examples.py

As the name svgwrite implies, svgwrite creates new SVG drawings, it does not read existing drawings and also does not import existing drawings, but you can always include other SVG drawings by the <image> entity.

Installation

with pip:

pip install svgwrite

or from source:

python setup.py install
