Tool box with applications to convert SVG graphivs to other vector formats and some bitmap formats.
Standard options are available in all applications. They cover configuration for conversion targets, message handling, input file, names for outoput file(s) and directories, Inkscape layer handline, and other general options. In addition, the applications are using the ExecS package and thus providing help and version information via command line as well.
general help (usage)
detailed help for each command line options
version information
read file either as plain text file or as GZIP (.gz
) file
can process plain SVG or Inkscape SVg files (latter required for layers)
set conversion target
set text-as-shape conversion option
set application to quiet mode
set application to verbose mode
activate warnings, process information, and detailed messages
deactivate error messages
automatically create directories
overwrite existing output files
keep temporarily created artifacts (files and directories)
set output file and/or directory
set basename for output files
deactivate use of basename for output files
process Inkscape layers found in input files
process layers if they exist
several options for the output file names when using layers
switch all layers on for single conversion
simulate conversion, i.e. run but only print messages, do not create any output
Converts SVG to vector formats using Apache Batik to load an SVG document and the Freehep libraries for the conversion. Supported target formats are: EMF, PDF, plain SVG (no Inkscape name space). Each target allows to configure:
switch on background
background color
switch off transparancy
use cliping
Converts SVG to vector formats and some bitmap formats using an existing Inkscape installation. Supported target formats are: EMF, PDF, EPS, PS, WMF, plain SVG (no Inkscape name space), and PNG. Other supported options are:
set Inkscape executable
create temporary SVG files first (as plain SVG or as Inkscape SVG)
manual (for optimized EMF generation) or Inkscape object selection handling of layers
target specific options as upported by Inkscape:
for PDF: set PDF version
for PS: set PS level
for PNG: set output DPI
