draw2Svg Manual

This is fork to drawSvg, in which we try to readjust its coordinate system to follow SVG standard

A Python 3 library for programmatically generating SVG images (vector drawings) and rendering them or displaying them in a Jupyter notebook.

Most common SVG tags are supported and others can easily be added by writing a small subclass of DrawableBasicElement or DrawableParentElement.

An interactive Jupyter notebook widget, drawSvg.widgets.DrawingWidget, is included that can update drawings based on mouse events.

Initialization

Install and Call

This isn't work yet, we're still not on PyPI Install with pip install draw2Svg on command line, after that import to your project with import. Initiate a drawing instance with draw.Drawing(WIDTH,HEIGHT)

import draw2Svg as draw

d = draw.Drawing(400, 300)

Prerequisites

Cairo needs to be installed separately. When Cairo is installed, drawSvg can output PNG or other image formats in addition to SVG. See platform-specific instructions for Linux, Windows, and macOS from Cairo. Below are some examples for installing Cairo on Linux distributions and macOS.

Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install libcairo2

macOS

Using homebrew:

$ brew install cairo
