GRASS GIS manual: v.out.svg

NAME

v.out.svg - Exports a vector map to SVG file.

KEYWORDS

vector, export

SYNOPSIS

v.out.svg
v.out.svg help
v.out.svg input=name layer=string output=name type=string [precision=integer] [attribute=name[,name,...]] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

--overwrite: Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output

Parameters:

input=name: Name of input vector map; Data source for direct OGR access
layer=string: Layer number or name ('-1' for all layers); A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. Layer name for direct OGR access.; Default: -1
output=name: Name for SVG output file
type=string: Output type; Defines which feature-type will be extracted; Options: poly,line,point; Default: poly
precision=integer: Coordinate precision; Default: 6
attribute=name[,name,...]: Attribute(s) to include in output SVG

DESCRIPTION

v.out.svg converts GRASS vector data to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) code notation. In particular, it

converts GRASS line, boundary, area, point, centroid objects to SVG <path />, <circle /> elements,
reduces coordinate precision in SVG-output to save bandwidth,
extracts GRASS attributes to gg:name="value" attributes.

The precision parameter controls the number of decimals for coordinates output (precision=0 corresponds to integer precision in the output SVG file).

EXAMPLE

Export polygons from GRASS vector map soils (Spearfish sample data) to SVG format:

v.out.svg input=soils output=/tmp/output.svg type=poly

Export lines from GRASS vector map t_hydro (Spearfish sample data) to SVG format, set coordinate precision to 0:

v.out.svg input=t_hydro output=/tmp/output.svg type=line precision=0

Export points from GRASS vector map archsites (Spearfish sample data) to SVG format, include attribute str1 (name):

v.out.svg input=archsites output=/tmp/output.svg type=point precision=0 attrib=str1
