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.
svgwrite is a pure Python package and has no external dependencies.
with pip:
pip install svgwrite
or from source:
python setup.py install
