v.out.svg(1grass) Grass User's Manual v.out.svg(1grass)

NAME

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

KEYWORDS

vector, export

SYNOPSIS

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

Parameters:

input=name
 
Name of input vector map
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=string[,string,...]
 
Attribute(s) to include in output SVG
layer=integer
 
Layer number
 
A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use.
 
Default: 1

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 , 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
