What is SVG?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
From http://w3.org/Graphics/SVG/
- "SVG is a language for describing two-dimensional graphics and graphical
applications in XML."
What are the svg2pdf/png/ps tools?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thought this was fairly obvious. ;)
From http://www.cairographics.org/
- "Cairo is a vector graphics library designed to provide high-quality display
and print output."
This is the library used by these tools to convert an SVG into a PDF, PNG or PS
respectively.
What is the SVGbatch tool?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Simply a script that will automate the conversion of a complete directory of
SVGs to PNG, it can be run from WB or Shell (more options are available then).
What is the fc-cache tool?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's part of the fontconfig package.
From http://www.fontconfig.org/
- "Fontconfig is a library for font customization and configuration."
When run it will update/build a cache over all the fonts installed on your
system. This cache is used by the SVG tools to find/pick the appropriate
fonts for rendering text when needed.
Where do I get SVGs?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Search around, there's plenty of cliparts, icons, etc out there, some good
places to start would be:
- http://www.openclipart.org/
- http://clipart.nicubunu.ro/
- http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Galleries
- http://svgicons.sourceforge.net/
