v.out.svg(1grass) GRASS GIS User's Manual v.out.svg(1grass)
NAME
v.out.svg - Exports a vector map to SVG file.
KEYWORDS
vector, export, output
SYNOPSIS
v.out.svg
v.out.svg --help
v.out.svg input=name [layer=string] output=name type=string [preci-
sion=integer] [attribute=name[,name,...]] [--overwrite] [--help]
[--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
input=name [required]
Name of input vector map
Or 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. When used with direct
OGR access this is the layer name.
Default: -1
output=name [required]
Name for SVG output file
type=string [required]
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
