svg_parser

local svg_parser = require'svg_parser'

A SVG 1.1 parser implemented in Lua.

Unlike other parsers, this one generates a cairo sceen graph object instead of directly rendering the SVG file on a canvas, which allows for manipulation of the graphics objects.

Included in the package is a handy collection of SVG files to test the parser with.

Some notable features are not yet implemented:

• patterns
• radial gradient has issues
• text
• markers
• constrained transforms: ref(svg,[x,y])
• external references
• use tag

Low-priority missing features:

• icc colors
• css language

svg_parser.parse(source) -> object

Parses a SVG into a cairo scene graph object that can be rendered with sg_cairo.

• source is an expat source.
