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 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
