svgconv: SVG to OpenVG path converter

Introduction

svgconv is a command line tool used to convert path data from SVG files into something that can be easily rendered using OpenVG. The output of the tool can be directly included into a C application and its format is well suited for rendering with OpenVG.

Converting and using converted content

Here are is a very high-level procedure for using converted SVG files:

1. Convert an SVG file into a .inl file (C format)

   $ svgconv --prefix=obj1 arc1.svg > arc1.inl
   

2. #include the .inl file into some C file that wishes to use the converted path data

   /* Include the data, symbols will be prefixed with 'obj1' */
   #include "arc1.inl"
   
   /* And convert into OpenVG path data */
   

3. Render the object using OpenVG calls

   /* Render object 'obj1' with OpenVG */
   for(i=0;i < NUM_CHILI_PATHS;i++)
   {
       vgSetColor(paint, obj_paths[i].color | 255);
       vgDrawPath(chiliPath[i], VG_FILL_PATH);
   }
   

Please see c-run-time/render.c source file for more details on how to use OpenVG for rendering your paths.
