VectorPlus

A library & utility for interacting with SVG documents.

Packages

VectorPlus

VectorPlus acts primarily as a wrapper over SwiftSVG providing extensions for interacting with:

• CoreGraphics
• UIKit
• AppKit
• SwiftUI

When linked to a target that supports one of these frameworks, multiple options become available.

CoreGraphics

• CGMutablePath.addCommand(_:from:to:): Adds a Path.Command to the mutable path. The addition of the Rects allow for correct placement and scaling.

• CGContext.render(path:from:to:) throws: Rendered a Path in the given context. Uses information about fills and strokes to fill and/or stroke the path.

UIKit

• SVG.uiImage(size:) -> UIImage?: A CoreGraphics rendered UIImage representation of the SVG paths.

• SVG.pngData(size:) -> Data?: A Data representation of the UIImage.

• SVGImageView: A UIImageView subclass that supports the assignment of an SVG object. The .image will automatically be generated using the view bounds.

AppKit

• SVG.nsImage(size:) -> NSImage?: A CoreGraphics rendered NSImage representation of the SVG paths.

• SVG.pngData(size:) -> Data?: A Data representation of the NSImage.

SwiftUI

• SVGView(svg:): A SwiftUI.View that renders a SVG document.

Command Line Interface

Inspect

Parses an SVG document and prints out the document description.

Convert

Parses an SVG document and creates a PNG rendered version of the Commands.

Supported conversion options are:

• absolute: Translates all elements to 'absolute' paths.

• symbols: Generates an Apple Symbols compatible SVG.

• uikit: A UIImageView subclass that supports dynamic sizing.
