Using SVG, you can generate SVG objects, embed other SVG instances into it, access the DOM object, create and access javascript, and generate SMIL animation content. =head2 General Steps to generating an SVG document Generating SVG is a simple three step process: =head2 1 The first step is to construct a new SVG object with L<"new">. =head2 2 The second step is to call element constructors to create SVG elements. Examples of element constructors are L<"circle"> and L<"path">. =head2 3 The third and last step is to render the SVG object into XML using the L<"xmlify"> method. The L<"xmlify"> method takes a number of optional arguments that control how SVG renders the object into XML, and in particular determine whether a standalone SVG document or an inline SVG document fragment is generated: =head2 -standalone A complete SVG document with its own associated DTD. A namespace for the SVG elements may be optionally specified. =head2 -inline An inline SVG document fragment with no DTD that be embedded within other XML content. As with standalone documents, an alternate namespace may be specified. No XML content is generated until the third step is reached. Up until this point, all constructed element definitions reside in a DOM-like data structure from which they can be accessed and modified. =head2 EXPORTS None. However, SVG permits both options and additional element methods to be specified in the import list. These options and elements are then available for all SVG instances that are created with the L<"new"> constructor. For example, to change the indent string to two spaces per level: use SVG (-indent => " "); With the exception of -auto, all options may also be specified to the L<"new"> constructor. The currently supported options and their default value are: # processing options -auto => 0, # permit arbitrary autoloading of all unrecognised elements -printerror => 1, # print error messages to STDERR -raiseerror => 1, # die on errors (implies -printerror) # rendering options -indent => "\t", # what to indent with -elsep => "\n", # element line (vertical) separator # (note that not all agents ignor trailing blanks) -nocredits => 0, # enable/disable credit note comment -namespace => '', # The root element's (and it's children's) namespace prefix # XML and Doctype declarations -inline => 0, # inline or stand alone -docroot => 'svg', # The document's root element -version => '1.0', -extension => '', -encoding => 'UTF-8', -xml_svg => 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', # the svg xmlns attribute -xml_xlink => 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink', # the svg tag xmlns:xlink attribute -standalone => 'yes', -pubid => "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN", # formerly -identifier -sysid => 'http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd', # the system id SVG also allows additional element generation methods to be specified in the import list. For example to generate 'star' and 'planet' element methods: use SVG qw(star planet); or: use SVG ("star","planet"); This will add 'star' to the list of elements supported by SVG.pm (but not of course other SVG parsers...). Alternatively the '-auto' option will allow any unknown method call to generate an element of the same name: use SVG (-auto => 1, "star", "planet"); Any elements specified explicitly (as 'star' and 'planet' are here) are predeclared; other elements are defined as and when they are seen by Perl. Note that enabling '-auto' effectively disables compile-time syntax checking for valid method names. B use SVG ( -auto => 0, -indent => " ", -raiseerror => 0, -printerror => 1, "star", "planet", "moon" ); =head2 Default SVG tag The Default SVG tag will generate the following XML: $svg = SVG->new; print $svg->xmlify; Resulting XML snippet: =head1 SEE ALSO perl(1), L, L, L, L LROIT Systems: Commercial SVG perl solutions LSVG at the W3C =head1 AUTHOR Ronan Oger, RO IT Systems GmbH, cpan@roitsystems.com =head1 CREDITS Peter Wainwright, Excellent ideas, beta-testing, writing SVG::Parser and much of SVG::DOM. Fredo, http://www.penguin.at0.net/~fredo/ - provided example code and initial feedback for early SVG.pm versions and the idea of a simplified svg generator. Adam Schneider, Brial Pilpré, Ian Hickson Martin Owens - SVG::DOM improvements in version 3.34 =head1 EXAMPLES See also the examples directory in this distribution which contain several fully documented examples. =pod =head1 METHODS SVG provides both explicit and generic element constructor methods. Explicit generators are generally (with a few exceptions) named for the element they generate. If a tag method is required for a tag containing hyphens, the method name replaces the hyphen with an underscore. ie: to generate tag you would use method $svg->column_heading(id=>'new'). All element constructors take a hash of element attributes and options; element attributes such as 'id' or 'border' are passed by name, while options for the method (such as the type of an element that supports multiple alternate forms) are passed preceded by a hyphen, e.g '-type'. Both types may be freely intermixed; see the L<"fe"> method and code examples througout the documentation for more examples. =head2 new (constructor) $svg = SVG->new(%attributes) Creates a new SVG object. Attributes of the document SVG element be passed as an optional list of key value pairs. Additionally, SVG options (prefixed with a hyphen) may be set on a per object basis: B my $svg1 = SVG->new; my $svg2 = SVG->new(id => 'document_element'); my $svg3 = SVG->new(s -printerror => 1, -raiseerror => 0, -indent => ' ', -docroot => 'svg', #default document root element (SVG specification assumes svg). Defaults to 'svg' if undefined -sysid => 'abc', #optional system identifyer -pubid => "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN", #public identifyer default value is "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN" if undefined -namespace => 'mysvg', -inline => 1 id => 'document_element', width => 300, height => 200, ); Default SVG options may also be set in the import list. See L<"EXPORTS"> above for more on the available options. Furthermore, the following options: -version -encoding -standalone -namespace Defines the document or element level namespace. The order of assignment priority is element,document . -inline -identifier -nostub -dtd (standalone) may also be set in xmlify, overriding any corresponding values set in the SVG->new declaration =head2 xmlify (alias: to_xml render serialise serialize) $string = $svg->xmlify(%attributes); Returns xml representation of svg document. B Name Default Value -version '1.0' -encoding 'UTF-8' -standalone 'yes' -namespace 'svg' - namespace for elements -inline '0' - If '1', then this is an inline document. -pubid '-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN'; -dtd (standalone) 'http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd' =head2 tag (alias: element) $tag = $svg->tag($name, %attributes) Generic element generator.

B my $tag = $svg->tag('g', transform=>'rotate(-45)'); =head2 anchor $tag = $svg->anchor(%attributes) Generate an anchor element. Anchors are put around objects to make them 'live' (i.e. clickable).

B my $tag = $svg->line( id=>'l1', x1=>0, y1=>10, x2=>10, y2=>0 ); To draw multiple connected lines, use L<"polyline">. =head2 text $text = $svg->text(%attributes)->cdata(); $text_path = $svg->text(-type=>'path'); $text_span = $text_path->text(-type=>'span')->cdata('A'); $text_span = $text_path->text(-type=>'span')->cdata('B'); $text_span = $text_path->text(-type=>'span')->cdata('C'); define the container for a text string to be drawn in the image.
