NAME

       v.out.svg  - Exports a vector map to SVG file.

KEYWORDS

       vector, export

SYNOPSIS

       v.out.svg
       v.out.svg --help
       v.out.svg   input=name    [layer=string]    output=name  type=string   [precision=integer]
       [attribute=name[,name,...]]   [--overwrite]  [--help]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

   Flags:
       --overwrite
           Allow output files to overwrite existing files

       --help
           Print usage summary

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

       --ui
           Force launching GUI dialog

   Parameters:
       input=name [required]
           Name of input vector map
           Or data source for direct OGR access

       layer=string
           Layer number or name (’-1’ for all layers)
           A single vector map  can  be  connected  to  multiple  database  tables.  This  number
           determines  which  table  to  use.  When used with direct OGR access this is the layer
           name.
           Default: -1

       output=name [required]
           Name for SVG output file

       type=string [required]
           Output type
           Defines which feature-type will be extracted
           Options: poly, line, point
           Default: poly

       precision=integer
           Coordinate precision
           Default: 6

       attribute=name[,name,...]
           Attribute(s) to include in output SVG

DESCRIPTION

       v.out.svg converts GRASS vector data to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) code notation.   In
       particular, it

           •   converts  GRASS  line,  boundary,  area,  point, centroid objects to SVG <path />,
               <circle /> elements,

           •   reduces coordinate precision in SVG-output to save bandwidth,

           •   extracts GRASS attributes to gg:name="value" attributes.
       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
