Bacon svg factory (UPDATED)

[vovchik]

UPDATED - 01Micko on the Puppy Linux forum found a small bug in my FIND routine. IT has been fixed and the attachment updated.

Hi all,

I just finished a useful little svg generator in BaCon. It contains a library of 225 nice/useful svg symbols, and you can assign colors for line and fill. By this means, controlling the colors, you can generate a perfectly matched icon set, for example. The archive contains a UPX'd 32-bit binary (compiled in Lucid) and the source. Don't think that your computer has stalled during compilation. I thought so myself at first. It just takes a long time to compile a large svg string array - several minutes on my machine. The un-UPX'd binary is some 270k using my compile string:


bacon -o -Os -o -fdata-sections -o -ffunction-sections -o -Wl,--gc-sections bsvg

After UPXing, it is 100k

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. I think I will also make a GUI version.

Hi guys,

Here is a slightly improved version. You can now output to stdout (for
redirecting purposes), and I added -C and -I (which output unformatted
lists of colors and icons), so that it is easier to parse these lists
in scripts.

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. I deleted the version I uploaded an hour ago, since I discovered that the help wasn't working properly. It is now.

I have compiled this , works very well ,

Think I will add this to the RAD tool

Thanks

Dear all,

I have revised bsvg again and added heaps of new svgs (now 410). I have also included a script that dumps all the icons in the library to your current directory as svg files - and you can specify colors. Incorporated in this version is a set by P.J. Onori (somerandomdude.com/work/iconic/), but I first had to modify all his polygons and other shape macros to full svg paths and to standardize all views to 128x128. His icons start with "I_". A real pain, that transformation exercise, but at least all the icons are now one size. I also added a few of my own (icon names starting with V_).

Have fun...

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. The archive contains the source, a 32-bit UPX'd binary compiled on Lucid and the dump script. I would place the binary and dump script in /usr/local/bin.

Wow !
That will make icons quickly talk about on the fly for theme changing

This will keep things light and fast
I haven't tried SVG Icons in Bacon yet but will do !

where do find time for all that coding ;D

great Job I will be using this



yes they work this viewer is part of
the latest rad cad called canvas-previewer3 a stand alone small app
multiple lines of code allowed the 0,0 is the location on the screen it can be changed too



tech note: I recompiled your source code with no problems

Think you read my mind.

just in the process of doing a dump , when you dumped this , can't believe it

Dear guys,

I have been at it again. This is version 0.1d, which now contains 478 icons. The "V-bk" ones are really good and useful, I think. I used potrace to create the vectors, and the results aren't bad. Please have a look. I think Axelfish and Joe can put this stuff to very good use.

With kind regards,

@ alexfish,

Sorry about the mispelling - I am dyslexic - or, at any rate, I cannot tell left from right without looking at my hands, and that can lead to silly mistakes. When driving, and I am told to "turn right", I invariably do the opposite. Good thing I have no car and don't drive much these days. A doctor friend once told me that that condition is not so uncommon.

With kind regards,

Hey vovchik
thank you for all your hard work
and using SVG images
helped me solve a problem I had with making images
used for my default window images in RAD

by using SVG as a hollow shape I can simulate a window size by having a border
and modify the SVG for different sizes which is not easy to do with
other image formats as you already know

this also works for text labels ! so two big problems I had are solved by using SVG
now "drawing" on a canvas is much easier



since you started this thread talking about SVG I would like to offer two examples of SVG
this may give you an idea to add editable sizes , shapes and text which would be a extra option to your already great app

Joe

this produces a 350x350 square with a yellow border

<svg width="100%" height="100%"  viewBox="0 0 350 350">
  <rect x="0" y="0" rx="0" ry="0" width="350" height="350" stroke="yellow" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
</svg>



this produces a 350x350 square with a yellow border with text in red

<svg width="100%" height="100%"  viewBox="0 0 350 350">
   <text x="0" y="10" fill="red">window 350 x 350 SVG  yellow </text>
<rect x="0" y="0" rx="0" ry="0" width="350" height="350" stroke="yellow" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
</svg>

Dear Joe,

Thanks. I didn't know that you could use "%" for width and height. That will come in very handy in processing svg vectors...

With kind regards,
vovchik

Did you know a dislexic can read a sentance by just looking at it ;D
There is a test on the Web.
