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

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

--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet

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: -1output=name[required]
Name for SVG output file

Output type
Defines which feature-type will be extracted
