Easy to use SVG library for C++ (fork)
This library is a single file header-only C++ library for creating SVG files.
Simple-SVG was written to provide an easy API to allow beginners to become more accustomed to C++ by easily creating graphics.
This project creates files that can then be viewed by a sister project
. As you make changes to your SVG document, you will automatically see an updated image in File Monitor.
This is a fork/clone of the original code
.
Build Instructions
mkdir build cd build cmake .. make This will create the demo executable simple_svg and the test executable simple_svg_test, and run the tests.
You can run the demo with:
simple_svg to create a demo SVG file, my_svg.svg.
You can run the tests with:
ctest # brief info on success or failure or with
simple_svg_test # detailed info on success or failure to see the details of the tests.
Code modifications to satisfy cppcheck
Running cppcheck on the code:
cppcheck --enable=style --check-level=exhaustive main_1.0.0.cpp produced errors against the cppcheck ruleset.
These errors were fixed by making explicit constructors for Dimensions, Point, Layout, Color and updating code that uses these classes.
Classes available from the library
Color - Serializable Fill - Serializable Stroke - Serializable Font - Serializable ShapeColl - Shape Circle - Shape Elipse - Shape Rectangle - Shape Line - Shape Polygon - Shape Path - Shape Polyline - Shape Text - Shape LineChart - Shape Document - Neither A Document instance creates a svg file.
You can add any number of Shape instances to the document.
You use the serializable classes to set the properties of the shapes.
Example usage
See demo code in main_1.0.0.cpp for example usage.
