SVGpage - 0.4

SVGpage is a pyGTK application to view and convert to and from vector (SVG) graphics [acting as a frontend for Autotrace.] In addition to SVG files the application is able to open PNG, GIF, JPG (including Exif), BMP and XPM. It can save as SVG, PNG or JPG.

If you are looking for an SVG editor capable of creating fine, crisp curves and gradients, you've got the wrong program. For simple graphics SVGpage can convert to SVG and render something very close. For involved images, like pictures, you wind up with a PAINTERLY EFFECT. This effect can be very distinctive and attractive and is sought after by many. Sort of a good, single-click "GIMPressionist." So if that's what you're looking for, you've found it.

SVGpage can also take your SVG images and convert them to a PNG or a JPG. Even resize them. It uses Bilinear Interpolation and does an excellent job.

Running on Slackware
The binary (Hallelujah!) runs on a default Ubuntu-5.10,
as well as on my customized Slackware 10.2.









Here is a pictue run "half-size" twice, then rendered on default settings.
Normally they images are shown just as thumbnails, but you can select to
"Show Full-Size" at any time for both SVGs and Rasters. Making it easy to compare.
