SVG attributes (viewbox)
-
Hi everyone!
When exporting drawings to SVG is possible to instruct DrawBot to add the viewBox attribute?Thanks in advance.

hello @guidoferreyra,
as far as I can tell, the SVG
viewBox
attribute is not written by DrawBot. but SVG is XML, so you can easily parse and modify it with Python after it has been created:# draw something, save as svg size(600, 200) fill(1, 0, 0) rect(50, 60, 200, 100) fill(0, 1, 0) oval(300, 50, 200, 200) fill(None) stroke(0, 0, 1) strokeWidth(10) rect(0, 0, width(), height()) svgPath = 'svg-viewport-test.svg' saveImage(svgPath) # add viewBox attribute to <svg> from lxml.etree import parse xml = parse(svgPath) svg = xml.getroot() svg.attrib['viewBox'] = '0 0 180 150' xml.write(svgPath.replace('.svg', '_viewbox.svg'))
hope this helps… cheers!

could elaborate why a
viewBox
is necessary? and how it relates towidth
,height
DrawBot is using.(maybe this discussion must move to an github issue)
