NAME

6       gimpsvg - convert a GIMP gradient (ggr) to the SVG format.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       gimpsvg [-g geometry] [-h] [-o file] [-p] [-s samples] [-v] [-V] [file]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The gimpsvg utility converts gradient files from the GIMP(1), the GNU
13       Image Manipulation Program, to the SVG (scalar vector graphics) format.
14
15       The program will read from stdin if a file is not specified as the
16       final argument, and write to stdout if the -o option is not specified.
17
18       The output is formatted for machines to read, rather than humans. A
19       post-processor such as tidy(1) could be used in the latter case.

OPTIONS

22       --backtrace-file path
23           Specify a file to which to write a formatted backtrace. The file
24           will only be created if there is a backtrace created, typically
25           when an error occurs.
26
27       --backtrace-format format
28           Specify the format of the backtrace written to the files specified
29           by --backtrace-file, one of plain, xml or json.
30
31       -g, --geometry widthxheight
32           Specify the size of the SVG preview in pixels.
33
34       -h, --help
35           Brief help.
36
37       -o, --output file
38           Write the output to file, rather than stdout.
39
40       -p, --preview
41           Include a preview in the SVG output. See also the --geometry
42           option.
43
44       -s, --samples number
45           Specify the maximum number of samples.  GIMP gradients allow for
46           complex curves in a number of colour-space co-ordinate systems. In
47           order that these can be converted into SVG's simple RGB linear
48           splines we must sample these complex curves quite densely. The -s
49           option specifies (roughly) the maximum number of samples. In the
50           case that the GIMP gradient is an RGB linear spline gradient the
51           option has no effect, since we can then convert the segments
52           without loss.
53
54       -v, --verbose
55           Verbose operation.
56
57       -V, --version
58           Version information.
