svgpath

Low level toolkit for svg paths transformations. Sometime you can't use transform attributes and have to apply changes to svg paths directly. Then this package is for you :) !

Note, this package works with paths, not with svg xml sources.

Install

npm install svgpath

Example

var SvgPath = require('svgpath');

var transformedPath = new SvgPath(__your_path__)
  .scale(0.5)
  .translate(100,200)
  .abs()
  .toFixed(1) // Here the real rounding happens
  .rel()
  .toFixed(1) // Fix js floating point error/garbage after rel()
  .toString()

API

All methods are chainable (return self).

SvgPath(path) -> self

Constructor. Create SvgPath instance with chainable methods.

.abs() -> self

Converts all path commands to absolute.

.rel() -> self

Converts all path commands to relative. Useful to reduce output size.

.scale(sx [, sy]) -> self

Rescale path (the same as SVG scale transformation).

.translate(x [, y]) -> self

Rescale path (the same as SVG scale transformation)

.unshort() -> self

Converts smooth curves (T, t, S, s) with missed control point to generic curves.

.toString() -> string

Returns final path string.

.round(precision) -> self

Round all coordinated to given decimal precision. By default round to integer. Useful to reduce resulting string size.

(!) NOTE:

1. You should apply abs() first, because relative coordinate summarize precision errors.
2. After .rel() call, your rounded values can be littered with tail like 0.000000000000023. So, you have to call .round(x) again. See example above.

.iterate(function) -> self

Apply iterator to all path segments. Each iterator receives segment, index, x, y params. Where (x, y) - absolute coordinates of segment start point.

Also, you iterator can return array of new segments, that should replace current one. On empty array current segment will be deleted.
