In particular, it <ul> <li>converts GRASS line, boundary, area, point, centroid objects to SVG <path />, <circle /> elements,</li> <li>reduces coordinate precision in SVG-output to save bandwidth,</li> <li>extracts GRASS attributes to gg:name="value" attributes.</li> </ul> The <em>precision</em> parameter controls the number of decimals for coordinates output (<em>precision=0</em> corresponds to integer precision in the output SVG file). <h2>EXAMPLE</h2> <p> Export <b>polygons</b> from GRASS vector map soils (Spearfish sample data) to SVG format: <div class="code"><pre> v.out.svg input=soils output=/tmp/output.svg type=poly </pre></div> <p> Export <b>lines</b> from GRASS vector map t_hydro (Spearfish sample data) to SVG format, set coordinate precision to 0: <div class="code"><pre> v.out.svg input=t_hydro output=/tmp/output.svg type=line precision=0 </pre></div> <p> Export <b>points</b> from GRASS vector map archsites (Spearfish sample data) to SVG format, include attribute <b>str1</b> (name): <div class="code"><pre> v.out.svg input=archsites output=/tmp/output.svg type=point precision=0 attrib=str1 </pre></div> <H2>REFERENCES</H2> <a href="http://svg.cc/grass/index.html">Modul v.out.svg at svg.cc</a> <br> <a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/">SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) at w3c.org</a> <h2>SEE ALSO</h2> <em><A HREF="v.out.ogr.html">v.out.ogr</A></em> <h2>AUTHOR</h2> Klaus Foerster (klaus svg.cc), Innsbruck, Austria <p><i>Last changed: $Date: 2007-07-04 14:49:30 +0200 (Wed, 04 Jul 2007) $</i> <HR> <P><a href="index.html">Main index</a> - <a href="vector.html">vector index</a> - <a href="full_index.html">Full index</a></P> <P>© 2003-2008 <a href="http://grass.osgeo.org">GRASS Development Team</a></p> </body> </html>
