GIMPSVG(1) User commands GIMPSVG(1) NAME gimpsvg - convert a GIMP gradient (ggr) to the SVG format. SYNOPSIS gimpsvg [-g geometry] [-h] [-o path] [-p] [-s samples] [-v] [-V] [-2] [path] DESCRIPTION The gimpsvg utility converts gradient files from the GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, to the SVG (scalar vector graphics) format. The program will read from stdin if a file is not specified as the final argument, and write to stdout if the --output option is not specified. OPTIONS --backtrace-file path Specify a file to which to write a formatted backtrace. The file will only be created if there is a backtrace created, typically when an er- ror occurs. --backtrace-format format Specify the format of the backtrace written to the files specified by --backtrace-file, one of plain, xml or json. --comments-read path Read the comments from the specified path and add them to the output gradient. The format is custom XML which should be fairly easy to generate, see the output of --comments-write for examples. --comments-generate Create a comment with summary data (the date of creation, name and ver- sion of the cptutils package) in the output file. -g, --geometry widthxheight Specify the size of the SVG preview in pixels. -h, --help Brief help. -o, --output path Write the output to path, rather than stdout. -p, --preview Include a preview in the SVG output. See also the --geometry option. -s, --samples number Specify the maximum number of samples. GIMP gradients allow for complex curves in a number of colour-space coordinate systems. In order that these can be converted into SVG's simple RGB linear splines we must sample these complex curves quite densely. The --samples option speci- fies (roughly) the maximum number of samples. In the case that the GIMP gradient is an RGB linear spline gradient the option has no effect, since we can then convert the segments without loss. -v, --verbose Verbose operation. -V, --version Version information. -2, --svg2 SVG output is version 2.0 of the format. Note that version 2.0 is not yet completed and browser support is minimal. AUTHOR J.J. Green SEE ALSO svgx(1). cptutils 1.85 30 September 2025 GIMPSVG(1)
