PSPSVG(1) User commands PSPSVG(1) NAME pspsvg - convert PaintShop Pro(R) gradients (jgd, PspGradient) to the SVG format. SYNOPSIS pspsvg [-g geometry] [-h] [-o path] [-p] [-v] [-V] [-2] [path] DESCRIPTION The pspsvg utility converts the gradient files used by PaintShop Pro (which usually have the extension jgd or PspGradient) to the Scalar Vector Graph- ics (SVG) 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. -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. EXAMPLE Create an SVG file from PaintShop Pro: pspsvg -v -o foo.svg foo.jgd NOTES The author could find no public documentation for the PaintShop Pro gradi- ent file format and so reverse-engineered it for the first version of this program. An improved analysis of the format by Olivier Berten was used for the present version. The PaintShop Pro format can be read by Photoshop, but Photoshop's native (grd) gradient format cannot be read by this program. To convert Photoshop gradients, see the pssvg(1) documentation.
