QGSSVG(1) User commands QGSSVG(1) NAME qgssvg - convert QGIS colour-ramps to SVG gradients. SYNOPSIS qgssvg [-h] [-o path] [-v] [-V] [-2] path DESCRIPTION The qgssvg program converts QGIS colour-ramps to the SVG format. Unlike most of the other file formats handled by the cptutils package, QGIS ramps may contain multiple gradients and all of the input gradients will be con- verted to gradients in the output file. One can then use svgx(1) to extract single gradients and/or convert them to other formats. Atypically, the path to the input QGIS colour ramp is required, but the program will write to stdout if the --output option is not specified. At present, only colour-ramps of type gradient can be converted: version 2 preset ramps will be skipped. 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-write path Write the comments in the input to the specified path. --comments-retain Use the comments in the input file as the comments for the output file. --comments-generate Create a comment with summary data (the date of creation, name and ver- sion of the cptutils package) in the output file. -h, --help Brief help. -o, --output path Write the output to path, rather than stdout. -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 Convert a QGIS colour-ramp, foo.qgs, to a set of GIMP gradients: qgssvg -v -o tmp.svg foo.qgs svggimp -v -a tmp.svg AUTHOR J.J.
