You may use +double hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. You may use +white space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name +from its value. + +.UN description +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +This program is part of +.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c +\&. +.PP +\fBsvgtopam\fP reads an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) image as input and +produces a PAM image as output. +.PP +\fBsvgtopam\fP is so weak that it is probably not useful in general for +converting SVG images. It understands only <path> SVG elements which +use only the "M", "L", and "z" commands, and only those that use whole number +arguments. This is sufficient for converting most of what comes out of +\fBpamtosvg\fP (not by coincidence - the program was developed for the +specific task of testing \fBpamtosvg\fP), but the main reason it is part of +Netpbm is to provide a base for someone to create a full SVG to Netpbm +converter. +.PP +SVG is a vector image format, which means it describes curves that +compose an image. By contrast, PNM is a raster format, which means it +describes dots that compose an image. The main practical difference +between the two types is that you can scale vector images better. A +vector image also takes a lot less data to describe an image if the +image is composed of simple curves. +.PP +That means it is really an understatement to say that \fBsvgtopam\fP +is an image format converter. It's really an image drawer, not unlike +\fBppmdraw\fP. +.PP +For more information on SVG, see +.UR http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/ +the Worldwide Web Consortium's SVG web page +.UE +\&. + + +.UN options +.SH OPTIONS + + + +.TP +\fB-trace\fP +This option makes \fBsvgtopam\fP issue messages describing the drawing. + + + + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "pamtosvg" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pam" (5)\c +\&, + +.UN history +.SH HISTORY +.PP +\fBsvgtopam\fP was added to Netpbm in Version 10.34 (May 2006). +.PP +Bryan Henderson created \fBsvgtopam\fP to test \fBpamtosvg\fP. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
