## DESCRIPTION

v.out.svg converts GRASS vector data to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) code notation. In particular, it

- converts GRASS line, boundary, area, point, centroid objects to SVG <path />, <circle /> elements,
- reduces coordinate precision in SVG-output to save bandwidth,
- extracts GRASS attributes to gg:name="value" attributes.

The precision parameter controls the number of decimals for coordinates output (precision=0 corresponds to integer precision in the output SVG file).

## EXAMPLE

Export polygons from GRASS vector map soils (Spearfish sample data) to SVG format:

    v.out.svg input=soils output=/tmp/output.svg type=poly

Export lines from GRASS vector map t_hydro (Spearfish sample data) to SVG format, set coordinate precision to 0:

    v.out.svg input=t_hydro output=/tmp/output.svg type=line precision=0

Export points from GRASS vector map archsites (Spearfish sample data) to SVG format, include attribute str1 (name):

    v.out.svg input=archsites output=/tmp/output.svg type=point precision=0 attrib=str1
