svglite 1.0.0
svglite is fully featured svg graphics device that works on all platforms, forked from RSvgDevice. It supports all graphics device features:
- All types of line dashing are supported (#15). All line end and line join
styles are supported (#24). - Text is now coloured, and uses the same default fonts as R (Arial,
Times New Roman, and Courier). Font metrics are computed using the
gdtools package so thatplotmath()
andstrwidth()
now work. - Transparent colours are now generated with
rgba()
rather than using
stroke-opacity
andfill-opacity
styles (#16). NA fills and colours are
translated to "none". par(bg)
affects the background colour (#8).- Rasters are supported by embedding base64-encoded pngs in a data url (#2).
polypath()
is now supported, which also allows theshowtext
package to
render fonts correctly with this device (#36).
We also made a few other tweaks to the rendered SVG:
- Only the
viewBox
attribute of<svg>
is set (notwidth
andheight
):
I'm reasonably certain this makes it easier to use in more places (#12). - Default styling properties are specified in a global
<style>
element:
this reduces overall file size, and should make it easier to re-style
the output for your own needs. - You can now only produce a single page per device - previously this worked
but produced incorrect output (#5). - Output no longer contains dummy
<desc>
element (#4)
And added some helper functions:
xmlSVG()
andhtmlSVG()
make it easier to view generated SVG, either as
raw XML or in RStudio/the browser.editSVG()
opens the SVG in the default SVG viewer/editor.
