# simple-svg
Easy to use SVG library for C++ (fork)
This library is a single file header-only C++ library for creating SVG files.
Simple-SVG was written to provide an easy API to allow beginners to become more accustomed to C++ by easily creating graphics.
This project creates files that can then be viewed by a sister project [File Monitor](http://code.google.com/p/file-monitor). As you make changes to your SVG document, you will automatically see an updated image in File Monitor.
This is a fork/clone of the original code [here](https://code.google.com/p/simple-svg/).
## Build Instructions
```
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
```
This will create the demo executable `simple_svg` and the test executable `simple_svg_test`, and run the tests.
You can run the demo with:
```
simple_svg
```
to create a demo SVG file, `my_svg.svg`.
You can run the tests with:
```
ctest # brief info on success or failure
```
or with
```
simple_svg_test # detailed info on success or failure
```
to see the details of the tests.
## Code modifications to satisfy `cppcheck`
Running `cppcheck` on the code:
```
cppcheck --enable=style --check-level=exhaustive main_1.0.0.cpp
```
produced errors against the `cppcheck` ruleset.
These errors were fixed by making `explicit` constructors for Dimensions, Point, Layout, Color
and updating code that uses these classes.
## Classes available from the library
```
Color - Serializable
Fill - Serializable
Stroke - Serializable
Font - Serializable
ShapeColl - Shape
Circle - Shape
Elipse - Shape
Rectangle - Shape
Line - Shape
Polygon - Shape
Path - Shape
Polyline - Shape
Text - Shape
LineChart - Shape
Document - Neither
```
A `Document` instance creates a svg file.
You can add any number of Shape instances to the document.
You use the serializable classes to set the properties of the shapes.
## Example usage
See demo code in `main_1.0.0.cpp` for example usage.
