# svg2librepcb

A small program to generate LibrePCB packages from an SVG file, along with an

Inkscape extension.

## Building

You need Rust and Cargo installed. Then run:

    cargo build --release

Then you can find the binary at `target/release/svg2librepcb`.

## CLI Usage

Use `svg2librepcb --help` to view the usage help.

Example:

    svg2librepcb \

        --outpath ~/LibrePCB-Workspace/v0.1/libraries/local/MyLibrary.lplib/ \

        --name MyName \

        --author Danilo \

        logo.svg

This will result in the following files being generated in the output directory:

    cmp/2288621c-6056-4531-90d1-21e9f6f72175/

    ├── component.lp

    └── .librepcb-cmp

    dev/f9207d36-6bc1-41f9-a61c-cf1f9657b8e3/

    ├── device.lp

    └── .librepcb-dev

    pkg/8d92aac5-2fe0-460c-baad-35e9361d5f79/

    ├── .librepcb-pkg

    └── package.lp

    sym/c1fbc16a-a380-4387-aee7-a3facd5f50aa/

    ├── .librepcb-sym

    └── symbol.lp

## SVG Constraints

- Only paths are considered, without transformations or style.

- If you have an object that consists of outer and inner paths (e.g. a donut

  shape), you need to join the inner and outer path.

## Inkscape Extension

You can use this program as an Inkscape extension:

To use it, create a release build and copy the binary and the extension file to

the Inkscape extension directory:

    cargo build --release

    cp target/release/svg2librepcb ~/.config/inkscape/extensions/

    cp inkscape/svg2librepcb.inx ~/.config/inkscape/extensions/

Alternatively, during development, you can also symlink the two files:

    cargo build

    ln -s $(pwd)/target/debug/svg2librepcb ~/.config/inkscape/extensions/

    ln -s $(pwd)/inkscape/svg2librepcb.inx ~/.config/inkscape/extensions/

Then, launch the extension through "Extensions > Export > Export to LibrePCB".
