Scour - An SVG Optimizer / Cleaner
Find a file
Niels Thykier c42dc6b793 Support multiple input files with -o being a directory
This change makes it possible for scour to consume multiple input
files in one command invocation.  E.g.

     $ scour file1.svg file2.svgz ... output-directory
     # xargs friendly variant
     $ scour -o output-directory file1.svg file2.svgz ...

This avoids most of the "startup" overhead in python and scour when
many files are being processed.  On about a 100 of (already scour'ed)
gnuplot svg graphs, this change provides an almost 40% speed up compared
to a shell alternative:

     # Original shell pipeline (~29s)
     # Note; for bash, rewriting this without the "basename"-call does
     # not seem to improve performance considerably.
     $ for FILE in input/[01]* ; do \
         python3 -m scour.scour "$FILE" output/"$(basename "$FILE")" > /dev/null ; \
       done
    # With this patch (~16s)
    $ python3 -m scour.scour input/[01]* output > /dev/null

Scour

PyPI Build status Codecov


Scour is an SVG optimizer/cleaner that reduces the size of scalable vector graphics by optimizing structure and removing unnecessary data written in Python.

It can be used to create streamlined vector graphics suitable for web deployment, publishing/sharing or further processing.

The goal of Scour is to output a file that renderes identically at a fraction of the size by removing a lot of redundant information created by most SVG editors. Optimization options are typically lossless but can be tweaked for more agressive cleaning.

Scour is open-source and licensed under Apache License 2.0.

Scour was originally developed by Jeff "codedread" Schiller and Louis Simard in in 2010. The project moved to GitLab in 2013 an is now maintained by Tobias "oberstet" Oberstein and Eduard "Ede_123" Braun.

Installation

Scour requires Python 2.7 or 3.3+. Further, for installation, pip should be used.

To install the latest release of Scour from PyPI:

pip install scour

To install the latest trunk version (which might be broken!) from GitHub:

pip install https://github.com/codedread/scour/archive/master.zip

Usage

Standard:

scour -i input.svg -o output.svg

Better (for older versions of Internet Explorer):

scour -i input.svg -o output.svg --enable-viewboxing

Maximum scrubbing:

scour -i input.svg -o output.svg --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
  --enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none

Maximum scrubbing and a compressed SVGZ file:

scour -i input.svg -o output.svgz --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
  --enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none
