# Scour
|
|
|
|
Scour is a Python module that takes an input SVG and outputs a cleaner,
|
|
more concise SVG file. The goal is that authors will use this script after
|
|
editing the file in a GUI editor such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
|
|
|
|
Scour was started as a vehicle for me to learn Python. In addition, the goal
|
|
is to reduce the amount of time I spend in cleaning up files I find on sites
|
|
such as openclipart.org
|
|
|
|
Ideas are pulled from three places:
|
|
|
|
* my head
|
|
* Sam Ruby's SVG Tidy script: http://intertwingly.net/code/svgtidy/svgtidy.rb
|
|
* Inkscape's proposal for a 'cleaned SVG': http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Save_Cleaned_SVG

|
|
|

Maximum:
|
|
|

--enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none
|
|
|
|
Maximum + Compress:
|
|
