save_svg_as_emf

pyhelpers.store.save_svg_as_emf(path_to_svg, path_to_emf, verbose=False, inkscape_exe=None, **kwargs)

Save a SVG file (.svg) as a EMF file (.emf).

Parameters:

• path_to_svg (str) – The path where the SVG file is located.

• path_to_emf (str) – The path where the EMF file will be saved.

• verbose (bool | int) – Whether to print relevant information to the console; defaults to False.

• inkscape_exe (str | None) – The path to the executable “inkscape.exe”; if inkscape_exe=None (default), the default installation path will be used, e.g. (on Windows) “C:\Program Files\Inkscape\bin\inkscape.exe” or “C:\Program Files\Inkscape\inkscape.exe”.

• kwargs – [Optional] Additional parameters for the function subprocess.run().

Examples:

>>> from pyhelpers.store import save_svg_as_emf
>>> from pyhelpers.dirs import cd
>>> from pyhelpers.settings import mpl_preferences
>>> mpl_preferences(backend='TkAgg')
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> x, y = (1, 1), (2, 2)
>>> fig = plt.figure()
>>> ax = fig.add_subplot()
>>> ax.plot([x[0], y[0]], [x[1], y[1]])
>>> # from pyhelpers.store import save_figure
>>> # save_figure(fig, "docs/source/_images/store-save_fig-demo.pdf", verbose=True)
>>> fig.show()

The above exmaple is illustrated in Figure 12:

Figure 12 An example figure created for the function save_svg_as_emf().

>>> img_dir = cd("tests\images")
>>> path_to_svg = cd(img_dir, "store-save_fig-demo.svg")
>>> fig.savefig(path_to_svg)  # Save the figure as a .svg file
>>> path_to_emf = cd(img_dir, "store-save_fig-demo.emf")
>>> save_svg_as_emf(path_to_svg, path_to_emf, verbose=True)
Saving the .svg file as "tests\images\store-save_fig-demo.emf" ... Done.
>>> plt.close()
