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 Regards, Jeff Schiller 2009-04-06 codedread@gmail.com http://blog.codedread.com/
