The [`convertTree()`](https://docs.thi.ng/umbrella/hiccup-svg/functions/convertTree.html) function takes a pre-normalized hiccup tree of geom/hiccup-canvas shape definitions and recursively converts it into an hiccup flavor which is ready for SVG serialization (i.e. using stringified geometry attribs). This conversion also involves translation & re-organization of various attributes. This function returns a new tree. The original remains untouched, as will any unrecognized tree / shape nodes (those will be transferred as-is to the result tree). Conversion can be explicitly disabled for individual elements (tree branches) by setting the `__convert: false` control attribute. See example below. Tree conversion can be implicitly triggered by providing a `__convert: true` attribute to the root `svg()` element. This conversion also supports the `__prec` control attribute which can be used (on a per-shape basis) to control the formatting used for various floating point values (except color conversions). Child shapes (of a group) inherit the precision setting of their parent. ```ts import { svg } from "@thi.ng/hiccup-svg"; // create SVG root element and convert body svg( { width: 100, height: 100, __convert: true, __prec: 3 }, ["rect", { fill: [1, 0, 0] }, [1.2345, -1.2345], 100, 100] ) // [ // 'svg', // { // version: '1.1', // xmlns: 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', // 'xmlns:xlink': 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink', // width: 100, // height: 100 // }, // ['rect', { fill: '#ff0000', x: '1.234', y: '-1.234', width: '100', height: '100' }] // ] ``` ### Automatic attribute conversions #### Colors Since v3.1.0: Color conversions are only applied to `fill` and `stroke` attributes and color stops provided to `linearGradient()`, `radialGradient()` ##### String String color attribs prefixed with `$` are replaced with `url(#...)` refs (e.g. to refer to gradients), else used as is (untransformed) ##### Number Interpreted as ARGB hex value: `{ fill: 0xffaabbcc }` => `{ fill: "#aabbcc" }` ##### Array Interpreted as float RGB(A): `{ fill: [1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4] }` => `{ fill: "rgba(255,204,153,0.40)" }` ##### [@thi.ng/color](https://codeberg.org/thi.ng/umbrella/src/branch/develop/packages/color) values Converted to CSS color strings: `{ fill: hcya(0.1666, 1, 0.8859) }` => `{ fill: "#ffff00" }` #### Transforms (i.e. `transform`, `rotate`, `scale`, `translate`) If an element has a `transform` attrib, conversion of the other transformation attribs will be skipped, else the values are assumed to be either strings or: - `transform`: 6-element numeric array ([2x3 matrix in column major order](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/transform#Matrix)) - `translate`: 2-element array - `rotate`: number (angle in radians) - `scale`: number (uniform scale) or 2-elem array If no `transform`, but others are given, the resulting transformation order will always be TRS. Any string values will be used as-is and therefore need to be complete, e.g. `{ rotate: "rotate(60)" }` ## Status **STABLE** - used in production [Search or submit any issues for this

docs](https://docs.thi.ng/umbrella/hiccup-svg/) ```ts import * as svg from "@thi.ng/hiccup-svg"; import { serialize } from "@thi.ng/hiccup"; import * as fs "node:fs"; fs.writeFileSync( "hello.svg", serialize( svg.svg( { width: 100, height: 100 }, svg.defs(svg.linearGradient("grad", [0, 0], [0, 1], [[0, "red"], [1, "blue"]])), svg.circle([50, 50], 50, { fill: "url(#grad)" }), svg.text([50, 55], "Hello", { fill: "white", "text-anchor": "middle" }) ) )); ``` Minimal example showing SVG conversion of a hiccup-canvas scene (also see [@thi.ng/geom](https://codeberg.org/thi.ng/umbrella/src/branch/develop/packages/geom) for another compatible approach): ```ts import { svg } from "@thi.ng/hiccup-svg"; import { serialize } from "@thi.ng/hiccup"; import { writeFileSync } from "node:fs"; // scene tree defined for hiccup-canvas const scene = [ ["defs", {}, ["radialGradient", { id: "bg", from: [150, 280], to: [150, 300], r1: 300, r2: 100 }, [[0, "#07f"], [0.5, "#0ef"], [0.8, "#efe"], [1, "#af0"]]], ["radialGradient", { id: "sun", from: [110, 120], to: [110, 120], r1: 5, r2: 50 }, [[0, "#fff"], [1, "rgba(255,255,192,0)"]]] ], ["circle", { fill: "$bg" }, [150, 150], 130], ["circle", { fill: "$sun" }, [110, 120], 50], ]; writeFileSync( "radialgradient.svg", serialize( svg({ width: 300, height: 300, __convert: true }, scene) ) ); ``` Result: ```xml <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="300" height="300"> <defs> <radialGradient id="bg" fx="150.00"
