save_svg_as_emf

pyhelpers.store.save_svg_as_emf(path_to_svg, path_to_emf, inkscape_exe=None, verbose=False, raise_error=False, print_kwargs=None)

Saves a SVG file (.svg) as a EMF file (.emf) using Inkscape.

Parameters:

• path_to_svg (str | os.PathLike) – The path to the source SVG file.

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

• inkscape_exe (str | None) – The path to the Inkscape executable. If inkscape_exe=None (default), uses the standard installation path.

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

• raise_error (bool) – Whether to raise FileNotFoundError if the Inkscape executable is not found; defaults to False.

• print_kwargs (dict | None) – [Optional] Additional parameters passed to pyhelpers.store._check_saving_path(); defaults to None.

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 example is illustrated in Figure 9:

Figure 9 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 "store-save_fig-demo.emf" to "./tests/images/" ... Done.
>>> plt.close()
