I am developing a robotic controlled drawing system and currently are looking for some input regarding the extraction of plain coordinates out of exisitng SVG-files. My question is very similar to this one, which did not get much feedback so far.

-> Is there some simple/established/prebuild way to extract point-coordinates out of existing SVG files within python ?

From my (limited) understanding, existing SVG libraries for python like svg.path and pysvg do not seem to include a function for extracting all points out of an existing file (as they seem to be build more towards writing SVG rather than reading SVG..)

thanks for answers.

  • SVG is XML, use an XML parser. – Robert Longson Feb 17 '16 at 21:56
  • Thanks for your reply, it made me rethink my question. I understand that SVG is basically XML. What I would like to avoid having to code myself (as I am far from being a professional programmer) is: 1) some function to get ALL Point Coordinates out of my SVG file aoutmatically in one simple list of X/Y coordinates 2) functionality to approximate line points of round shapes (like circles, ellipses and beziers which are defined by radius etc.) – Florian80333 Feb 17 '16 at 22:25
  • Probably not the best site for you then, since this is for programming questions. – Robert Longson Feb 17 '16 at 22:30
