Documentation for the developpement version of svg2lvl


Disclaimer

This version of svg2lvl is not stable and not fully tested, but you can test it anyway. It requires Inkscape functionnalities that will be available in the next version of Inkscape, so to test this svg2lvl version, you have to compile Inkscape from source.

See Inkscape svn to get Inkscape source code and Inkscape developper documentation to compile it.

Svg made with previous version of svg2lvl (0.2.0) are not compatible with this version of svg2lvl.

Required softwares

  • Inkscape (svn version)
  • Python (>= 2.4)
  • Svg2lvl converter and inkscape extension from cvs
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xmoto.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xmoto co -P svg2lvl/

Pre-requesites

You have to install the svg2lvl inkscape extension.

GNU/Linux

We suppose that you have do the checkout into ~/xmoto-cvs/

$ cd ~/xmoto-cvs/svg2lvl/
$ mkdir -p ~/.inkscape/extensions/
$ cp -rf * ~/.inkscape/extensions/

Then, you can launch inkscape.

MacosX

You have to install PyXML. See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX#Enabling_python_effects for an howto.

Then, install svg2lvl the same way as under GNU/Linux.

Windows 95 & 98

Copy all the file from the cvs into the share/extensions/ directory of the inkscape installation. (It will ask if you want to override the inkex.py and bezmisc.py files, answer no)

Then, you can launch inkscape.

Windows 2000 & XP

With the next version of Inkscape, you will be able to put svg2lvl files into the C:\Documents And Settings\<USER>\Applications Data\Inkscape\extensions\ directory, but because of a bug with Inkscape, you have to put the svg2lvl files in the same place that with Windows 95 & 98.

(The bug is not corrected yet in the developpement version of Inkscape)

Then, you can launch inkscape.
