Scour is a Python tool that takes an SVG file and produces a cleaner and more concise file. It is intended to be used **after** exporting to SVG with a GUI editor, such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
Scour is open-source and licensed under [Apache License 2.0](https://github.com/codedread/scour/blob/master/LICENSE).
Scour was originally developed by Jeff "codedread" Schiller and Louis Simard. Development is [now maintained](https://github.com/codedread/scour/issues/11) by Tobias "oberstet" Oberstein.
This Github repository is the official one. The official website as well as older packages can be found at [www.codedread.com/scour](http://www.codedread.com/scour/).
## Installation
Scour requires [Python](https://www.python.org) 2.7 or 3.3+. Further, for installation, [pip](https://pip.pypa.io) should be used.
To install the [latest release](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/scour) of Scour from PyPI:
```console
pip install scour
```
To install the [latest trunk](https://github.com/codedread/scour) version (which might be broken!) from GitHub:
```console
pip install https://github.com/codedread/scour/archive/master.zip
```
## Usage
Standard:
```console
scour -i input.svg -o output.svg
```
Better (for older versions of Internet Explorer):
```console
scour -i input.svg -o output.svg --enable-viewboxing
```
Maximum scrubbing:
```console
scour -i input.svg -o output.svg --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
--enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none
```
Maximum scrubbing and a compressed SVGZ file:
```console
scour -i input.svg -o output.svgz --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
--enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none
```
