Scour - An SVG Optimizer / Cleaner
c698522c28
* The separate treatment of comments at the documentElement's level is not necessary - they have a parent (as tested in Python 3.5.0 and 2.7.11 and 2.6.6)! It might not have worked before due to a typo - note the "if isinstance(element,...)" and "len(element.data)" which should both refer to "subelement" instead - or a bug in very old versions of Python). * Fix the iteration over childNodes (i.e. replace "for subelement in element.childNodes:" with ""for subelement in element.childNodes[:]:". We have to create a copy of the list to iterate over, otherwise we'd be iterating over a list as we change it which leads to unpredictable results. Fixes #25 |

Scour
Scour is a Python module that takes an input SVG and outputs a cleaner, more concise SVG file. The goal is that authors will use this script after editing the file in a GUI editor such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
Scour was started as a vehicle for me to learn Python. In addition, the goal is to reduce the amount of time I spend in cleaning up files I find on sites such as openclipart.org
Ideas are pulled from three places:
- my head
- Sam Ruby's SVG Tidy script: http://intertwingly.net/code/svgtidy/svgtidy.rb
- Inkscape's proposal for a 'cleaned SVG': http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Save_Cleaned_SVG

Usage
Standard:
scour -i mysvg.svg -o mysvg_opt.svg
Better (this works in IE which needs Viewbox):
scour -i mysvg.svg -o mysvg_opt.svg --enable-viewboxing
Maximum:
scour -i mysvg.svg -o mysvg_opt.svg --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
--enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none
Maximum + Compress:
scour -i mysvg.svg -o mysvg_opt.svgz --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
--enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none
