Eduard Braun e1c2699f07 Improve whitespace handling in text content elements 
SVG specifies special logic for handling whitespace, see
   https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/text.html#WhiteSpace
by implementing it we can even shave off some unneeded bytes here
and there (e.g. consecutive spaces).

Unfortunately handling of newlines by renderers is inconsistent:
Sometimes they are replaced by a single space, sometimes they
are removed in the output.
As we can not know the expected behavior work around this by keeping
newlines inside text content elements intact.

Fixes #160.

Scour

PyPI   Build status Codecov

Scour is an SVG optimizer/cleaner that reduces the size of scalable vector graphics by optimizing structure and removing unnecessary data written in Python.

It can be used to create streamlined vector graphics suitable for web deployment, publishing/sharing or further processing.

The goal of Scour is to output a file that renderes identically at a fraction of the size by removing a lot of redundant information created by most SVG editors. Optimization options are typically lossless but can be tweaked for more agressive cleaning.

Scour is open-source and licensed under Apache License 2.0.

Scour was originally developed by Jeff "codedread" Schiller and Louis Simard in in 2010. The project moved to GitLab in 2013 an is now maintained by Tobias "oberstet" Oberstein and Eduard "Ede_123" Braun.

Installation

Scour requires Python 2.7 or 3.4+. Further, for installation, pip should be used.

To install the latest release of Scour from PyPI:

pip install scour

To install the latest trunk version (which might be broken!) from GitHub:

pip install https://github.com/codedread/scour/archive/master.zip

Usage

Standard:

scour -i input.svg -o output.svg

Better (for older versions of Internet Explorer):

scour -i input.svg -o output.svg --enable-viewboxing

Maximum scrubbing:

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:

scour -i input.svg -o output.svgz --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
  --enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none
