\&\s-1SVG\s0 is a 100% Perl module which generates a nested data structure containing the
\&\s-1DOM\s0 representation of an \s-1SVG\s0 (Scalable Vector Graphics) image. Using \s-1SVG\s0, you
can generate \s-1SVG\s0 objects, embed other \s-1SVG\s0 instances into it, access the \s-1DOM\s0
object, create and access javascript, and generate \s-1SMIL\s0 animation content.
.Sh "General Steps to generating an \s-1SVG\s0 document"
.IX Subsection "General Steps to generating an SVG document"
Generating \s-1SVG\s0 is a simple three step process:
.ie n .IP "1 The first step is to construct a new \s-1SVG\s0 object with ""new""." 4
.el .IP "1 The first step is to construct a new \s-1SVG\s0 object with ``new''." 4
.IX Item "1 The first step is to construct a new SVG object with new."
.ie n .IP "2 The second step is to call element constructors to create \s-1SVG\s0 elements. Examples of element constructors are ""circle"" and ""path""." 4
.el .IP "2 The second step is to call element constructors to create \s-1SVG\s0 elements. Examples of element constructors are ``circle'' and ``path''." 4
.IX Item "2 The second step is to call element constructors to create SVG elements. Examples of element constructors are circle and path."
.ie n .IP "3 The third and last step is to render the \s-1SVG\s0 object into \s-1XML\s0 using the ""xmlify"" method." 4
.el .IP "3 The third and last step is to render the \s-1SVG\s0 object into \s-1XML\s0 using the ``xmlify'' method." 4
.IX Item "3 The third and last step is to render the SVG object into XML using the xmlify method."
The \*(L"xmlify\*(R" method takes a number of optional arguments that control how \s-1SVG\s0
renders the object into \s-1XML\s0, and in particular determine whether a stand-alone
\&\s-1SVG\s0 document or an inline \s-1SVG\s0 document fragment is generated:
A complete \s-1SVG\s0 document with its own associated \s-1DTD\s0. A namespace for the \s-1SVG\s0
elements may be optionally specified.
An in-line \s-1SVG\s0 document fragment with no \s-1DTD\s0 that be embedded within other \s-1XML\s0
content. As with stand-alone documents, an alternate namespace may be specified.
No \s-1XML\s0 content is generated until the third step is reached. Up until this
point, all constructed element definitions reside in a DOM-like data structure
from which they can be accessed and modified.
None. However, \s-1SVG\s0 permits both options and additional element methods to be
specified in the import list. These options and elements are then available
for all \s-1SVG\s0 instances that are created with the \*(L"new\*(R" constructor. For example,
to change the indent string to two spaces per level:
\& use SVG qw(-indent => " ");
With the exception of \-auto, all options may also be specified to the \*(L"new\*(R"
constructor. The currently supported options are:
\& -auto enable autoloading of all unrecognised method calls (0)
\& -indent the indent to use when rendering the SVG into XML ("\et")
\& -inline whether the SVG is to be standalone or inlined (0)
\& -printerror print SVG generation errors to standard error (1)
\& -raiseerror die if a generation error is encountered (1)
\& -nostub only return the handle to a blank SVG document without any elements
\&\s-1SVG\s0 also allows additional element generation methods to be specified in the
import list. For example to generate 'star' and 'planet' element methods:
\& use SVG qw(star planet);
\& use SVG ("star","planet");
This will add 'star' to the list of elements supported by \s-1SVG\s0.pm (but not of
course other \s-1SVG\s0 parsers...). Alternatively the '\-auto' option will allow
any unknown method call to generate an element of the same name:
\& use SVG (-auto => 1, "star", "planet");
Any elements specified explicitly (as 'star' and 'planet' are here) are
predeclared; other elements are defined as and when they are seen by Perl. Note
that enabling '\-auto' effectively disables compile-time syntax checking for
\& "star", "planet", "moon"

.SH "WINDOWS DISTRIBUTION"
.IX Header "WINDOWS DISTRIBUTION"
\&\s-1SVG\s0 provides both explicit and generic element constructor methods. Explicit
generators are generally (with a few exceptions) named for the element they
generate. If a tag method is required for a tag containing hyphens, the method
name replaces the hyphen with an underscore. ie: to generate tag <column\-heading id=\*(L"new\*(R">
you would use method \f(CW$svg\fR\->column_heading(id=>'new').
All element constructors take a hash of element attributes and options;
element attributes such as 'id' or 'border' are passed by name, while options for the
method (such as the type of an element that supports multiple alternate forms)
are passed preceded by a hyphen, e.g '\-type'. Both types may be freely
intermixed; see the \*(L"fe\*(R" method and code examples througout the documentation
.IX Subsection "new (constructor)"
$svg = \s-1SVG\-\s0>new(%attributes)
Creates a new \s-1SVG\s0 object. Attributes of the document \s-1SVG\s0 element be passed as
an optional list of key value pairs. Additionally, \s-1SVG\s0 options (prefixed with
a hyphen) may be set on a per object basis:
\& my $svg2=new SVG(id => 'document_element');
\& -docroot => 'svg', #default document root element (SVG specification assumes svg). Defaults to 'svg' if undefined
\& -sysid => 'abc', #optional system identifyer
\& -pubid => "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN", #public identifyer default value is "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN" if undefined
\& -namespace => 'mysvg',
\& id => 'document_element',
Default \s-1SVG\s0 options may also be set in the import list. See \*(L"\s-1EXPORTS\s0\*(R" above
for more on the available options.
Furthermore, the following options:
\& -namespace Defines the document or element level namespace. The order of assignment priority is element,document .
may also be set in xmlify, overriding any corresponding values set in the \s-1SVG\-\s0>new declaration
