support for printing to SVG files (4.52 KB, patch)

Description Luke Hutchison 2006-09-25 18:03:11 UTC 
It would be very helpful (now that cairo supports SVG output) for GtkPrintOperation to support printing to an SVG file as well as PDF and PS.  This would allow any print output to be loaded into Inkscape or similar for postprocessing.  (Inkscape doesn't support PDF import yet.)

Regular SVG only supports single-page figures, so the output of a multipage printjob would have to be either an archive of SVG files, or an SVGPrint document (multipage SVG).
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2009-05-23 05:02:59 UTC 
The cairo svg surface can do multi-page nowadays, so this would make some more sense.

support for printing to SVG files

Hi,

this patch adds support for printing to SVG files. Generated SVGs are of version 1.2 to be able to print multiple pages.
