For the CTAN team
svg – Include and extract SVG pictures in LaTeX documents
This bundle contains the two packages
svg and svg-extract.
The svg package is intended for the automated
integration of SVG graphics into LaTeX documents.
Therefore the capabilities provided by Inkscape
— or more precisely its command line tool —
are used to export the text within an SVG graphic to
a separate file, which is then rendered by LaTeX.
For this purpose the two commands \includesvg
and \includeinkscape are provided which are
very similar to the \includegraphics command
of the graphicx package.
In addition, the package svg-extract allows
the extraction of these graphics into independent files
in different graphic formats, exactly as it is rendered
within the LaTeX document, using either ImageMagick
or Ghostscript.
