EasySVG for PHP

Generate SVG images from SVG font easily.

The SVG data produced here is directly extracted from the font .svg file. This does not use the <text> tag.

Usage

require 'easySVG.php';
$svg = new EasySVG();
$svg->setFont("paris-bold-webfont.svg", 100, "#000000");
$svg->addText("Simple text display");
$svg->addAttribute("width", "800px");
$svg->addAttribute("height", "100px");
echo $svg->asXML();

This will output inline SVG for you to play with. You can echo it, save it to a file or whatever.

Method reference

setFont($path, $size, $color)

Sets the font attributes. This is a shortcut for :

$this->setFontSVG($path);
$this->setFontSize($size);
$this->setFontColor($color);

These 3 methods are explicit enough, I won't go through these in here.

addText($text, $x, $y, $attributes=array())

Add text to the SVG (will be converted to simple path)

  • $text : String UTF-8 encoded
  • $x : X position of the text (starting from left)
  • $y : Y position of the text (starting from top)
  • $attributes (optional) : list of tag attributes

asXML()

Return XML string of the whole SVG.

addAttribute($key, $value)

Add an attribute to the main SVG.

SVG data manipulation methods

You may need these to play around with SVG definitions.

defTranslate($def, $x=0, $y=0)

Applies a translate transformation to a definition. This basically applies matrix calculation to a definition.

defRotate($def, $angle, $x=0, $y=0)

Applies a translate transformation to definition. This basically applies matrix calculation to a definition.

defScale($def, $x=1, $y=1)

Applies a scale transformation to definition. This basically applies matrix calculation to a definition.

textDef($text)

Returns a SVG-formatted definition of a string. This method is used by addText method.

  • $text : String UTF-8 encoded

textDimensions($text)

Returns the width and height of a string. This method is also used to set the width/height of the SVG (if none specified).

  • $text : String UTF-8 encoded

unicodeDef($code)

Returns a SVG-formatted definition of an unicode character.

  • $code : Unicode definition (in hex format)

characterWidth($char, $is_unicode=false)

Returns the width of a character.

  • $char : Character
  • $is_unicode : Boolean that tells if the character is a unicode string or a UTF-8 character.

addPath($def, $attributes=array())

Add a path to the SVG data

  • $def : SVG definition
  • $attributes (optional) : list of tag attributes

Utility methods

clearSVG()

Resets the SVG data. Used to start a new SVG without creating a new instance.

defApplyMatrix($def, $matrix)

Apply a matrix to a definition. Used to apply any kind of transformations, you shouldn't need this, but it is available so you may play with it.
