File: image2svg.php

Page Details:

The class converts images, such as of the format JPEG, PNG and GIF to a standalone SVG representation. The image is being encoded by the PHP native encode_base64() function. You can use it to get back a complete SVG file, which is based on a predefinded, easy adaptable template file, or you can take the encoded file as a return value, using the get() method. Due to the encoding by base64, the SVG files will increase approx. 30% in size compared to the conventional image.

NOTE: Since PHP 4.0.5 GetImageSize() support has been added.

EXAMPLE: $i = &new XML_image2svg("test.jpg"); $i->tplFile = "tpl.image.svg"; $i->show();

The class allows also commandline conversion of images: C:\>php-cli -f Test_image2svg.php > test.svg
