Inkscape SIF exporter extension

The Inkscape extension converts SVG files to Synfig Studio (.sif) format and it is a recommended way.

Since Inkscape 0.91 the extension is shipped with the official Inkscape installation and can be found from - "<File> → <Save as> → Animation synfig (.sif)".

If you want to manually install it, you can found it at Scripts & Tools download section.

Usage

svg2sif adds a "Synfig Animation (*.sif)" option to Inkscape's "Save As" dialog.

I you want to group objects, put all the objects to group on their own layer in inkscape. This way, they end up in a Group Layer once in the sif format.

If your SVG document contains clones or non-paths (text, rectangles, etc.) the extension will quickly open another Inkscape window to convert these elements to paths. This may take a while. The file is not saved until the status bar reads "Document Saved."

If you save frequently, you can speed up the process by selecting "<Extensions> → Synfig → Prepare for Export" from the Inkscape menu. This will convert everything in the current document to paths (but may make it harder to edit).

Import SVG directly in Synfig Studio

Since version 0.91 of Inkscape (linux and windows) it is unnecessary to use additional extension, Inkscape includes the registration under the extension SIF .

From previous Synfig versions there is an option to import SVG from "<File> → Import" menu. This seems to work better than the options described below, however there may be problems importing some SVG elements correctly. See this topic in forums for some hints.

  • First import may fail, try to import same file for two times.
  • 0.62.02 is reported to work better in Ubuntu than version 0.63.00.

Other options

The following are outdated options or special options for experts.

Option 1

This uses an XSLT 2.0 stylesheet to transform SVG XML to Synfig XML.

Objective

Turn an SVG image into a Synfig file for import. First posted in the forums: http://synfig.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=30

Prerequisites

  1. Make sure a Java runtime environment is installed.
  2. Get a recent version of the SAXON XSLT processor for Java from http://saxon.sourceforge.net/. Recommended version: Saxon-SA 9.0 (saxonsa9-0-0-2j.zip).
  3. Extract the SAXON package to a folder of your choice. As an example we're going to use d:\saxon in the following. The folder will contain several JAR files.
  4. Create the file d:\saxon\svg2synfig.xsl with the content provided at the bottom of this document ([[#svg2synfig.xsl|]]).

Optional Prerequites for Windows

If you don't want to use the command line, create a batch file d:\saxon\svg2synfig.bat with this content:

@java -jar %0\..\saxon9.jar -xsl:%0\..\svg2synfig.xsl %1 > %0\..\synfig.sif
@pause

Transforming an SVG into a Synfig File

Windows Batch File

  1. Just drop the SVG file onto svg2synfig.bat.

Command line

  1. Change directory to d:\saxon.
  2. Enter the following command (replace your_input.svg by the path of the SVG file):
java -jar saxon9.jar -xsl:svg2synfig.xsl your_input.svg > synfig.sif

Result

If the conversion has been successful, the result will be written to the file d:\saxon\synfig.sif. You can open this file in Synfig.

Limitations

  • Doesn't seem to work with SaxonB (FOSS version)
  • Compressed SVG (svgz) must be uncompressed first.
  • Only SVG path objects are supported. Try converting all objects to paths.
  • Only a subset of path elements is supported. Try to modify all path nodes to have split tangents, and all path segments to be curves.
  • Sophisticated coloring (e. g. gradients) is not supported.
  • Only basic transformations are supported.
  • Fill and outline on the same object is not supported.

Option 2

This is a C program by akagogo that uses libxml to convert SVG to Synfig format.

http://none.carlos.googlepages.com/svgtosif.zip

Installation

Just make the usual ./configure && make && sudo make install

Usage

The SVG files needs to be inside a folder called data. You have to run the command from the parent directory, but just using the name file as the command argument. So if:

  • You are in folder "/example" you have to create a folder called "/example/data" and put the file "file.svg" there.
  • Now you execute svgtosif file.svg when you got "/example" as your current working directory.

As you can see, this is really not to friendly. To quickly fix the problem, use the following bash script:

#!/bin/bash
mkdir data
cp "$1" data/
/usr/local/bin/svgtosif "$1"
NAME=`echo "$1" | cut -d "." -f 1`
cp "data/$NAME.sif" .
rm data/*
rmdir data
echo "Conversion complete!"

Put those lines in a file named "svg2sif" (name it as you want, but avoid using "svgtosif") and put it in a PATH directory (suggest /usr/bin). Then:

chmod +x /usr/bin/svg2sif 

Thats all. Now use:

svg2sif <file.svg>

and you will get a .sif file in the same folder you are working in.
