Is there a SVG to MetaPost/MetaFun converter available? I want to get this quite simple logo to converted from SVG into a ConTeXt- native vector graphic. Cheers, Matija P.S. Too bad SVG is not ConTeXt-native (yet?) -- gsm: +386 41 849 552 www: http://matija.suklje.name xmpp: matija.suklje@gabbler.org
I just tried using an SVG image directly in MkIV, and it worked like a breeze. Apparently ConTeXt converts the image to PDF on the fly as I found a PDF-file with a similar name (m_k_v_i_<your SVG filename>.pdf) in the same directory as the SVG-file. If you would still love to convert your SVG-images you might want to use Inkscape: inkscape --export-pdf=<PDF filename> <SVG filename> Peter Wüsten Matija Suklje schrieb:

Thanks for the tips :) But actually I'm thinking more in the line of including that logo into my styling directly. So the only solutions would be a) if ConTeXt could use in-line SVG or b) I'll have to port the SVG logo into MetaPost. Is there a non-overhelming howto somewhere ...It's a relatively simple logo (see attachment) :\ Cheers, Matija -- gsm: +386 41 849 552 www: http://matija.suklje.name xmpp: matija.suklje@gabbler.org

I don't know of any "waterproof" way to convert from SVG to metapost (all you can do is to convert it to PDF and use that PDF logo), but here's an approximation of your logo in metapost (the legs are wider - you'll need to fix the details by yourself): \starttext \startMPcode unit := 5cm; dx := 1.2; color maincolor; maincolor = (0,0.9,0); % fixme path p; p := unitsquare scaled unit; fill p withcolor maincolor; fill p shifted ( dx*unit,0) withcolor maincolor; fill p shifted (-dx*unit,0) withcolor maincolor; fill p shifted (0, dx*unit) withcolor maincolor; p := p xscaled ((3-dx)/4) shifted (0,-dx*unit); fill p withcolor maincolor; fill p xyscaled (-1,1) shifted (unit,0) withcolor maincolor; \stopMPcode \stoptext Mojca

Wow, thanks! :D I'll dig through the manuals to figure out what that codeblock actually does and try to fix it. BTW, is there a special command I'm missing to turn on the colours in ConTeXt? Cheers, Matija -- gsm: +386 41 849 552 www: http://matija.suklje.name xmpp: matija.suklje@gabbler.org

Start with http://www.tug.org/docs/metapost/mpman.pdf and maybe the metafun manual. Mojca

The metafun manual is easier to read than the 'real' mpman.pdf which assume some of knowledge metafont. But there is also a beginner's tutorial on metapost: http://www.tug.org/texlive//devsrc/Master/texmf-dist/doc/metapost/base/mpint... Best wishes, Taco
