SVG-to-WKT.js

SVG-to-WKT converts SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) into WKT (Well-Known Text), a markup language for representing vector geometry on maps implemented by spatially-enabled databases like PostGIS and MySQL.

SVG-to-WKT supports all SVG elements that directly encode geometric data: <circle>, <ellipse>, <line>, <path>, <polygon>, <polyline>, and <rect>. SVG styles are ignored, since WKT has no notion of presentation, only shape.
SVG paths are converted to frozen WKT polygons using the browser's getPointAtLength method on <path> elements. Curves are interpolated at a customizable density level and written as a series of fixed points.
Point coordinates are reflected over the Y-axis so that geometries created in standard documents (where the Y-axis increases "down") keep the same orientation when rendered against the spatial grid (where the Y-axis increases "up").

Quick Example

SVGtoWKT.convert('<svg><polygon points="1,2 3,4 5,6" /><line x1="7" y1="8" x2="9" y2="10" /></svg>');
>>> "GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POLYGON((1 -2,3 -4,5 -6,1 -2)),LINESTRING(7 -8,9 -10))"

In the Browser

SVG-to-WKT uses jQuery (for XML parsing) and lodash (for sanity).

### SVGtoWKT.path(d, density)

Constructs a WKT POLYGON element from a SVG path string. If the path has "holes" - closed paths inside of closed paths (eg, letters) - they are translated to the WKT subtracted-polygon syntax (POLYGON((outerX1 outerY1,...),(innerX1 innerY1,...))).

Arguments

{Number} d - A SVG path string, usually from the d attribute on a <path> element.
{Number} density (optional, defaults to 1) - The number of POLYGON points that should be rendered per unit of linear pixel length. Higher density results in more points, higher resolution.

Returns

{String} wkt - A WKT POLYGON.

SVGtoWKT.circle(0, 0, 1);
>>> "POLYGON((1 0,0.5 -0.87,-0.5 -0.87,-1 0,-0.5 0.87,0.5 0.87,1 0))"

// With 5 decimal places:
SVGtoWKT.PRECISION = 5;

The value used to determine the number of points to interpolate per linear pixel of path distance while converting <circle>, <ellipse>, and <path> elements. The default value is 1.

Arguments

{Number} density - The number of points per linear pixel of distance.

Example

// 1 point per pixel.
