Parse an existing SVG? about rough HOT 6 CLOSED

I guess the question is: PRs welcome?

from rough.

Slight snarly regex's to get...

fills: /<path (?:.+)fill="([^"]+)"(?:.+)\/>/gi
path data = /<path (?:.+)d="([^"]+)"(?:.+)\/>/gi

PRs always welcome. I am planning out the next release with more advanced native SVG support -> i.e. create sketchy SVG nodes rather than draw on canvas.
But, what you're proposing is also good for the current Canvas version. I'd hate to duplicate code and would like keep the API future compatible.
So, if you have a PR, I can include it in the next release.

Btw, SVGs are just DOM. You may be able to use DOM parsing rather than regex to parse not just paths but other SVG primitives as well.

True, I was thinking Node... but it wouldn't have a canvas at that point anyhow either. So I may as well just use DOMParser.

Rough.js now supports SVG rendering #49
Thought that is not part of this issue directly, I think parsing for files can be build on top as @sbrugman suggested.
