canvas2svg VS svgcleaner

Reminds me of https://github.com/gliffy/canvas2svg at a different level of abstraction.

I believe PDF.js incorporated some form canvas2svg to try and get a SVG backend working which would allow high resolution printing to PDF but not sure where that's at. I believe printing through PDF.js is blurry due to memory constraints since with normal canvas pdf pages just end up as bitmaps sent to the printer.

SVG ends up staying vector through Chromiums print pipeline resulting in much less memory usage while having much higher dpi final output. I would imagine this is due to SVG being turned into Skia drawing commands that end up as PDF that then gets printed through PDFium?

I used JavaScript to generate planetary positions and orbit paths as SVG with canvas2svg by following this for the mathematical side https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/planets/approx_pos.html

Canvas2SVG - I have a feeling I'll get to know this library well someday. Apache Batik - I used it quite a bit in the early days but it never took root in my toolchain. SVGJS It offers compelling shortcuts, I'm just a fan of vanilla JS. This also goes for SNAP SVG

I'm not sure, but it seems svgcleaner can remove unused and invisible graphical elements[1]. I don't know if TinyVG preserves them. but if it does, it's not a fair comparison.

Did you try converting svgcleaner processed SVG to a TVG?

oxipng, pngquant and svgcleaner — optimizing images

One of the new features of Godot 4 is svg with embeds like svg, jpg and png. Also if you have svg fonts, you can clean it with https://github.com/RazrFalcon/svgcleaner and it may import.

svgcleaner is designed for standalone SVG files, and will fail on or butcher a significant fraction of inline SVG icons and the likes because it can’t cope with currentColor.

There's also SVG Cleaner which has some compelling benefits over SVGO.

svgcleaner is a CLI (command line) tool which cleans up vector files. Often, vector files will have a lot of extra “stuff” in them that aren’t needed for the presentation side of things, so this helps to reduce the file size. I store both the original vector of the icon, and a cleaned version.
