     <h1>SVG Pretty Printer</h1>


     <h1>SVG Pretty Printer</h1>
 <p>This page describes the features of the SVG pretty printer utility that comes with the Batik distribution. The SVG pretty printer is a utility that can format SVG files. The tool formats an SVG document according to the arguments passed on the command line.</p>
 <h2 id="downloading">Downloading the pretty printer</h2>
 <p>Refer to the <a href="../install.html">install page</a> and the <a href="/batik/download.html">download page</a> to find out what to download and how to download it. Remember that you can get either the source or binary distribution.</p>
 <h2 id="using">Pretty printing an SVG file</h2>
 <p>The method for starting the pretty-printer depends on the distribution of Batik that you chose to download. The following describes how to run the pretty printer for each distribution.</p>
 <h3 id="using-binary">Using the binary distribution</h3>
 <p>If you downloaded the binary distribution of Batik, you should have a file called <code>batik-1.6.zip</code> (or similar), and, after expanding that file, a jar file called <code>batik-svgpp.jar</code>. To start the pretty printer, open a console, change to the directory where you expanded the distribution (and where <code>batik-svgpp.jar</code> is located) and simply type the following at the command prompt:</p>
 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>java -jar batik-svgpp.jar [OPTIONS] FILES
 </pre></div>


 <p>For example, if you type:</p>
 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>java -jar batik-svgpp.jar samples/batikFX.svg
 </pre></div>


 <p>you will see the indented document written to standard output.</p>
 <p>For the options:</p>
 <p><strong>-newline cr</strong>  <em>|</em>  <strong>cr-lf</strong>  <em>|</em>  <strong>lf</strong>
 :
 specifies the newline character(s) generated in the printed document, the default being <code>lf</code> (Unix-style newlines),</p>
 <p><strong>-tab-width</strong>  <em>number</em>
 :
 specifies the tabulation width, the default being 4,</p>
 <p><strong>-doc-width</strong>  <em>number</em>
 :
 specifies the maximum number of columns for the whole document, the default being 80,</p>
 <p><strong>-no-format</strong>
 :
 specifies that the current indentation should be preserved, useful for performing doctype or newline substitutions,</p>
 <p><strong>-xml-decl</strong>  <em>string</em>
 :
 specifies the XML declaration,</p>
 <p><strong>-doctype change</strong>  <em>|</em>  <strong>remove</strong>
 :
 specifies whether the doctype should be changed or removed,</p>
 <p><strong>-publid-id</strong>  <em>string</em>
 :
 specifies the public ID to in the doctype declaration, when <code>-doctype change</code> is specified, and</p>
 <p><strong>-system-id</strong>  <em>string</em>
 :
 specifies the system ID to in the doctype declaration, when <code>-doctype change</code> is specified.</p>
 <p>For example:</p>
 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>java -jar batik-svgpp.jar -tab-width 2 -newline cr-lf src.svg dest.svg
 </pre></div>


 <p>will format <code>src.svg</code> and write it to <code>dest.svg</code> using a tabulation width of 2 and Windows-style newlines, and:</p>
 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>java -jar batik-svgpp.jar -no-format -doctype change -public-id &quot;-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN&quot; \
      -system-id &quot;http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd&quot; src.svg dest.svg
 </pre></div>


 <p>will format <code>src.svg</code> and write it to <code>dest.svg</code> unchanged, except for the doctype public and system IDs, which will be replaced by those specified.</p>
 <h3 id="using-source">Using the source distribution</h3>
 <p>If you downloaded the source distribution of Batik, you will have a zip or tar file that expanded into a directory called <code>xml-batik</code> or <code>batik-</code><em><code>version</code></em>. In that directory, you can find build scripts for the platform you are running on. For example, there is a <code>build.bat</code> script for users of the Windows platform and there is a <code>build.sh</code> script for UNIX users.</p>
 <p>To start the pretty printer you should:</p>
 <p>-
 Make sure that your <code>JAVA_HOME</code> environment variable is set to your JDK installation directory.</p>
 <p>-
 Open a command line window and go to the <code>xml-batik</code> or <code>batik-</code><em><code>version</code></em> directory where the Batik distribution was expanded.</p>
 <p>-
 For Windows, type the following at the command prompt:</p>
 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>build svgpp
 </pre></div>


 <p>and for Unix:</p>
 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>./build.sh svgpp
 </pre></div>


 <p>This will print out a help message for the pretty printer.</p>
 <p>You can pass options to the rasterizer as follows, for Windows:</p>
 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>build svgpp [OPTIONS] FILES
 </pre></div>


 <p>and for Unix:</p>
 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>./build.sh svgpp [OPTIONS] FILES
 </pre></div>


 <p>Refer to <a href="#using-binary">“Using the binary distribution”</a> for an explanation of these options.</p>

	<h1>SVG Pretty Printer</h1>


	<h1>SVG Pretty Printer</h1>
	<p>This page describes the features of the SVG pretty printer utility that comes with the Batik distribution. The SVG pretty printer is a utility that can format SVG files. The tool formats an SVG document according to the arguments passed on the command line.</p>
	<h2 id="downloading">Downloading the pretty printer</h2>
	<p>Refer to the <a href="../install.html">install page</a> and the <a href="/batik/download.html">download page</a> to find out what to download and how to download it. Remember that you can get either the source or binary distribution.</p>
	<h2 id="using">Pretty printing an SVG file</h2>
	<p>The method for starting the pretty-printer depends on the distribution of Batik that you chose to download. The following describes how to run the pretty printer for each distribution.</p>
	<h3 id="using-binary">Using the binary distribution</h3>
	<p>If you downloaded the binary distribution of Batik, you should have a file called <code>batik-1.6.zip</code> (or similar), and, after expanding that file, a jar file called <code>batik-svgpp.jar</code>. To start the pretty printer, open a console, change to the directory where you expanded the distribution (and where <code>batik-svgpp.jar</code> is located) and simply type the following at the command prompt:</p>
	<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>java -jar batik-svgpp.jar [OPTIONS] FILES
	</pre></div>


	<p>For example, if you type:</p>
	<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>java -jar batik-svgpp.jar samples/batikFX.svg
	</pre></div>


	<p>you will see the indented document written to standard output.</p>
	<p>For the options:</p>
	<p><strong>-newline cr</strong> <em>\|</em> <strong>cr-lf</strong> <em>\|</em> <strong>lf</strong>
	:
	specifies the newline character(s) generated in the printed document, the default being <code>lf</code> (Unix-style newlines),</p>
	<p><strong>-tab-width</strong> <em>number</em>
	:
	specifies the tabulation width, the default being 4,</p>
	<p><strong>-doc-width</strong> <em>number</em>
	:
	specifies the maximum number of columns for the whole document, the default being 80,</p>
	<p><strong>-no-format</strong>
	:
	specifies that the current indentation should be preserved, useful for performing doctype or newline substitutions,</p>
	<p><strong>-xml-decl</strong> <em>string</em>
	:
	specifies the XML declaration,</p>
	<p><strong>-doctype change</strong> <em>\|</em> <strong>remove</strong>
	:
	specifies whether the doctype should be changed or removed,</p>
	<p><strong>-publid-id</strong> <em>string</em>
	:
	specifies the public ID to in the doctype declaration, when <code>-doctype change</code> is specified, and</p>
	<p><strong>-system-id</strong> <em>string</em>
	:
	specifies the system ID to in the doctype declaration, when <code>-doctype change</code> is specified.</p>
	<p>For example:</p>
	<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>java -jar batik-svgpp.jar -tab-width 2 -newline cr-lf src.svg dest.svg
	</pre></div>


	<p>will format <code>src.svg</code> and write it to <code>dest.svg</code> using a tabulation width of 2 and Windows-style newlines, and:</p>
	<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>java -jar batik-svgpp.jar -no-format -doctype change -public-id "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" \
	-system-id "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd" src.svg dest.svg
	</pre></div>


	<p>will format <code>src.svg</code> and write it to <code>dest.svg</code> unchanged, except for the doctype public and system IDs, which will be replaced by those specified.</p>
	<h3 id="using-source">Using the source distribution</h3>
	<p>If you downloaded the source distribution of Batik, you will have a zip or tar file that expanded into a directory called <code>xml-batik</code> or <code>batik-</code><em><code>version</code></em>. In that directory, you can find build scripts for the platform you are running on. For example, there is a <code>build.bat</code> script for users of the Windows platform and there is a <code>build.sh</code> script for UNIX users.</p>
	<p>To start the pretty printer you should:</p>
	<p>-
	Make sure that your <code>JAVA_HOME</code> environment variable is set to your JDK installation directory.</p>
	<p>-
	Open a command line window and go to the <code>xml-batik</code> or <code>batik-</code><em><code>version</code></em> directory where the Batik distribution was expanded.</p>
	<p>-
	For Windows, type the following at the command prompt:</p>
	<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>build svgpp
	</pre></div>


	<p>and for Unix:</p>
	<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>./build.sh svgpp
	</pre></div>


	<p>This will print out a help message for the pretty printer.</p>
	<p>You can pass options to the rasterizer as follows, for Windows:</p>
	<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>build svgpp [OPTIONS] FILES
	</pre></div>


	<p>and for Unix:</p>
	<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>./build.sh svgpp [OPTIONS] FILES
	</pre></div>


	<p>Refer to <a href="#using-binary">“Using the binary distribution”</a> for an explanation of these options.</p>
