pixel2svg converts pixel art to SVG - pixel by pixel.
For example, here is an icon from the Tango Icon Set:
If you scale this up for a nice blocky print, you might get a dithered result:
Of course you can turn dithering off. But sometimes you might want a vector file, especially for large prints. For these cases, pixel2svg produces this SVG file (try clicking to find out whether your browser supports SVG):
Here is a screenshot of the SVG in Inkscape:
Nice, pure vector data.
svgwrite svgwrite 1.4.1 documentation
As of 2021 the dev-python/svgwrite ebuild is masked, you need to add:
>=dev-python/svgwrite-1.4.1 ~amd64
to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords
Then install the 2 python libraries with:
emerge dev-python/pillow dev-python/svgwrite dev-python/numpy
usage: pixel2svg.py [-h] [--version] [--overlap] [--squaresize SQUARESIZE]
[--unit {em,ex,cm,mm,Q,in,pc,pt,px}] [--combine]
[--similar SIMILAR]
imagefile
Convert pixel art to SVG
positional arguments:
imagefile The image file to convert
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version Display the program version
--overlap If given, overlap vector squares by 1 unit
--squaresize SQUARESIZE
Width and height of vector squares in pixels, default:
40
--unit {em,ex,cm,mm,Q,in,pc,pt,px}
set SVG unit used with --squaresize, default: px
--combine If given, combine similar pixels into larger
rectangles
--similar SIMILAR Configure a numeric value to find a similar color.
Larger values make the comparison less sensitive.
Running
pixel2svg.py IMAGE.EXT
will process IMAGE.EXT and create IMAGE.svg
EXT can be any format (png, jpg, bmp, gif and many more) that can be read by the Python Imaging Library. See https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/handbook/image-file-formats.html for details.
