It converts DVI and EPS files to + the XML-based scalable vector graphics format SVG. + + +DEPENDENCIES + + dvisvgm relies on the following free libraries: + * Clipper (http://www.angusj.com/delphi/clipper.php) + To compute the intersections of two curved paths, dvisvgm flattens the paths + to polygons, intersects them using Clipper, and reconstructs the curves + afterwards. + + * FreeType 2 (http://www.freetype.org) + This library is used to extract the glyph outlines from vector fonts + (PFB, OTF, TTF). + + * Ghostscript (http://www.ghostscript.com) + The PostScript special handler requires the Ghostscript library + libgs.so (Linux) or gsdll32.dll/gsdll64.dll (Windows) to be installed. + If the configure script finds the corresponding Ghostscript development + files on the system, it directly links against libgs.so.N, where N is the + library's ABI version. Otherwise, the library is looked up at runtime, + and PostScript support is enabled only if libgs.so can be found. Due to + incompatible changes of the Ghostscript API, dvisvgm requires Ghostscript 8.31 + or later. + + * kpathsea (https://tug.org/kpathsea) + This library is part of the Web2C package and is usually installed in + conjunction with a TeX distribution. kpathsea provides functions for + searching files in the large texmf tree. Please ensure that you use the + kpathsea version coming with or matching your TeX system. + + * potracelib (http://potrace.sourceforge.net) + Peter Selinger's bitmap tracing library is utilized to vectorize Metafont's + bitmap output. + + * xxHash (https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash) + The xxHash library provides a fast hash algorithm. dvisvgm uses it to + create unique integer values from PostScript character names in order to + store them in a compact way together with their Unicode points. A recent + version of xxHash is bundled with the dvisvgm sources. + + * zlib (http://www.zlib.org) + Compressed SVG files are produced by using functions of this library and the + Gzstream wrapper classes (http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/compgeom/gzstream) + which are licensed under LGPL version 2.1 (or optionally any later version) + and should be included with this package. + + If you want to build and run the test suite located in the tests subdirectory, + you also need the Google Test libraries (https://github.com/google/googletest). + + +COMPILATION + + Quick installation info: + * type "./configure" + * type "make" + * type "make install" as root (or "sudo make install") + + For generic configuration instructions see the file INSTALL. + + The configure script should recognize all necessary parameters. + If a library is installed but not detected, specify its location + as commandline parameter of configure, e.g. + ./configure --with-freetype=/usr/local/freetype + (all available options can be displayed with ./configure --help) + + The tracer module calls Metafont in case of lacking TFM or PFB files + via a system call. Please ensure that Metafont is installed and + reachable through the search path. + + If you don't like compiling the sources yourself, you can + download pre-compiled executables for Windows and MiKTeX + from the project website instead (see below). + + +USAGE + Information about the command-line interface and the available options can be + found in the manual page. + + +ADDITIONAL INFORMATION + This package is available from CTAN (dviware/dvisvgm) and can be downloaded + from the project website as well: + + http://dvisvgm.bplaced.net + + Here you can find the sources, pre-compiled binaries and further additional + information about the converter and related topics. + + If you've found a bug, please let me know. You can either send me an email or + preferably use the bug tracker at GitHub (https://github.com/mgieseki/dvisvgm). + + +COPYRIGHT + + Copyright (C) 2005-2015 Martin Gieseking <martin.gieseking@uos.de> + + This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it + under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the + Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your + option) any later version. + + This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but + WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
