This SVG can't be parsed about manim HOT 7 CLOSED

I think it is expecting a specific SVG format or something like that, because i've also had errors when saving svgs with Inkscape.

Before it is fixed, one temporal fix is to use cairosvg. First install it with pip, then run

cairosvg RC.svg -o RCnew.svg

and the RCnew.svg file should work as expected.

One reason why this SVG isn't being displayed properly is because it uses <line> for pretty much everything, and Manim doesn't currently support that SVG element.

@yoshiask how hard is it to have manim support <line>?

@leotrs Pull request #108 already adds support for <line>, but the parser has other issues too

from manim.

Can the original offending SVG be parsed now that is supported?

from manim.

It's closer, but the parser doesn't put shapes in the correct location. A lot more work has to be done before this SVG works as expected.

As we have currently no one working on improving SVG support, and it is not one of our current priorities, I am closing this issue for the time being.

This issue will be reopened when someone takes on the challenge to improve SVG support.

All issues (open or closed) related to SVG support can be found in the SVG project board.
