# 造二維構圖
以 SVG 建、圖排、像合、批作程生二維像。
## 用
- 程生圖、流、信息圖
- 可重科圖或刊像
- 自生徽、標、視資
- 合多像或數視
- 築自定圖型
- 批生含參變之像
- 為網或印建 SVG 模
## 入
| 入 | 型 | 述 | 例 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 排規 | 設 | 寸、邊、格排 | 畫 800x600px、20px 邊 |
| 視素 | 數/資 | 形、字、像、點 | 矩坐、標、標 |
| 風參 | CSS/屬 | 色、體、筆寬、透 | `fill="#3366cc"`、`stroke-width="2"` |
| 數源 | 檔/陣 | 所視或注之值 | CSV 數、JSON 設 |
| 出式 | 串 | SVG、PNG、PDF、合式 | `output.svg`、300 DPI PNG |
## 行
### 一、設 Python 境
裝二維構所需庫:
```bash
# Core libraries
pip install svgwrite pillow cairosvg
# Optional: advanced features
pip install drawsvg reportlab pycairo
# For data-driven graphics
pip install matplotlib numpy pandas
```
**得:** 庫裝成
**敗:** 察 Python 版(3.7+)、用虛境避衝
### 二、建基 SVG 像
以 svgwrite 生 SVG:
```python
import svgwrite
from svgwrite import cm, mm
def create_basic_svg(output_path):
"""Create a simple SVG graphic."""
# Initialize drawing (use mm for precise dimensions)
dwg = svgwrite.Drawing(output_path, size=('180mm', '120mm'), profile='full')
# Add background rectangle
dwg.add(dwg.rect(
insert=(0, 0),
size=('100%', '100%'),
fill='white'
))
# Add shapes
dwg.add(dwg.circle(
center=(90*mm, 60*mm),
r=30*mm,
fill='lightblue',
stroke='navy',
stroke_width=2
))
dwg.add(dwg.rect(
insert=(30*mm, 30*mm),
size=(60*mm, 40*mm),
fill='lightgreen',
stroke='darkgreen',
stroke_width=2,
rx=5, # Rounded corners
ry=5
))
# Add text
dwg.add(dwg.text(
'Example Graphic',
insert=(90*mm, 20*mm),
text_anchor='middle',
font_size='18pt',
font_family='Arial',
fill='black'
))
dwg.save()
print(f"Saved: {output_path}")
```
**得:** SVG 檔生含形與字
**敗:** 察 svgwrite 版、驗出目可寫
### 三、以排輯築圖解
建算位之結構圖解:
```python
def create_flowchart(steps, output_path):
"""Generate a flowchart from list of steps."""
dwg = svgwrite.Drawing(output_path, size=('800px', '600px'))
# Layout parameters
box_width = 120
box_height = 60
spacing_y = 100
start_x = 340
start_y = 50
for i, step in enumerate(steps):
y_pos = start_y + i * spacing_y
# Draw box
box = dwg.add(dwg.g(id=f'step_{i}'))
box.add(dwg.rect(
insert=(start_x, y_pos),
size=(box_width, box_height),
fill='lightblue',
stroke='navy',
stroke_width=2,
rx=5,
ry=5
))
# Add text (wrapped if needed)
text_lines = wrap_text(step, max_width=16)
text_y = y_pos + box_height/2 - (len(text_lines)-1) * 7
for j, line in enumerate(text_lines):
box.add(dwg.text(
line,
insert=(start_x + box_width/2, text_y + j*14),
text_anchor='middle',
font_size='12pt',
font_family='Arial',
fill='black'
))
# Draw arrow to next step
if i < len(steps) - 1:
arrow_start_y = y_pos + box_height
arrow_end_y = y_pos + spacing_y
dwg.add(dwg.line(
start=(start_x + box_width/2, arrow_start_y),
end=(start_x + box_width/2, arrow_end_y),
stroke='black',
stroke_width=2,
marker_end=dwg.marker(
id='arrow',
viewBox='0 0 10 10',
refX=5,
refY=5,
markerWidth=6,
markerHeight=6,
orient='auto'
)
))
dwg.save()
def wrap_text(text, max_width=20):
"""Simple text wrapping."""
words = text.split()
lines = []
current_line = []
for word in words:
test_line = ' '.join(current_line + [word])
if len(test_line) <= max_width:
current_line.append(word)
else:
if current_line:
lines.append(' '.join(current_line))
current_line = [word]
if current_line:
lines.append(' '.join(current_line))
return lines
```
**得:** 流圖含連匣與箭
**敗:** 調排算、驗箭標定
### 四、合柵像
以 Pillow 合多像:
Pillow 合成例(網格/橫/縱+注),見 [references/EXAMPLES.md](../../../../skills/create-2d-composition/references/EXAMPLES.md)。
**得:** 合像成含正排
**敗:** 察諸入像存、驗像模相容
### 五、生數驅像
依數建視:
```python
import numpy as np
def create_bar_chart_svg(data, labels, output_path):
"""Generate SVG bar chart from data."""
dwg = svgwrite.Drawing(output_path, size=('600px', '400px'))
# Chart area
margin = 50
chart_width = 500
chart_height = 300
bar_spacing = 10
# Calculate bar dimensions
n_bars = len(data)
bar_width = (chart_width - (n_bars - 1) * bar_spacing) / n_bars
# Scale data to fit chart
max_value = max(data)
scale = chart_height / max_value
# Draw axes
dwg.add(dwg.line(
start=(margin, margin),
end=(margin, margin + chart_height),
stroke='black',
stroke_width=2
))
dwg.add(dwg.line(
start=(margin, margin + chart_height),
end=(margin + chart_width, margin + chart_height),
stroke='black',
stroke_width=2
))
# Draw bars
for i, (value, label) in enumerate(zip(data, labels)):
x = margin + i * (bar_width + bar_spacing)
bar_height = value * scale
y = margin + chart_height - bar_height
# Bar
dwg.add(dwg.rect(
insert=(x, y),
size=(bar_width, bar_height),
fill='steelblue',
stroke='navy',
stroke_width=1
))
# Value label
dwg.add(dwg.text(
f'{value:.1f}',
insert=(x + bar_width/2, y - 5),
text_anchor='middle',
font_size='10pt',
fill='black'
))
# X-axis label
dwg.add(dwg.text(
label,
insert=(x + bar_width/2, margin + chart_height + 20),
text_anchor='middle',
font_size='10pt',
fill='black'
))
dwg.save()
```
**得:** SVG 柱圖含按比之數
**敗:** 理邊例(空數、負值)、加驗
### 六、批生像
自多像建:
```python
def batch_generate_badges(users, template_path, output_dir):
"""Generate badge for each user."""
os.makedirs(output_dir, exist_ok=True)
for user in users:
output_path = os.path.join(output_dir, f"{user['id']}_badge.svg")
dwg = svgwrite.Drawing(output_path, size=('300px', '100px'))
# Background
dwg.add(dwg.rect(
insert=(0, 0),
size=('100%', '100%'),
fill='#3366cc',
rx=10,
ry=10
))
# User name
dwg.add(dwg.text(
user['name'],
insert=(150, 40),
text_anchor='middle',
font_size='20pt',
font_weight='bold',
fill='white'
))
# User role
dwg.add(dwg.text(
user['role'],
insert=(150, 70),
text_anchor='middle',
font_size='14pt',
fill='lightblue'
))
dwg.save()
print(f"Generated badge: {output_path}")
```
**得:** 各數項生一像
**敗:** 察數構、以默處缺欄
### 七、SVG 轉柵
為諸用出 SVG 至 PNG/PDF:
```python
import cairosvg
def svg_to_png(svg_path, png_path, dpi=300):
"""Convert SVG to PNG with specified DPI."""
# Calculate pixel dimensions from DPI
# Assuming A4 size as example
width_inches = 8.27
height_inches = 11.69
width_px = int(width_inches * dpi)
height_px = int(height_inches * dpi)
cairosvg.svg2png(
url=svg_path,
write_to=png_path,
output_width=width_px,
output_height=height_px
)
print(f"Converted to PNG: {png_path}")
def svg_to_pdf(svg_path, pdf_path):
"""Convert SVG to PDF."""
cairosvg.svg2pdf(url=svg_path, write_to=pdf_path)
print(f"Converted to PDF: {pdf_path}")
```
**得:** 柵出於定解
**敗:** 缺則裝 cairo 系庫、察 SVG 有效
## 驗
- [ ] 像於標應中正渲
- [ ] 字可讀位正
- [ ] 色合規、寸合用
- [ ] SVG 合準、柵出 DPI 正
- [ ] 排適數變、批畢無誤
- [ ] 出檔理組、碼含誤理
## 忌
1. **單位惑**:SVG 單與屏素印 DPI
2. **字溢**:過界→換行
3. **體可用**:系異→嵌或網安
4. **坐算**:格差一誤
5. **色式**:hex 串、非元
6. **SVG 有效**:XML 構、閉諸標
7. **檔路**:特符、檔名空格
8. **存用**:大批需塊、比例保、PNG 支 alpha 而 JPEG 否
