template

Loads an SVG image from disk, like [Defload load], but replaces all instances of <REPLACEME /> with an [ClassSVG SVG] object of your choosing.

Arguments

• template(fileName, svg, replaceme)*

	fileName		_*required*_		name of the template SVG
	svg		_*required*_		SVG object for replacement
	replaceme		_default_="REPLACEME"		fake SVG element to be replaced by the given object

Example

In this example, the file `template.svg` contains single yellow rectangle and a <REPLACEME /> tag.

>>> print load("template.svg")
None                 <svg (2 sub) style=u'stroke:black; fill:none; stroke-width:0.5pt; stroke-linejoi
[0]                      <rect height=u'100' width=u'100' stroke=u'none' y=u'0' x=u'0' fill=u'yellow'
[1]                      <REPLACEME />

With the template function, we can put our own SVG objects on the yellow background.

>>> print template("template.svg", SVG("circle", cx=50, cy=50, r=30))
None                 <svg (2 sub) style=u'stroke:black; fill:none; stroke-width:0.5pt; stroke-linejoi
[0]                      <rect height=u'100' width=u'100' stroke=u'none' y=u'0' x=u'0' fill=u'yellow'
[1]                      <circle cy=50 cx=50 r=30 />
