Interpreting Inkscape SVG path coordinates for HTML map
I needed some coordinates for a HTML MAP and tried to use inkskape by opening the image and just draw a path with my polygon coordinates.
My document properties are set to 256 x 256 pixels and units: px
When opening the svg file i get coordinates which are not immediately apparent.
<path d="m 23.864407,126.91525 3.254237, 44.47458 35.79661, 44.47458 71.593216, 19.52542 71.59322, -37.9661 22.77967, -72.67797 L 218.0339, 64 192,49.898305 l -32.54237, 8.677966 -18.44068, -35.79661 1.08474, -17.3559322 -71.593215,0 L 45.559322,34.711864 35. 79661,57.491525 5.4237288, 74.847458 6.5084746,101.9661 23.864407,126.91525 z" />How can I get coordinates I can use ?
The original image
The SVG file from inkscape
Progress:
I tried a tool called InkscapeMap which looks promising and simple, but unfortunately it looks like it didn't work with this particular svn file.
Solved!
Saving the file as a Plain SVG solved the problem and InkscapeMap worked perfectly.
(Btw. saving as an optimized svg caused a parsing error)
Update 13.11
Using inkscapeMap 0.6 and Inkscape 0.48 i needed to uncheck relative coordinates in SVG output preferences. Also if you get a C error message, hunt down the polygon with a C in it, and redraw the polygon using the XML editor in inkscape.
Update 25.11.2011
I modified the source to improve parsing.
