Also, I put this library together a little while ago, as a part of WebPd :
https://github.com/sebpiq/pd-fileutils
It should work out of the box, converting pd patch to SVG

Used can2svg from Mats Bengtsson and got a nice result. You can open it
in a browser, zoom it, select text. It's about 3x larger than pd file. Probably wouldn't be too difficult to parse and turn most of the pddplinks into real links.
What happened to pdpedia? If it's still around maybe I can script this
to do all the pd-ext help files and make a nice online resource. It'd probably be more powerful to parse pd files directly to svg but that's a bigger project.

A few points:
- you can open svg in a browser
- you can _zoom_ svg in a browser for decent results (it's a vector
drawing)
- in safari you can select text in an svg (but not Firefox because of a
bug,
although you can stil <ctrl-c> it)
- much (but not all) of tk canvas has corresponding drawing
instructions in
svg. unless i'm missing something the subset of tk canvas commands
used by
Pd all have corresponding instructions in svg
Here's what I want to do (in Debian Wheezy):
- Open pd-extended
- Create new patch
- Create [f]
- Right click to open up float-help.pd (PDDP revised version)
- Click print and save to test.ps
- in cli type:
pstoedit -f plot-svg test.ps test.svg
But I get this error:
**** Warning: glyf overlaps cmap, truncating.
Anyone know what this means? It ends up cropping the top and bottom of
the
patch. Google search for the error doesn't help much.
In the future it'd probably be better to parse a *.pd file directly to convert to svg, but if I can convert a ps to svg like this I think I
can script
it and get some nice looking online searchable documentation with very
little
work. :)
