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.

>> A few points:

>> * you can open svg in a browser

>> * in safari you can select text in an svg (but not Firefox because of a bug,

>> * much (but not all) of tk canvas has corresponding drawing instructions in

>> 3) Create [f]
>> 4) Right click to open up float-help.pd (PDDP revised version)
>> 5) Click print and save to test.ps
>> 6) in cli type:
>> pstoedit -f plot-svg test.ps test.svg
