GenPinoutSVG

This repository contains a program to produce pinout SVG files from a CSV file source file of pin definitions and other graphical/format commands.

This program was inspired by Graphical Datasheets

How To Use

This is a Python 3 program and has only been tested on V3.6. It should be considered the minimum version for bug reports.

1. Create a Python Virtual Environment
2. Install Dependencies with pip
   • docopt
   • svgwrite
   • wand
3. Clone this repository
4. Execute ./GenPinoutSVG.py <csv file>

CSV Input data format

The CSV format is a simple list of drawing commands, at a higher level than raw SVG and targeted to the needs of a graphical pinout datasheet.

The basic format of the CSV file is:

• \n (Carriage Return 0x13) is the Line Ender character
• Fields are separated with , (Comma)
• If you put a comma inside a string, quote it with " (double quote)

Each line of the CSV is a command, with the following general format:

• First Field = Command Name
• Second to Nth Field = Options to the command

There are TWO Phases in the drawing process and the commands are divided by phase. The first phase is the SETUP phase, which defines all the attributes of the page and drawing options, themes. The Second phase is the DRAW phase and it is triggered by the DRAW command.

DRAW Operations must occur in Draw Phase and Setup operations must occur in Setup phase.
