How to export to svg using library processing.svg.*;)

Hi there, Can anyone please let me know if there is a reference for the library processing.svg? Thanks Paul

It functions the same as the PDF library.

import processing.svg.*;
PGraphics pgDrawing;
PShape bg;

void setup() {
  size(400, 400);
  background(255);

  pgDrawing = createGraphics(400, 400, SVG, "test.svg");
  pgDrawing.beginDraw();
  pgDrawing.background(255);
  pgDrawing.stroke(0);
  pgDrawing.strokeWeight(4);
  drawEllipses();
  pgDrawing.dispose();
  pgDrawing.endDraw();
  bg = loadShape("test.svg");
}

void draw() {
  shape(bg, 0, 0);
  noLoop();
}

void drawEllipses() {
  for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
    pgDrawing.ellipse(random(0, width), random(0, height), 10, 10);
  }
}

Probably a bit late, but you need to call dispose after endDraw:

pgDrawing.endDraw(); pgDrawing.dispose();
