SVG to PES converter (a common embroidery file format)

Primary LanguageC++

svg2pes

A program which converts SVG to PES (a commonly used file format for embroidery machines from Brother and others). This project's goal is to be able to author embroidery designs with Inkscape.

It is something like the opposite of pesconvert.

This is work in progress.

Building svg2pes

You need:

  • a C++14 compiler (GCC 5+ or clang)
  • expat (libexpat1-dev on Debian)
  • Meson 0.37 and Ninja

Run Meson:

meson . output

Compile and install:

ninja -C output
ninja -C output install

Using svg2pes

Example:

svg2pes test.svg test.pes

This command reads the file test.svg and then writes the file test.pes.
