A set of 120 weather based svg icons.

Rendering png's

The render-pngs.sh script will render png's from the icons.svg file by looping over the content of the index.txt file. Only objects whoes id's are inside the index.txt file will be rendered.

  • The script requires Inkscape and sed.

  • You can provide an icon size (single number). If you skip it, the icons default dimensions will be used.

  • You can provide an icon color. If you skip it, the default color will be used.

  • The script doesn't overwrite files. Delete the file you want to overwrite before executing the script.

NOTE:
If you change the icon color swatch in the icons.svg file, update the default_color variable inside the render-pngs script, otherwise the script won't be able to change the png color during rendering.

Pseudo-artboards

Since inkscape doesn't have artboards, the icon.svg file provides pseudo-artboard support by grouping each icon with a rectangle, which represents the icon's canvas (32x32 in this set.)

The groups are given id's which represent the name of the exported png.

NOTE:
Color swatches are provided in the icons.svg file for easily changing the icon and grid colors as well as for hiding the icon-canvas rectangles before exporting.
