Hi, I’m trying to parse a SVG with paths into their coordinates (in order to use with deck.gl).
In this notebook I am fetching a SVG from an API but I’m unclear how I can parse the SVG paths at this point and save the paths as coordinates (something like a GEOJSON).
This library shows a technique that could work for you:
I sketched out a quick notebook example also if that helps: SVG Path to Coordinates / Observable / Observable
Thanks @shancarter! I’ll update here when I have a deck.gl plot of the regions using the coordinates.
Can’t wait to see it!
Here are some techniques you could use:
@shancarter I updated the notebook to parse through all the SVG paths (it is confusing to find all the paths, but I stumbled upon how to get them all apparently) and display the coordinates using deck.gl - thanks for the help (it’s regions of the mouse brain from the Allen Brain Atlas)! @mbostock I look forward to trying to improve the path sampling - thanks for sharing the notebook
