@ -195,7 +195,32 @@ Add the `svg` feature to enable SVG export functionality:
cargo run --example export_svg --features svg cargo run --example export_svg --features svg
``` ```
### Usage ### Command-Line SVG Export
When using the `turtle_main` macro with the `svg` feature enabled, you can export drawings directly to SVG files using the `--export-svg` command-line parameter:
```bash
# Export any example to SVG without showing the window
cargo run --example macro_demo --features svg -- --export-svg output.svg
# Works with all turtle_main-based examples
cargo run --example hello_turtle --features svg -- --export-svg square.svg
```
This will:
- Execute all drawing commands instantly (no animation)
- Export the result to an SVG file
- Exit immediately without opening a window
**Note**: The program still requires a display context to initialize. In headless environments, use `xvfb-run`:
```bash
xvfb-run -a cargo run --example macro_demo --features svg -- --export-svg output.svg
```
### Programmatic SVG Export
You can also export SVG programmatically from your code:
```rust ```rust
use turtle_lib::*; use turtle_lib::*;
