gtk-encode-symbolic-svg Command

Introduction to the command

The gtk-encode-symbolic-svg command is a tool for encoding SVG images into symbolic SVG images. It is used to create images that can be used in GTK+ applications. This command is part of the GTK+ library and is available on Linux and other Unix-like systems.

Basic usage and syntax

The syntax for the gtk-encode-symbolic-svg command is:

gtk-encode-symbolic-svg [OPTIONS] INPUT_FILE OUTPUT_FILE

where the options are:

• -h: Display help and exit.
• -v: Display version information and exit.
• -c: Compress the output file.
• -p: Preserve the original image aspect ratio.
• -s: Scale the output image.
• -t: Translate the output image.
• -r: Rotate the output image.
• -o: Output the image in a specific format.
• -m: Set the output image's maximum dimensions.
• -d: Set the output image's DPI.
• -x: Set the output image's X-axis offset.
• -y: Set the output image's Y-axis offset.
• -z: Set the output image's Z-axis offset.
• -f: Force the output image to be encoded in a specific format.
• -g: Set the output image's gamma value.
• -b: Set the output image's background color.
• -a: Set the output image's alpha value.
• -i: Set the output image's interpolation algorithm.
• -q: Set the output image's quality.

• Setting the output image's Y-axis offset: gtk-encode-symbolic-svg -y 10 input.svg output.svg
• Setting the output image's Z-axis offset: gtk-encode-symbolic-svg -z 10 input.svg output.svg
• Forcing the output image to be encoded in a specific format: gtk-encode-symbolic-svg -f svgz input.svg output.svgz
• Setting the output image's gamma value: gtk-encode-symbolic-svg -g 0.5 input.svg output.svg
• Setting the output image's background color: gtk-encode-symbolic-svg -b "#000000" input.svg output.svg
• Setting the output image's alpha value: gtk-encode-symbolic-svg -a 0.5 input.svg output.svg
• Setting the output image's interpolation algorithm: gtk-encode-symbolic-svg -i bilinear input.svg output.svg
• Setting the output image's quality: gtk-encode-symbolic-svg -q 90 input.svg output.svg

Advanced options and flags

The gtk-encode-symbolic-svg command also has some advanced options and flags that can be used to customize the output image. Here are some examples of advanced options and flags:

• -l: Set the output image's layers.
• -u: Set the output image's units.
• -e: Set the output image's encoding.
• -k: Set the output image's color profile.
• -j: Set the output image's jpeg quality.
• -w: Set the output image's webp quality.

Examples in real-world scenarios

The gtk-encode-symbolic-svg command can be used in a variety of real-world scenarios. Here are some examples of how the command can be used in the real world:

• Creating an SVG image from a PNG image for use in a GTK+ application: gtk-encode-symbolic-svg input.png output.svg
• Compressing an SVG image for use in a web application: gtk-encode-symbolic-svg -c input.svg output.svg
• Scaling an SVG image for use in a mobile application: gtk-encode-symbolic-svg -s 0.5 input.svg output.svg

Troubleshooting tips and potential errors

When using the gtk-encode-symbolic-svg command, there are a few potential errors and issues that may arise. Here are some troubleshooting tips and potential errors to look out for:

• Make sure that the input and output files are in the correct format.
• Make sure that the options and flags are specified correctly.
• Make sure that the input file is not corrupted or damaged.
• Make sure that the output file is not already in use.
• Make sure that the image is not too large for the output format.
• Make sure that the image is not too small for the output format.
• Make sure that the image is not too complex for the output format.
