How to modify children of `svg::Document`?

I see. Then indeed it would be difficult to achieve with this crate, unless one is willing to change the approach, such as to parse and augment at the same time. Sorry. I close this one then.

Hello, the interface is not designed for modification. But perhaps this is not what you actually want. The example shows that you are trying to construct something from scratch. In such a case, just create each child separately and then append to the parent.

Thanks for the answer @IvanUkhov .

My example is reduction of a bigger problem. I want to write a tool that takes an existing SVG and modifies it to make it friendlier to be 'consumed' by a pen plotter.

I read the file using an svg::Parser and turn it into an svg::Document. My idea is to pass this svg::Document down to several functions that modify the svg::Document. Than I'd like to write the modified SVG to disk. But that doesn't seem to be possible as you write:

Thanks for the answer!
