Vector Playing Cards

This is a simple collection of SVG images defining a deck of playing cards (based on vector-playing-cards) and a script (svg2png.py) which will convert a folder of svg files into arbitrarily sized png files.

Usage:

svg2png.py [-h] -i INPUTDIR -o OUTPUTDIR [-q] [-x] [-n] -w WIDTH

Generate fixed width PNGs from SVGs    
optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INPUTDIR           Input directory of SVGs
  -o OUTPUTDIR          Output directory of PNGs
  -v, --verbose         Verbose output
  -x, --nocrush         Don't optimize resulting PNGs
  -n, --dry-run         Show commands without running them
  -w WIDTH              PNG output width

Example use:

Simple: Convert SVGs to 300px wide uncompressed PNGs:

python svg2png.py -v -x -i cards-svg -o cards-png-300px -w 300
Normal: Create SVGs to 320px wide optimized PNGs suppressing all status output

python svg2png.py -i cards-svg -o cards-png-320px -w 320

Prerequisites:

To generate custom PNG images, you'll want the following tools:

MacOSX:
- Homebrew: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
- svg2png: brew install svg2png
- optipng: brew install optipng
- advdef: brew install advancecomp
- montage: brew install imagemagick
Python 2.7 (generate-png.py uses argparse which is Python 2.7 only)

Notes:

Non optimized PNGs are approximately a third larger.

##License

These images, scripts and subsequent transformational output (e.g. custom sized PNGs) are released into the public domain or optionally licensed under the WTFPL in juristictions where the public domain is not a recognized legal concept. Either way, do as you see fit: relicense, embed in commercial, non-commercial or open-source software, etc.

The original source images were released by Byron Knoll into the public domain on Google Code as vector-playing-cards . Perhaps send him
