Version     : 1.9
Release     : 1.el7
URL         : http://dvisvgm.sourceforge.net
Summary     : DVI to SVG converter
Description :
dvisvgm is a command line utility that converts DVI files, as created by
TeX/LaTeX, to the XML-based scalable vector graphics format SVG. It supports
standard DVI files (format 2) as well as DVI output created by pTeX in vertical
mode (format 3), and XeTeX (format 5, also known as XDV). Besides
the basic DVI command set, dvisvgm also supports various special sets, like
color, hyperref, PostScript and TPIC. Furthermore, dvisvgm offers an option to
convert EPS files to SVG. For more detailed information, see

Update Information:
dvisvgm is a command-line tool for TeX/LaTeX users. It converts DVI and EPS files to the XML-based scalable vector graphics format SVG.
Selected features:
* Supports classic DVI files (format 2), pTeX DVI files (format 3), and XDV files as generated by XeTeX (format 5).
* Complete font support including virtual fonts, evaluation of font encodings, CMap files, sub-font definitions and font maps.
* Glyph outlines of all required fonts are embedded into the generated SVG files.
* Glyph outlines of fonts that are not available in a vector format are generated on-the-fly by vectorizing METAFONT's bitmap output.
* dvisvgm allows to replace font elements by paths so that applications without SVG font support are enabled to render dvisvgm's output properly.
* Computes tight bounding boxes for the generated graphics, but supports common paper formats and arbitrary user-defined sizes as well.
* Option --eps allows to convert EPS files to SVG.
* Intersections of clipping paths can be computed directly in order to increase the compatibility of the generated SVG files.
* Optionally creates compressed SVGZ files.
* Provides options for applying page transformations, like translation, rotation, scaling, and skewing.
* Evaluation of color, emTeX, tpic, hyperref/HyperTeX, PDF mapfile, and PostScript specials.
