Colours are the deeds of light; its deeds and sufferings: thus considered we may expect from them some explanation respecting light itself.
DESCRIPTION
The pspsvg utility converts the gradient files used by PaintShop Pro (which usually have the extension jgd or PspGradient) to the Scalar Vector Graphics (SVG) format.
The program will read from stdin if a file is not specified as
the final argument, and write to stdout if the --output option is not specified.
OPTIONS
--backtrace-filepath-
Specify a file to which to write a formatted backtrace. The file will only be created if there is a backtrace created, typically when an error occurs.
--backtrace-formatformat-
Specify the
formatof the backtrace written to the files specified by--backtrace-file, one ofplain,xmlorjson. --comments-readpath-
Read the comments from the specified
pathand add them to the output gradient.The format is custom XML which should be fairly easy to generate, see the output of
--comments-writefor examples. --comments-generate-
Create a comment with summary data (the date of creation, name and version of the cptutils package) in the output file.
-g,--geometrywidthxheight-
Specify the size of the SVG preview in pixels.
-h,--help-
Brief help.
-o,--outputpath-
Write the output to
path, rather thanstdout. -p,--preview-
Include a preview in the SVG output. See also the
--geometryoption. -v,--verbose-
Verbose operation.
-V,--version-
Version information.
NOTES
The author could find no public documentation for the PaintShop Pro gradient file format and so reverse-engineered it for the first version of this program. An improved analysis of the format by Olivier Berten was used for the present version.
The PaintShop Pro format can be read by Photoshop, but Photoshop's native (grd) gradient format cannot be read by this program. To convert Photoshop gradients, see the pssvg (1) documentation.
