@subsection Goals

This section exists to organize files related to @code{svg}

functionality of @file{centos-art.sh} script.

@subsection Description

The @code{svg} functionality of @file{centos-art.sh} script helps you

to maintain scalable vector graphics (SVG) inside repository. For

example, suppose you've been working in CentOS default design models

under @file{trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/}, and you want to set common

metadata to all of them, and later remove all unused SVG defintions

from @samp{*.svg} files. Doing so file by file may be a tedious task,

so the @file{centos-art.sh} script provides the @code{svg}

functionality to aid you maintain such actions.

@cindex Metadata maintainance

@subsubsection Metadata maintainance

The metadata used is defined by Inkscape 0.46 using the SVG standard

markup. The @file{centos-art.sh} script replaces everything

in-between @code{<metadata} and @code{</metadata>} tags with a

predefined metadata template we've set for this purpose.

The metadata template was created using the metadata information of a

file which, using Inkscape 0.46, all metadata fields were set. This

created a complete markup representation of how SVG metadata would

look like. Later, we replaced every single static value with a

translation marker in the form @samp{=SOMETEXT=}, where

@code{SOMETEXT} is the name of its main opening tag. Later, we

transform the metadata template into a sed replacement set of commads

escaping new lines at the end of each line.

With metadata template in place, the @file{centos-art.sh} script uses

it to create a metadata template instance for the file being processed

currently.  The metadata template instance contains the metadata

portion of sed replacement commands with translation markers already

traduced.  In this action, instance creation, is where we take

advantage of automation and generate metadata values like title, date,

keywords, source, identifier, and relation dynamically, based on the

file path @file{centos-art.sh} script is currently creating metadata

information for.

With metadata template instance in place, the @file{centos-art.sh}

script uses it to replace real values inside all @samp{.svg} files

under the current location you're running the @file{centos-art.sh}

script on.  Default behaviour is to ask user to enter each metadatum

required, one by one. If user leaves metadatum empty, by pressing

@key{RET} key, @file{centos-art.sh} uses its default value.

The @file{centos-art.sh} script modifies the following metadata:

@table @samp

@item Title

Name by which this document is formally known. If no value is set

here, @file{centos-art.sh} script uses the file name as title.

@item Date

Date associated with the creation of this document (YYYY-MM-DD). If no

value is set here, @file{centos-art.sh} script uses the current date

information as in @command{date +%Y-%m-%d}.

@item Creator

Name of entity primarily responsible for making the content of this

document. If no value is set here, @file{centos-art.sh} script uses

the string @samp{The CentOS Project}.

@item Rights

Name of entity with rights to the intellectual Property of this

document. If no value is set here, @file{centos-art.sh} script uses

the string @samp{The CentOS Project}.

@item Publisher

Name of entity responsible for making this document available. If no

value is set here, @file{centos-art.sh} script uses the string

@samp{The CentOS Project}.

@item Identifier

Unique URI to reference this document. If no value is set here,

@file{centos-art.sh} script uses the current file path to build the

related url that points to current file location inside repository

central server.

@item Source

Unique URI to reference the source of this document. If no value is

set here, @file{centos-art.sh} script uses current file path to build

the related url that points to current file location inside repository

central server.

@item Relation

Unique URI to a related document. If no value is set here,

@file{centos-art.sh} script uses current file path to build the

related url that points to current file location inside repository

central server.

@item Language

Two-letter language tag with optional subtags for the language of this

document. (e.g. @samp{en-GB}). If no value is set here,

@file{centos-art.sh} script uses the current locale information as in

@code{cli_getCurrentLocale} function.

@item Keywords

The topic of this document as comma-separated key words, prhases, or

classifications. If no value is set here, @file{centos-art.sh} script

uses file path to build 

@item Coverage

Extent or scope of this document. If no value is set here,

@file{centos-art.sh} script uses the string @samp{The CentOS Project}.

@item Description

Description about the document. If no value is set here,

@file{centos-art.sh} script uses uses empty value as default.

@item Contributors

People that contributes in the creation/maintainance of the document.

If no value is set here, @file{centos-art.sh} script uses uses empty

value as default.

@end table

The @samp{License} metadatum is not set as a choise, by now. It is

fixed @url{http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/, Creative

Common Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 License}. This is done in order to

grant license consistency among all SVG files we manage inside CentOS

Artwork Repository.

@cindex Unused definitions

@subsubsection Unused definitions 

Many of the no-longer-used gradients, patterns, and markers (more

precisely, those which you edited manually) remain in the

corresponding palettes and can be reused for new objects. However if

you want to optimize your document, use the @samp{Vacuum Defs} command

in @samp{File} menu. It will remove any gradients, patterns, or

markers which are not used by anything in the document, making the

file smaller. 

If you have one or two couple of files, removing unused definitions

using the graphical interface may be enough to you.  In contrast, if

you have dozens or even houndreds of scalable vector graphics files to

maintain it is not a fun task to use the graphical interface to remove

unused definitions editing those files one by one.

To remove unused definitions from several scalable vector graphics

files, the @file{centos-art.sh} script uses Inkscape command-line

interface, specifically with the @option{--vaccum-defs} option.

@subsection Usage

@table @command

@item centos-art svg --update-metadata='path/to/dir'

@item centos-art svg --update-metadata='path/to/dir' --filter='regex'

Use these commands to update metadata information to @samp{.svg} files

under @samp{path/to/dir} directory.

@item centos-art svg --vacuum-defs='path/to/dir'

@item centos-art svg --vacuum-defs='path/to/dir' --filter='regex'

Use these commands to remove unused definitions inside @samp{.svg}

files under @samp{path/to/dir} directory. 

@end table

When you provide @option{--filter='regex'} argument, the list of files

to process is reduced as specified in @samp{regex} regular expression.

Inside @file{centos-art.sh} script, the @samp{regex} regular

expression is used in combination with @command{find} command to look

for files matching the regular expression path pattern.

@quotation

@strong{Warning} In order for @samp{regex} regular expression to match

a file, the @samp{regex} regular expresion must match the whole file

path not just the file name. 

@end quotation

For example, if you want to match all @file{summary.svg} files inside

@file{path/to/dir}, use the @code{.+/summary} regular expression.

Later, @file{centos-art.sh} script uses this value inside

@code{^$REGEX\.svg$} expression in order to build the final regular

expression (i.e., @code{^.+/summary\.svg$}) that is evaluated against

available file paths inside the list of files to process.

Exceptionally, when you provide @option{--filter='regex'} in the way

that @samp{regex}, appended to @samp{path/to/dir/} (i.e.

@samp{path/to/dir/regex}), matches a regular file; the

@file{centos-art.sh} script uses the file matching as only file in the

list of files to process.
