text-svg v1.0.4

text-svg: Text to SVG generator for Node.js

textToSvg('Create png image\nfrom multi-line text!');

Quick start

text-svg depends on node-canvas. See node-canvas wiki on installing node-canvas.

$ npm install text-svg

var fs = require('fs');
var text2Svg = require('text-svg');
fs.writeFileSync('out.svg', text2Svg('Hello!', {color: 'blue'}));

Option

text2svg(text, option)

option.color = '#000' | 'rgb(0, 0, 0)' | 'black' | ...

option.output = 'buffer' | 'stream' | 'dataURL' | 'canvas'

option.strokeWidth = 1 | 2 | ... A padding may have to be set to avoid cutoff of stroke

'canvas' returns node-canvas object.

If you want to use any custom fonts without installing, use localFontPath and localFontName property.

text2Svg('with custom fonts', {
  font: '50px Lobster',
  localFontPath: 'fonts/Lobstar-Regular.ttf',
  localFontName: 'Lobster'
});

Command line interface

$ npm install -g text-svg
$ text2Svg --help
$ text2Svg -t "Hello!" -o "output.svg"

Example

text2Svg('Example\nText', {
  font: '80px Futura',
  color: 'teal',
  backgroundColor: 'linen',
  lineSpacing: 10,
  padding: 20
});

Enjoy!
