SVGpage project is a pyGTK application to view and convert to and from vector (SVG) graphics. In addition to SVG files the application is able to open PNG, GIF, JPG (including Exif), BMP and XPM. It can save as SVG, PNG or JPG.

If you are looking for an SVG editor capable of creating fine, crisp curves and gradients, you've got the wrong program. For simple graphics SVGpage can convert to SVG and render something very close.

For involved images, like pictures, you wind up with a PAINTERLY EFFECT. This effect can be very distinctive and attractive and is sought after by many. Sort of a good, single-click "GIMPressionist." So if that's what you're looking for, you've found it.

SVGpage can also take your SVG images and convert them to a PNG or a JPG. Even resize them. It uses Bilinear Interpolation and does an excellent job.

What's New in This Release:
Fixes linking eror(wrong version in symlink) for the binary running on Ubuntu.
Binary no longer startd from a script, therefore the "what do you want to do with this executable text file" dialog on Ubuntu is bypassed.
UI layout change to accommodate window dressings on Ubuntu and other distros. All options now fit correctly.
