How to save ofPath to a file and then open it later?

#1

Hi, I wonder if it’s possible to save ofPath to a file (e.g svg file) and then later read the file to create ofPath from it.

I found out how to read the svg file but couldn’t find how to write ofPath to a svg file.

I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Save ofPath or ofPolyline to SVG file in oF 0.10

Check this addon out: https://github.com/borg/ofxEditableSVG/tree/master/example/src

You can extract only the load and save methods if its too big for your project.

Yeah, that would be so great. Looking for that too.
If it’s possible would be great to have an editable SVG example ( draw a path and save it into SVG ) from scratch, like XML example does.
