Subject: Translating svg path data to x,y
Author: Kurt Martin

I am creating an XSLT to convert some XML data to SVG. The data is
exported from a program the customer is using, and it exports text
data, but the actual SVG text is written out as paths. I need to
find the x,y data in path/@d so I can position the text properly on
the screen. Here is a snippet of code:

<CADConverterDwgEntity>
<Type>AcDbText</Type>
<Handle>604</Handle>
<Layer>TEXT</Layer>
<Linetype>CONTINUOUS</Linetype>
<Text>2</Text>
</CADConverterDwgEntity>
<path d="M556.42 509.02L556.42 508.86M556.42 508.86L556.58
508.54M556.58 508.54L556.74 508.37M556.74 508.37L557.07
508.21M557.07 508.21L557.72 508.21M557.72 508.21L558.05
508.37M558.05 508.37L558.21 508.54M558.21 508.54L558.37
508.86M558.37 508.86L558.37 509.19M558.37 509.19L558.21
509.51M558.21 509.51L557.88 510M557.88 510L556.26 511.62M556.26
511.62L558.53 511.62"
fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="0.1"/>
<EndCADConverterDwgEntity>
</EndCADConverterDwgEntity>

What I need is:

<text x="nnn" y="nnn" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-
width="0.1">2</text>

where the values of x and y are derived from the information in
path/@d.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kevin,

Which numbers you need to pick inside @d?

From the path element, d attribute:
<path d="M556.42 509.02L556..."/>

should be:

<text x="556.42" y="509.02">text_value</text>

The placement of the lower, left corner is where the text should be placed, so the strings contain between "M" and "L", delimited by a space, should be placed into x and y respectively.

so, taken the snippet of code I provided:

<CADConverterDwgEntity>
<Type>AcDbText</Type>
<Handle>604</Handle>
<Layer>TEXT</Layer>
<Linetype>CONTINUOUS</Linetype>
<Text>2</Text>
</CADConverterDwgEntity>
<path d="M556.42 509.02L556.42 508.86M556.42 508.86L556.58
508.54M556.58 508.54L556.74 508.37M556.74 508.37L557.07
508.21M557.07 508.21L557.72 508.21M557.72 508.21L558.05
508.37M558.05 508.37L558.21 508.54M558.21 508.54L558.37
508.86M558.37 508.86L558.37 509.19M558.37 509.19L558.21
509.51M558.21 509.51L557.88 510M557.88 510L556.26 511.62M556.26
511.62L558.53 511.62"
fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="0.1"/>
<EndCADConverterDwgEntity>
</EndCADConverterDwgEntity>

should turn out to be:

<text x="556.42" y="509.02">2</text>

Thanks,

kev
