lsvg is a Lua interpreter specialized to generate SVG images.
It is based on LuaX and uses a pure Lua library to generate SVG images. It optionally requires ImageMagick to make PNG, JPEG or PDF images.
lsvg was initially inspired by svg-lua.
lsvg is available on Github: https://github.com/CDSoft/lsvg.
lsvg uses LuaX.
$ git clone https://github.com/CDSoft/luax && ninja -C luax install
$ git clone https://github.com/CDSoft/lsvg
$ cd lsvg
$ ninja install
If LuaX is not installed yet, the first compilation may take a while...
In case precompiled binaries are needed (GNU/Linux, MacOS, Windows), some can be found at cdelord.fr/pub. These archives contain lsvg as well as some other softwares more or less related to LuaX.
