SVG `<text>`: Tips & Tricks

Notes for a presentation by Amelia Bellamy-Royds
SVG Summit, 15 February 2017

I've set up a CodePen as a scratchpad for the live-coding bits. Don't expect anything there to stay there long; fork the pen if you want to save the code & look at it later.

Here's a basic snippet:

from PIL import Image
import pytesseract
fname = './nytimes.com.201506231100.jpg'
img = Image.open(fname)
print(pytesseract.image_to_string(img)))

	#!/usr/bin/env python3
	# vim: set fileencoding=utf-8

	for num_claps in range(2, 5):
	globals()[num_claps * 'clap'] = (lambda num_claps:
	(lambda: print(num_claps * '👏'))
	)(num_claps)

	clapclap()
	clapclapclap()
