KnittingPatternToSVG Module

This module provides functionality to convert knitting patterns to SVG.

class knittingpattern.convert.KnittingPatternToSVG.KnittingPatternToSVG(knittingpattern, layout, instruction_to_svg, builder, zoom)

This is inspired by the method object pattern, since building an SVG requires several steps.

• knittingpattern (knittingpattern.KnittingPattern.KnittingPattern) – a knitting pattern
• layout (knittingpattern.convert.Layout.GridLayout) –
• instruction_to_svg – an InstructionToSVG :class:` ~knittingpattern.convert.InstructionToSVGCache.InstructionSVGCache`, both with instructions already loaded.
• builder (knittingpattern.convert.SVGBuilder.SVGBuilder) –
• zoom (float) – the height and width of a knit instruction

list of weak references to the object (if defined)
