Errors while preprocessing svg files

[athena913]

Hi,

I used preprocess.py to process icons from the iconfinder dataset, which is a public site for icons. I am getting the following errors. The svg file for one of the icons from the iconfinder dataset is provided below, as an example. Does preprocess.py only work for the icons8 dataset? I would appreciate some guidance for how it can be adapted to process the svg format provided below, which does not include the "viewbox" attribute.

Thanks

svg = SVG.load_svg(svg_file)
File "../deepsvg/svglib/svg.py", line 74, in load_svg
    return SVG.from_str(f.read())
File "../deepsvg/svglib/svg.py", line 124, in from_str
    viewbox_list = list(map(float, svg_root.getAttribute("viewBox").split(" ")))
ValueError: could not convert string to float:

The error occurs because the python code assumes the svg document always has a viewBox attribute.

In your case, the svg tag doesn't have a viewBox attribute, but has width and height attributes.

For now, you can manually edit the file error mentions (deepsvg/svglib/svg.py` and replace line 124:

viewbox_list = list(map(float, svg_root.getAttribute("viewBox").split(" ")))

with

        viewbox_list = None
        if svg_root.hasAttribute('viewBox'):
            viewbox = list(map(float, svg_root.getAttribute("viewBox").split(" ")))
        elif svg_root.hasAttribute('width') and svg_root.hasAttribute('height'):
            viewbox_list = [0, 0, float(svg_root.getAttribute("width")), float(svg_root.getAttribute("height"))]
        else:
            raise Exception('<svg/> does not contain width, height attributes, nor viewBox. please double check the SVG')

(hopefully the spaces are ok, but it's best to double check spaces/tab settings in your code editor to avoid Python syntax errors)
