SVG Image Files are very simple

This is the simplest file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<path 
d="M 100 100 L 300 100 L 200 300"
style="fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:1;stroke-opacity:1;"/>
</svg>

To turn a list of /locs into a SVG file here are the steps

1) Remove all extra info besides your locations. Remove the middle location value (this is the vertical location and is useless).

2) Paste this before the locations. (Paste M before the first location only)

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<path d=" M

3) Before every location except the first one with M paste

Code:

4) After all the locations paste

Code:

" style="fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:1;stroke-opacity:1;"/> </svg>

5) Save as whatever.svg and open with Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator, or like program. Edit to your heart's content.
