Awesome.
Are there things one might like to do in R reading them directly
as svg that aren't so easy after converting to another format like png?
Thanks again,
Spencer
p.s. To confirm, I received the three files you sent offline, converted
then to png using GIMP (already installed), and plotted one using
rasterImageAdj (recently added to Ecfun on R-Forge; this calls
rasterImage{graphics} after reducing either the x or y space to
eliminate distortion. This makes it easier to use if you don't want
distortion in image from rasterImage.)

Indeed you don't need R. This is accomplished in two minutes with the
excellent, free, and open software inkscape. But before I type more and since I
have it open anyway, I'll just send you the three images off-list.

something that's free, open-source software. I tried GIMP, but couldn't
see how to access the layers.
Hi, Peter:

Spencer, what "components" do you want to extract? Do the SVG files
have a reasonably well-defined structure? I've done a fair amount
with SVG and may be able to help.
Thanks. I should have been more specific: I'd like to try to
extract into 3 separate files the weapons of mass destruction symbols
from the "WMD_world_map.svg" image in the Wiikipedia article on "Weapons
of mass destruction"
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/WMD_world_map.svg).
I've opened it in Emacs enough to see that it's a structured text
file consistent with what little I know about XML. It looks to me like
a list, but without convenient names for the list components.
Thanks again,
Spencer
p.s. I found the biohazard symbol by itself
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Biohazard_symbol.svg),
but I didn't find the radioactive and skull-and-crossbones symbols in
exactly that form. (I didn't look seriously beyond Wikimedia commons,
because I'm making a video, and I want something I can release under the
Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license.

Hello:
What would you suggest I use to read and manipulate an SVG file?
I'd like to extract components of an svg file. I see it's
XML, but I have very little experience with either SVG or XML.
I've tried GIMP and findFn{sos} without finding a clear
suggestion of where to start.
Thanks,
Spencer
