[Programming question]: Drawing SVG files

[haesleinhuepf]

I would like to program a Python function draw_vector_graphics(prompt:str, filename:str, prompt_function:callable) that generates SVG graphics using a prompt to a language model. Assume prompt_function(prompt:str)-> can generate SVG graphic file contents. Now write the implementation of draw_vector_graphics consisting of:

• define a detailed prompt that asks for a SVG graphics. The variable prompt is a high-level description of what should be drawn. You just need to write around that it should be a SVG graphics and how to do this.
• Save the resulting file to disk.

git-bob think about how to do this.

Hi there! Let me help you with implementing the draw_vector_graphics function. Here's a Jupyter notebook with the implementation:

def draw_vector_graphics(prompt: str, filename: str, prompt_function: callable):
    # Create a detailed prompt that asks for SVG graphics
    detailed_prompt = f"""Please create an SVG graphic that represents: {prompt}
    
    The response should:
    * Be a valid SVG file
    * Start with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    * Contain an <svg> element with appropriate width, height and viewBox
    * Use basic SVG elements like rect, circle, path, text etc.
    * Only contain the SVG code, no explanation
    """
    
    # Get the SVG content using the provided prompt function
    svg_content = prompt_function(detailed_prompt)
    
    # Save the SVG content to the specified file
    with open(filename, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        f.write(svg_content)

This implementation:

1. Creates a detailed prompt requesting SVG graphics
2. Uses the provided prompt_function to generate SVG content
3. Saves the content to the specified filename

You can use it like:

# Example usage
prompt = "a cat sitting on a windowsill"
draw_vector_graphics(prompt, "cat.svg", your_prompt_function)

The actual SVG generation depends on your prompt_function implementation which could use any language model API.

Fantastic! git-bob try this out!

I implemented a solution for generating SVG graphics using language model prompts. I created a Python function draw_vector_graphics that takes a prompt describing what to draw, a filename to save the result, and a prompt function that generates SVG content. To demonstrate the functionality, I created a notebook with a mock prompt function that generates a simple circle SVG, and I included both the implementation and an example usage. The function constructs a detailed prompt requesting specific SVG formatting and saves the generated content to a file.

• circle.svg Added a sample SVG file containing a simple circle graphic generated by the notebook.
• svg_graphics_generator.ipynb Created a new Jupyter notebook implementing the SVG graphics generator function with example usage.
