gtk-encode-symbolic-svg1

Symbolic icon conversion utility

Usage

gtk-encode-symbolic-svg [OPTION ...] PATH WIDTHxHEIGHT

Overview

gtk-encode-symbolic-svg converts symbolic svg icons into specially prepared png files. GTK+ can load and recolor these pngs, just like original svgs, but loading them is much faster.

PATH is the name of a symbolic svg file, WIDTHxHEIGHT are the desired dimensions for the generated png file.

To distinguish them from ordinary pngs, the generated files have the extension .symbolic.png.

Options

-o DIRECTORY, --output DIRECTORY

Write png files to DIRECTORY instead of the current working directory.
