Svg.Editor.Svg

Svg.Editor.Svg packages the SVG document mutation and resource-management services used by the editor stack.

Install

dotnet add package Svg.Editor.Svg

Choose this package when

you want to load, save, and round-trip SVG documents in an editor workflow,
you need reusable property-inspector models,
you need layer, pattern, brush, swatch, symbol, or style collections,
your host app already has a UI and only needs the SVG-side editor services.

Main services

Type	Role
`SvgDocumentService`	Open from file or stream, save, round-trip XML, export png/pdf/xps
`PropertiesService`	Build editable property-entry collections and apply values back to an element
`LayerService`	Load and mutate layer hierarchy
`PatternService`	Enumerate and add patterns
`BrushService`	Enumerate brush profiles and swatches
`SymbolService`	Enumerate and add reusable symbols
`AppearanceService`	Load and update style entries
`ToolService`	Create and update editor-created elements

Main models

Svg.Editor.Svg.Models contains the reusable data classes behind the property inspector and resource browser:

PropertyEntry
GradientStopsEntry
GradientMeshEntry
StrokeProfileEntry
LayerEntry
PatternEntry
BrushEntry
SwatchEntry
SymbolEntry
StyleEntry
AppearanceLayer

Basic workflow

using Svg.Editor.Svg;

var documentService = new SvgDocumentService();
var layerService = new LayerService();
var propertiesService = new PropertiesService();

var document = documentService.Open("Assets/__tiger.svg");
layerService.Load(document);

if (document?.Children.Count > 0 && document.Children[0] is Svg.SvgElement element)
{
    propertiesService.LoadProperties(element);
    propertiesService.ApplyAll(element);
}

Why this package exists separately

AvalonDraw originally carried these services in the sample app. Extracting them into Svg.Editor.Svg makes the property editor, layer browser, and resource browser reusable without taking the default Avalonia workspace.
