How to output and save

[audas]

Sorry if already addressed but am not sure of the correct way to output svg to file ?

I'm assuming you've already got an SVG object (an image) loaded from somewhere or constructed one manually.

You can use its toXMLString() method to obtain the SVG in text form, and then write that out whichever way you prefer. The simplest way would be using PHP's file_put_contents.

Complete example:

<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use SVG\SVG;
use SVG\Nodes\Shapes\SVGRect;

// image with 100x100 viewport
$image = new SVG(100, 100);
$doc = $image->getDocument();

// blue 40x40 square at (0, 0)
$square = new SVGRect(0, 0, 40, 40);
$square->setStyle('fill', '#0000FF');
$doc->addChild($square);

// obtain the SVG text
$svgString = $image->toXMLString();

// write it to a file
file_put_contents('path/to/the-file.svg', $svgString);

I hope this solved your problem. Please, always ask if something is unclear!
