set_values: Change values of an imported SVG file

In m-jahn/fluctuator: An Interface to Import and Modify SVG (XML) Graphic Files

Change values of an imported SVG file

Description

SVG files and the imported representation of class 'XMLsvg' are hierarchically organized in node sets and nodes. Each node is a graphical object such as a path, rectangle, or text. This function changes _values_ of nodes, most notably text fields. For _attributes_ which describe the properties of a value, see set_attributes(). Note that even when the output of set_values() is not assigned to a new object, the input XMLsvg object is still changed. This is because, unlike usual R work flows, attributes of XML objects are changed on the fly (similar to python).

Usage

set_values(xml, node = NULL, node_attr = "label", value = NULL)

Arguments

xml	(XMLsvg) XMLsvg object obtained from read_svg()
node	(character) node(s) to be modified. Node names are searched using the 'node_attr' field
node_attr	(character) name of the attribute by which target nodes are filtered (default: "label")
value	(character) The (new) value assigned to

Value

Returns an object of class 'XMLsvg'
