# view-svg Turn SVG(s) into PNG(s) you can actually look at. The Read tool renders raster images visually but treats SVG as text, so to *evaluate* a generated illustration (shape, proportion, color, composition) you must rasterize first. This is a dev affordance: run one command, then Read the PNGs it prints. Don't hand-roll conversion or reason about the SVG markup — let the raster show you. ## Use it ```bash node .claude/skills/view-svg/rasterize.mjs <path|dir|glob>... [options] ``` Inputs (mix freely): - a `.svg` file → rasterized - a directory → every `.svg` under it (recursive) is rasterized - a shell glob (e.g. `lite-template/integration/**/spike-output/figure-*/*.svg`) → let the shell expand it Options: - `--out DIR` — output dir (default `/tmp/svg-preview/<timestamp>/`, mirroring the source tree so same-named files don't collide) - `--density N` — render DPI, higher = crisper (default `200`) - `--max PX` — cap the longest output side, aspect preserved (default `2000`) - `--bg COLOR|none` — flatten onto a background (default `white`; `none` keeps transparency) The script prints each written PNG's absolute path to stdout, one per line, and a `rasterized N/M → <dir>` summary to stderr. ## Then look Read the printed PNG paths to evaluate them. For many files, rasterize the whole directory in one call, then Read the specific PNGs worth inspecting rather than all of them. ## Where the illustration experiments live The polygonizer spikes (the `*.spike.gen.test.js`
