Template:Created with Vector Magic

 

This image was created with Vector Magic.

Documentation

This documentation is generated by the {{SVG created with/doc}} meta-template.

English: Used to mark files created / converted with Vector Magic

As its name indicates, this template was originally designed to identify the software (application, in most cases) used to create the file, but its role has since largely expanded. It now displays a horizontal (usually grey) box describing the file, potentially specifying its author, and controls its categorization.

This template may or may not display another box about SVG validity in some cases. When that validity box displays, it is first.

The template automatically sets the following categories:

• Created with Vector Magic (1 C) 0 (MetaCat)

• SVG created with Vector Magic (2 C) (MetaCat)

• Valid SVG created with Vector Magic (1 C, 54 F)
• Invalid SVG created with Vector Magic (1 C, 2 F)

(only few files: subcategorizing disabled)

Usage

{{Created with Vector Magic |err= |topic= }}

From Template:Image generation the abbreviation “VM” is used.

Examples

The default behavior of several Created with tool templates, including {{Created with Inkscape}} and {{Created with GIMP}}, "magically" varies according to the context. Therefore, even if the table below shows a certain result, for SVG files, the actual result may be quite different. Using Inkscape as example, in most namespaces a completely default call may result in:   This image was created with Inkscape . But in the main namespace (File), when the file type is detected (using the extension) as SVG, the same call may actually yield:   This W3C-unspecified vector image was created with Inkscape .

{{ Created with Vector Magic }}	This image was created with Vector Magic.
{{ Created with Vector Magic | Alice }}	This image was created with Vector Magic by Alice.
{{ Created with Vector Magic | topic = l }}	This logo was created with Vector Magic.
{{ Created with Vector Magic | Bob | v | 0 }}	This template may not support this form. Only tools which support SVG (such as Inkscape and GIMP) accept it. iThe source code of this SVG is valid.   This image was created with Vector Magic by Bob.
