I did not intend for this little experiment to become a post, but I think the code builds nicely on the XML + rvest combination (also see yesterday’s post) for working with XML/HTML/SVG documents in R.
It all started when I was playing on my iPhone in the Sketchbook app and drew a really bad turkey. Even though, the turkey was bad, I thought it would be fun to combine with vivus.js. However, Sketchbook does not export SVG, so I exported as PDF and imported into Inkscape. The end result was a still very messy SVG file, so I thought it would be a great test / application of my new skills with rvest + XML. The code opens the SVG, grabs all the path nodes, assembles those into a svg tag with id = "turkey", and then adds a script to use the addDependency for vivus.js.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the US readers out there.
