Looking for a SVG-stitch-up software
-
Hello! [UPDATE] I am looking for software, not code! I don't want to do this on my own, in part because I really don't want to waste hours on this that I could spend on more interesting things and in part because it would likely cost a bunch of money to do this in an efficient and effective way. BUT: I am looking for something with limited options(=> limited ways I can make mistakes) and that is way simpler to use than InkScape, for one. To put the problem in perspective, there is no intuitive way to resize multiple selections so that they have the same height and width. I'd rather not put hours upon hours on finding out where everything that, to my mind, is absolute basic stuff is. I want the basic stuff right on my face so that I don't have to learn yet-another-godawful-thing that I will use very rarely and for very specific things. I have also given a brief look at the suggested search but no cigar, merging isn't quite what I want, mostly I want positioning and resizing. I have no problems with doing this in layers (although that really sounds like a complication I don't need... but I digress, some battles aren't worth fighting) as long as what, in my mind, is basic stuff is easily reachable. To my mind I want the Visual Basic of SVG: put the "buttons" on the form where I see fit (the form would be in my case the main SVG), select them all, resize in the object inspector. Done! I think what I have in mind is probably not very sought after! Makes sense? [/UPDATE] [ORIGINAL MESSAGE] This is either weirdly difficult to find or I just don't know what phrases to look for. What I need is, in my mind, quite straight-forward; I need a program that is capable of performing the following tasks: 1) Take N SVG files in 2) Allow me to stitch them together into a new SVG file 3) Allow me to visually arrange the aforementioned SVG files as I see fit. So, say I have an SVG file looking like a notepad and I have 4 SVG files I want to use as overlays: I want to put each "overlay" SVG file in a different corner of the Notepad one and THEN use that as an SVG. This is, of course, a contrived example but depicts my need perfectly. There is, of course, nuance here: for example, this software should make multi-selection easy and I should be able to use that multi-selection to set width and height of every single overlay, so that they look right in context of the other image and uniform compared to each other. Anything for Mac or PC is fine, I don't mind. Do you know of anything? [/ORIGINAL MESSA
Well, a quick google search: svg merge app - Google Search[^] and the first result was: SVG Merge Software[^]. If not suitable, there are more solution in that search.

I'm confused? Do you want code or software? If it is software then any svg editing software should allow you to do that. I've used Inkscape to embed other svg's in an svg. The layers, make things on top of one another and they are resizable. If you are looking for code or something that can always put svg1.svg in the top right hand corner of main.svg in an automated way, I don't have a suggestion. I'm not sure what you are after.
Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.

All of your posts so far have been picked up by the automated system and passed for review - I let them through. It happens sometimes - I think it picks people at random occasionally - but it learns for the results so it should release you from "always moderate" status soon.

Xara Designer handles svg, but I don't know if it does what you want. You can choose a selection of items in it and resize and place them on However you want. It isn’t free. [Xara Photo & Graphic Designer+](https://www.xara.com/photo-graphic-plus/)

Why wouldn't any SVG editor allow one create one SVG image and then add another one in (paste it on top)? Certainly that is what I expect to happen with other image formats. And my simple uses allows me to do that. Is there something special (significantly so) versus any other image format that would prevent it? Not much of a graphics person so I wouldn't know.

I have not messed with SVG for a long time, but it seems that you should be able to convert each original SVG file into a group in your target SVG. SVG might even support nesting other SVGs now, but you would need to adjust the extents. You might be able to come up with a single fixed SVG that includes four other SVGs in the pattern you want. Just copy paste the SVG and change the include names. Here is an advanced example of nested SVGs that works on my iPhone.
