🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+
OpenAI API key
Poetry (recommended) or pip

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/CintraAI/svg-designer.git
cd svg-designer

# Install dependencies with Poetry
poetry install

# Or with pip
pip install -e .

Basic Usage

import asyncio
from svg_designer.svg_generator import SVGGenerator
from svg_designer.models import SVGGenerationRequest

async def generate_logo():
    generator = SVGGenerator()
    
    request = SVGGenerationRequest(
        api_key="your-openai-api-key-here",  # Pass API key as parameter
        description="modern coffee cup logo for a cafe",
        style="minimalist",
        color_palette="monochrome",
        size="512x512",
        vector_quality="medium",
        preprocess=True
    )
    
    result = await generator.generate_svg(request)
    
    if result['success']:
        with open('coffee_logo.svg', 'w') as f:
            f.write(result['variants'][0]['svg'])
        print("✅ Logo generated: coffee_logo.svg")
    else:
        print(f"❌ Generation failed: {result['error']}")

# Run the example
asyncio.run(generate_logo())

MCP Server Usage

# Start the MCP server
poetry run python mcp_server.py

# Or run with specific configuration
poetry run python mcp_server.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

The MCP server provides these tools:

generate_svg_from_description: Generate SVG from text description
convert_image_to_svg: Convert existing images to SVG
clean_svg_artifacts: Clean and optimize SVG content
list_generation_options: Get available options and parameters

📖 How It Works

Generation Pipeline

Text Processing → Optimize description for AI image generation
AI Image Generation → Create high-quality raster image via OpenAI DALL-E
Image Preprocessing → Apply noise reduction and color simplification
Vectorization → Convert to SVG using VTracer with quality settings
SVG Cleaning → Remove artifacts and optimize for production use

Advanced Preprocessing

# Configure preprocessing for optimal results
request = SVGGenerationRequest(
    description="geometric mountain logo",
    preprocess=True,
    preprocess_colors=10,    # K-means cluster count (4-20)
    preprocess_window=5,     # Majority filter window (3, 5, 7)
    preprocess_passes=2      # Filter passes (1-4)
)

Benefits:

15-40% smoother vector paths
Reduced noise in final SVG output
Better scalability at different zoom levels
Cleaner geometric shapes

Style & Quality Options

# Style variations
styles = {
    "minimalist": "Clean, simple designs",
    "tech": "Modern, angular, technology-focused", 
    "creative": "Artistic, unique compositions",
    "abstract": "Geometric, conceptual designs",
    "classic": "Traditional, timeless aesthetics"
}

# Color palettes
palettes = {
    "monochrome": "Black, white, grays",
    "bold": "High contrast, saturated colors",
    "vibrant": "Bright, energetic color schemes", 
    "pastel": "Soft, muted tones",
    "neutral": "Earth tones, professional colors"
}

# Quality settings
quality_modes = {
    "fast": "~2-5s generation, basic detail",
    "medium": "~5-10s generation, balanced quality",
    "high": "~10-20s generation, maximum detail"
}
