I have to thank all of you guys.
You helped me a lot.
Mr. Bulia Byak, Jamie Kimberley, John Bintz and others.
You are all right. The Inkscape is a great software but not for
what I was
trying to do. The ideas that Kimberley and Bintz gave to me was
perfect.
ImageMagick was the right answer to my problem. I did this:
- I exported the entire SVG to a single PNG file. That gave me a
file with a
bit more than 19MB.
- I converted the PNG in a MPC file with ImageMagick, after a long
and very
careful reading of its documentation. This gave me a file almost
4GB long.
- Then I made a batch script, much more simpler than the other one,
to export
all the 29,232 parts that I needed.
Amaizing, it took less than 4 hours to export all parts. I loved
ImageMagick
and all its powerful. I already known it, but never occurs to me
that it could
do the job.
One minor thought I had was that this sounded like you *might* have a
case that would use a better solution. That is, sometimes creating
such a "huge" SVG is less efficient than creating many small or
medium ones and then exporting sections of those.
