APPENDIX 4
SVG Templates for the Sheets
It is possible to create your own layouts for the bracket sheets. Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is
a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for two-dimensional vector graphics. SVG
text file content is easy to read. An example text field could look like this:
<text x=”200” y=”330”
style=”font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-family:Sans”>
Hello, world!
</text>
You do not need to worry about the internals of the SVG format. Just create a sheet template like
any PowerPoint presentation although the software must be SVG capable. Inkscape is an easy to
use and free program. Adobe Illustrator misses some features but is usable.
File Names
You may use default sheet layouts and your own SVG layouts mixed:
•
Create SVG files for the chosen categories.
•
Copy the SVG files to an empty folder.
•
Select from the JudoShiai menu Preferences → Sheet Layout → SVG Templates. Choose
the folder with the SVG files. Remember to check the box “Use SVG Templates”.
JudoShiai uses your file for the layout if it exists, otherwise it uses the internal default layout.
SVG files must have certain names that contain three numbers. Name format:
<competition system>-<competitor count>-<page number>.svg
The first number is a code for the competition system, the second is the number of players and the
third is the page number. For the pools the number of players is the exact number, but for the
knock out systems the number is the maximum number of competitors for the sheet (8, 16, 32, 64,
128). You can have as many pages for one category as you wish (each page is its own file).
Competition systems are listed in the following table:
