| ;; I wrote up a quick + dirty function to get me a preview of the SVG I'm editing: | |
| (defun refresh-svg-preview () | |
| (interactive) | |
| (let ((oldbuf (current-buffer))) | |
| (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*svg-preview*") | |
| (fundamental-mode) | |
| (erase-buffer) | |
| (insert-buffer-substring oldbuf) | |
| (image-mode)))) | |
| ;; plus I've a keybinding to start/stop automatically updating the preview on save: | |
| (global-set-key '[(ctrl c) (ctrl %)] | |
| (lambda () | |
| (interactive) | |
| (if (member 'refresh-svg-preview after-save-hook) | |
| (progn | |
| (remove-hook 'after-save-hook 'refresh-svg-preview t) | |
| (message "No longer previewing on save.")) | |
| (progn | |
| (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'refresh-svg-preview nil t) | |
| (message "Previewing this SVG on save."))))) |
