DeCard64

DeCard project (Delphi)

Program allows to create set of the similar cards using template - rapid prototyping followed by improvement.

Template is SVG file with some expansions. Result - png/svg/pdf/jpg

Each cards-project is stored in a separate directory and consists of:

• SVG-template;
• text table (delimited with tabs);
• subdirectory with pictures;
• subdirectory local fonts;
• can include an additional library of SVG-elements (clipart).

These names of files and directories are stored in XML-project file.

The basic principle: there are no "drag and drop" actions, only "text of this table cell is... ":

• wrapped text in this area
• filename of picture
• color, font size, scale (any SVG attribute)
