        `svg|pipe` Transactions for existing SVG documents
        ==================================================
        
        `inject` data and SVG content into an existing document, keeping its structure intact.
        
        `extract` data and SVG content from an existing document (planned).
        
        `transfer` data, attributes, etc. between existing SVG elements (planned).
        
        
        Motivation
        ----------
        
        Graphics applications are often picky (extremely picky) about the formatting of graphics documents. In order to have SVG files interpreted by your/everybodies favourite vector graphics application, the file structure not only needs to follow the SVG specs, but should follow a precise structure of layers, ids, and other unwritten conventions.
        
        The project wants to facilitate transactions on existing documents for graphics-based workflows:
        
         + automated SVG generation (e.g. for data visualisation)
         + smooth integration with interactive vector graphics/CAD applications
         + automated data-import into complex pre-formatted graphics documents for visualisation
        
        
        Philosophy
        ----------
        
        `svg|pipe` not only uses SVG documents for import/export of graphical content into/from some existing stock of data. SVG documents are XML documents and can serve as data structures themselves.
        
        
        Requirements and Installation
        -----------------------------
        
        Currently under development using:
        
        * Python 3.7
        * Pytest 5.2.2.
        
        
        Tests
        -----
        
        
        ### run tests
        
        ```
        pytest
        ```
        
        
        ### visual inspection of test results
        
        To get a file output of the SVG content involved in the testing:
        + Set environment variable `SVGPIPE_TEST_SVG_OUT` to point to the desired output directory.
        + Make sure the directory/folder exists.
        
        After the test run, for each svg injection test there will be three SVG files:
        + `XXXX_test.svg` (before the injection)
        + `XXXX_result.svg` (what was actually the case after the injection)
        + `XXXX_expect.svg` (what should be the case after the injection)
