Inkscape Open Symbols

Symbol libraries are sets of SVG symbols located in one SVG document. For the more technical audience, Inkscape searches for any valid SVG file with symbols (<symbol> element) in your system configuration directory (typically share/inkscape)

Why use Inkscape Open Symbols?

Inkscape 0.91 includes just five example libraries: Logic Symbols, AIGA/DOT Transportation Symbols, Map Symbols, Flow Chart Shapes, and Word Balloons (made by Martin Owens and Tavmjong Bah).

Inkscape Open Symbols adds a whole lot more!

How do I install Inkscape Open Symbols?

  1. Grab the icon libraries you need by cloning the repo or downloading the ZIP. You can also save the SVG files to your system directly from github.
  2. Copy the individual SVG files into your Inkscape share directoy (typically share/inkscape) under the symbols folder. If it's not there, create it.
    • For OS X and Linux, the local user directory is ~/.config/inkscape/symbols.
    • For Windows, the directory is:
      • %PROGRAMFILES%\Inkscape\share\symbols. (64 bits)
      • %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Inkscape\share\symbols. (32 bits)
  3. Launch Inkscape (close it first if it's already running).
  4. Open Symbols from Object > symbols or press Ctrl+Shift+Y. You should see all the Material Design Icons sets as well as Octicons in the "Symbol set" dropdown.

Available in Arch Linux and derivated through AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/inkscape-open-symbols-git/

How can I request new symbols?

Please fill out an issue and provide a SVG reference. If available and well created, it will be fast to generate.

Why not do it from the UI?

It is perfectly fine to use the Inkscape UI for library development, but they won't be as useful for developers as it is well generated, minimized and packed for use in production development in some cases.Some icons need to be SVG processed in order to be fully useful for both for designers and developers.

If you don't need to use it for web development you can watch this cool UI creation video: Creating symbol libraries in Inkscape

How can I contribute?

Pull Requests are more than welcome for your favorite open source icon sets. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any help or mentorship.
