This is a simple tool to convert svg files into paths. It compliments pathicons very well. You can also use the paths with raphael directly.
npm install svg2path -g
svg2path some.svg
This will create a file some.path
svg2path http://thenounproject.com/categories/people/
Creates a path file for each of icons in the people category.
You can build up a an icon sheet to be used in an application. This is a sheet.json file where the name of the icon is the key and the path is the value.
svg2path http://thenounproject.com/categories/people/ -s sheet.json
This will write all the icons to the sheet.json file.
