Converting Tikz code to PGF












1















I would like to convert an SVG image (from inkscape) into PGF so that I can call the image using include package{pgfornaments}.



Using svg2tikz (Save As > Latex with PStricks and Save As > Tikz code), but I cannot figure out how to convert that output to PGF code that can be used by pgfornaments.



Is there a converter that will strip out the Tikz front-end and render PGF code?
Or, are there settings in Export > Export to Tikz path that will render as PGF code?



Sample of my output (as Tikz code)

    I believe there is an automatic solution but if not you merely need to convert curveto to pgfpathcurveto and round brackets to curly ones.
