Changing default output format from `.png` to `.svg` #16

Open nicolas-arnold opened 4 years ago

nicolas-arnold commented 4 years ago

Changes:

Explanation: svg (scalable vector graphics) usually lead to a smaller file, while at the same time the fact of being a scalable image format, rather than rasterized, prevents pixalation. I think it should be default file format for such an application, as the graph might get pretty big, depending on the project one tries to inspect with it.

I've seen a few libraries outputting ~10MB .pngs with "nothing to see there" anyway. (The output I got with pycallgraph2 was ~1MB and readable, but pixalated.)

Thanks for maintaining this library. :)

I would like to bump this to get it included as the default .png suffers massively from pixilation at large sizes.

Bumping this again, png is too pixelated to be useable in any meaningful use cases.
