PGFornament – Draw vector ornaments with PGF/

This package allows the drawing of vector ornaments with PGF/. The macro \pgfornament places an ornament anywhere in a document, alone or inside a picture, with options to set its size, colour, opacity, symmetry and anchor. Further macros draw lines of ornaments, ornaments between two nodes or along a path, and frames around pages or texts.

Several families of ornaments are available:

  • vectorian: 196 ornaments (symbols, corners, lines, animals, hands…), inspired by psvectorian;
  • pgfhan: 78 Chinese traditional motifs and patterns by LianTze Lim and Chennan Zhang;
  • celtic: 16 Celtic knots, released in the public domain;
  • am: a small example family showing how to create new ornaments.

The bundle also contains the package tikzrput, which provides the \rput macro similar to the one of PSTricks, and a Python script, svg2pgf.py, which converts svg, eps or pdf drawings into new families of ornaments.
