how to split get_svg_images() or get each individual image or curve

[zdw1011781461]

I have a PDF file with images and curves in it. I use get_images() to get the image data but not the clipPath in SVG , How can I get the clipPath separately?

For this I would have to extend page.get_drawings(). Currently, I am simply ignoring any clippings.
So you would have to write your own analyzer of the page.get_svg_image() XML.

What you mean is get_svg_images parses each one by regular or other methods?

Yes, get_svg_image() is XML. You could use the lxml package.
Another approach is using the output of the MuPDF CLI tool mutool trace test.pdf. This also is XML. Actually both, get_svg_image() and get_drawings() are based on this.
Although SVG extraction is provided by MuPDF, whereas get_drawings() is my own making.
