Material icons : Two tone and other options

[meetdilip]

Hi, I hope you already know that Google Material icons are now available in the following variants.

1. Filled
2. Outlined
3. Rounded
4. Two Toned
5. Sharp

It would be great if we can have them as a part of Open Symbols. Thanks

There was a set of SVG sprites which were named " symbols ". I couldn't use it even after adding them to the usr/share/inkscape/symbols directory. They were shown as " unnamed " and no matter we select any from them, it showed the same " battery " icon set. Attaching the same.

Currently there is a Material Design Set https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-open-symbols/tree/master/material-design.
You should be able to just copy any of the svgs in that folder into the inkscape symbols folder and use it.

If you are updating symbols from Material Design, it would be nice if you put them under the same folder an reorganize it. Thanks!

Yes. I am trying to add other styles. I am already using the one that is available.

@Xaviju Can we discuss here ? ( if ok with you ).

@Xaviju can we move this one forward? I can also help out.

I think it basically requires to update all current Material Design Libraries in this repo to ensure that all SVG symbols have a fill and stroke value. Currently, it only have a fill value.
Its a lot of work and I cannot commit into this now but if @PanderMusubi or @meetdilip have more time go for it and I'l lbe happy to help.

My recommendation would be to check if material design has already a SVG sprite so can be copypasted. Other option is to download every icon and create the sprite using icomoon and just edit the final SVG sprite getting the missing partes from the SVG template we have in the repo

[PanderMusubi]

How can material-design-icons/sprites/svg-sprite/svg-sprite-action.svg be converted to inkscape-open-symbols/material-design/material-design-action.svg? Do you have a script for this?

I prefer first to upgrade the existing filled style and add other styles after that.

sort of related, a thumbs up for google/material-design-icons#1009

[PanderMusubi]

Some more thumbs up which are important for these icons:

• Current project status google/material-design-icons#901
• Outdated Font Files google/material-design-icons#786
• Is it possible to make a new release on npm google/material-design-icons#743

See 9494b3c

@yashpalgoyal1304 @qwazix This is not final. See line 17 and 18 in 2-update-material-design.sh

Does one of you know what the correct settings are, or does this differ per icon or icon set?
