Thanks for sharing Peter. FWIW, there is already code in Galaxy to generate SVG from a workflow. See the gen_image function in web/controllers/workflow.py I think this code is used when workflows are included in the tool shed as well.
If your code is better in some way(s), please consider a pull request. It should be fairly straightforward to add an option to a workflow's menu to generate SVG for it. Best, J.
