Hi all,
I wanted to know if some one ever heard of something I am looking for : an SVG to PNG convertion library under BSD license.
I guess this may not exist, as stuffs like handling fonts, text drawing and etc. are likely to be not a peace of cake. However, I am just asking about it, if ever someone ever heard about such a thing.
I do not know at all about Inkscape internals. Does Inkscape uses such a kind of library internally as an example ?
Have a nice day
Yannick
Seek for an SVG to PNG library
Re: Seek for an SVG to PNG library
There's Batik but it's Java - http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/
I also assume it's under an Apache License.

Re: Seek for an SVG to PNG library
Thanks for the point MicroUgly, this may be of interest for other readers in this forum, but not me: I was seeking for a binary and standalone library (preferably with a C or Pascal ABI for easier binding). Well, I may just left this personal project in a pending status for more time (was something dealing with UML and similar graphical formal languages).

Take a look for rsvg for Windows:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries ... rsvg/2.32/
You will also need to find rsvg-convert.exe application (from dev package). It's LGPL but may be enough.

I could test “rsvg-convert” on Windows with some SVG files, and was surprised : this really works. I though this would just work on very simple files or will crash; no, this works fine.
That's a good track, I will study it some later days.
Was lucky you were there
This is something I was looking for to draw diagrams for which graphviz was not really OK (SVG is more universal and flexible).
