Constructor

VipsImagesvgload

Declaration [src]

int
vips_svgload (
  const char* filename,
  VipsImage** out,
  ...
)

Description [src]

Optional arguments:

  • dpi: %gdouble, render at this DPI
  • scale: %gdouble, scale render by this factor
  • unlimited: %gboolean, allow SVGs of any size
  • stylesheet: %gchararray, custom CSS

Render a SVG file into a VIPS image. Rendering uses the librsvg library and should be fast.

Use dpi to set the rendering resolution. The default is 72. You can also scale the rendering by scale.

This function only reads the image header and does not render any pixel data. Rendering occurs when pixels are accessed.

SVGs larger than 10MB are normally blocked for security. Set unlimited to allow SVGs of any size.

A UTF-8 string containing custom CSS can be provided via stylesheet. During the CSS cascade, the specified stylesheet will be applied with a User Origin. This feature requires librsvg 2.48.0 or later.
