Ok thx I didn't know that

neither worked for me, got awful results. and converting eps to svg created a 60MB svg file wtf lol?\ the first command created ugly jagged edges like it was rasterized. plus it didnt do wut i asked for. the bounding box remained the same size (really small). id like to see ur results, i dont know ...

Ok thx I'll try this out and report back, sorry for late reply busy with so many things (holiday season

Is it possible with imagemagick (ie. the convert command line tool) to center an image of an svg inside its bounding box? or crop the image to the bounding box somehow? if not then is there ANY tool out there (command line im looking for only) that can do this? ie. ghostscript, inkscape, etc. here ...

ok i finally got ur command to work! after trying to rebuild several times. i have no idea wut was special this time but it worked
thx for ur help!!

thats exactly what i want but im not getting that all! i have no clue why? i dunno whats OpenMP nor wut i does. im on Linux Mint 17.2 64 bit btw as stated earlier. am i missing some other delegates or something? shouldnt i only need RSVG and PNG which i do already have? i cant figure out the problem ...

i just tried your command and it still doesnt trim it and is still blurry..
i already listed all my details (delgates, versions,etc) in the first post above in case u didnt see. says everything. and i have RSVG 2.40.1 and same imagemagick version as u...

ok here is the svg file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tmk80f5ci7gyvcu/sample.svg?dl=0 btw i wanted to point out that putting -density before the svg filename DOES make the png bigger but i noticed its also blurry the Z! also this command: ./convert sample.svg -density 180 -background none -trim sample ...

ur right this:

./convert -density 180 sample.svg -background none -trim sample.png

makes it bigger which is good but it doesnt do the other parts -trim and -background none, how can i achieve this?

btw if i try to use the same command on my server at hostgator it works! so i check their stats (see below) first they dont even have RSVG listed in their DELEGATES and second their SVG says Scalable Vector Graphics (XML 2.7.6). XML not RSVG like with mine!: should this matter? just something i ...

As in a previous post i mentioned: I just installed the latest version of ImageMagick-6.9.2-6 from source on Linux Mint 17.2 x64 in a separate location btw (/home/im/). I'm getting a new problem running this command with convert: ./convert sample.svg -density 180 -background none -trim sample.png ...

nvm i just figured it out! the hex color needed to be in quotes! single or double doesnt matter but it worked! omg ive wasted 2 hrs trying to figure out the damn problem! :)) so just this worked: ./convert sample.png -background "#ff0000" sample1.png OR ./convert sample.png -background '#ff0000 ...

I just installed the latest version of ImageMagick-6.9.2-6 from source on Linux Mint 17.2 x64 in a separate location btw (/home/im/). I'm getting an error running this command with convert: ./convert sample.png -background #ff0000 sample1.png convert: missing an image filename `-background' @ error ...
