ImageMagick 6 and 7 give different SVG size

[yoones]

Hi,

I'm trying to understand why, for the same SVG file, I find two different sizes depending on the operating system/imagemagick version I use.

File: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/mas ... s/icon.svg

With Debian 9.8/ImageMagick 6:

Code: Select all

Version: ImageMagick 6.9.7-4 Q16 x86_64 20170114 http://www.imagemagick.org

Code: Select all

./test/fixtures/files/icon.svg SVG 743x548 743x548+0+0 8-bit sRGB 9.44KB 0.000u 0:00.000

With Ubuntu/ImageMagick 7:

Code: Select all

./test/fixtures/files/icon.svg SVG 792x584 792x584+0+0 16-bit sRGB 1573B 0.000u 0:00.009

How come I find two different sizes? Is it related to ImageMagick or to something else?

From the SVG file, the correct size is 792x584 pixels.

I don't know why your v6 gives the wrong size. What command did you use? What delegate rasterized the SVG (MVG, or RSVG, or Inkscape)?

1/ Command: `identify ./test/fixtures/files/icon.svg`

2/ I don't know how it got rasterized (it's a file I found in the source code of the Ruby on Rails project).

IM can use different delegates for rasterizing SVG files. Which one did you use? If you have Inkscape on your system, ImageMagick will use that. Otherwise it might be the RSVG delegate or Imagemagick's own MSVG/XML delegate. Run

Code: Select all

convert -list format

look at the end of the line for SVG. What does it say? RSVG or XML?

I get 792 × 584 when using Inkscape on ImageMagick 6.9.10.40 and 7.0.8.40

It's XML.

`SVG SVG rw+ Scalable Vector Graphics (XML 2.9.4)`

I get the same 792 × 584 when using both Inkscape and MSVG/XML with IM 6.9.10.41 and IM 7.0.8.41.

I recommend that you upgrade and install Inkscape, since it is a better SVG renderer than MSVG/XML

Upgrading to IM 7 fixed the problem. Thank you for the help!
