convert svg2png on windows

[marcusx]

Hi everyone!

I am absolutly new to IM and whant to convert a svg file to an png or jpg but I get this error:
Non-conforming drawing primitive definition `1.'

Code: Select all

convert -size 100x100 text.svg test.png

Does this mean that the svg file is not valid? Will I have to install some additional modules? I found something that this is neccesarry but there are only some linux sources. Will I need somthing additional for the windows version, too?
Thanks for your help!

regards marcus

I am no expert on the use of SVG, but I think its file should have a definition within it to say how big to make the image. So remove the -size 100x100 as that usually needs to be followed by xc:"some color"

convert text.svg test.png

that was my first try, but I got a message that I have to provide a size

Without seeing the offending SVG image is it imposible to say what is the problem.

There was a probelm with SVG dicivered recently in that some SVG were not parsed correctly in determining the output width and height. Those values is specified in an initial <svg ...> tag in the SVG image. The new IM point release just release will have that problem fixed, if it is that problem.

Note that there are two SVG convertsion methods available. The built-in (and incomplete) MSVG method, and the RSVG whcih calls an external RSVG library to render the SVG image as a raster. Most likely you are using the former.

You can find out by checking the output of

Code: Select all

convert -list configure

and looking for rsvg on the "DELEGATES" line.
