Hello,

I am using Image Magick to convert a svg file to a gif file with the following command in my php script:
exec("convert shapes.svg /home/bioinfor/public_html/tmp/shapes.gif");

The conversion is done but when I compare the svg file and the gif file there is a big problem (Bug ?). indeed the text in the svg file is not in the gif file.

Here is the original svg file :
http://www.bioinformatics.fr//test5/shapes.svg

Here is the final gif file :
http://www.bioinformatics.fr//tmp/shapes.gif


So is there a way to get a final gif file that have the text that was in the initial svg file.
Is it a bug ?

Thanks in advance.

Install the RSVG delegate library and rebuild ImageMagick. Without the RSVG library SVG rendering reverts to the ImageMagick internal renderer which does a good job but is missing some features as you already experienced.

Thanks for the fast reply.
I wil check with my webserver host "MavenHosting" if they can fix it.

Dear Magick,

I you suggested to me I ask people from Mavenhosting to instal RSVG.
They are very fast and sent me this message: "We have setup RSVG on your server.Please check and confirm."

I checked but the result is still the same : The words presents in the initial svg file are missing in the final gif file. Only the shapes are nicely converted. You can check again these two links.
Original : http://www.bioinformatics.fr/test5/shapes.svg
Final : http://www.bioinformatics.fr/tmp/shapes.gif

So I have two questions :
1° How can I check is the RSVG is well installed ?
2° Can someone with Imagemagick and RSVG installed, could check if he succeed to generate a final gif file with the words that are in the initial svg file.

Thanks in advance for your help and sorry to bother you.

Not only do you need to install RSVG but RSVG developer and then your must reconfigure ImageMagick and reinstall. To verify type

• identify -list format

and you should get this:

• SVG SVG rw+ Scalable Vector Graphics (RSVG 2.22.3)

Hello,

No need to send me a reply. I got the solution.
Now it works great using the rsvg command instead of convert.

thanks a lot for your nice siggestions.

Fred

convert will use the rsvg library, if ImageMagick was compiled with the RSVG development package installed.
