Hi,

I would like to use ImageMagick to convert an .SVG file containing JavaScript code to .PNG file. Is it possible? (why not?)

An example would be to get a rule_110.png (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_110 ) from

http://users.skynet.be/chricat/automate.svg

I can display it with Firefox and take a screenshot but I am then limited by my screen width.
(Another example would be to draw a scale on a picture like in

Thank you,

There is no way to know if Javascript code, if any, will ever finish running.

You are right (nobody knows if a Javascript program will ever end), but it is the same with Postcript files.

And I can 'convert' postscript files.

Note also that there is two methods of processing SVG. The internal MSVG which will definatally not handle Java script, and a external delegate library RSVG. I don't know if RSVG handles java script.

see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/draw/#svg

Thank you. (but neither msvg: nor rsvg: seem to handle JavaScript)

I'll probably have to use Postscript.
