Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

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

the output png file is small like 200x200. it hasnt changed in size at all!

i googled around before posting again. some ppl said i have to install rsvg which i then did and it appears in my DELEGATES but after rebuilding ImageMagick the command still doenst work as it should. it used to work once like a year ago when i was playing with this software but now it wont. why?

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 noted.. please help me figure this out thx! and yes ive also tried to build their version of ImageMagick (6.7.6) but that also doesnt work.

MY STATS:
convert -list format | grep SVG
MSVG SVG rw+ ImageMagick's own SVG internal renderer
SVG SVG rw+ Scalable Vector Graphics (RSVG 2.40.1)
SVGZ SVG rw+ Compressed Scalable Vector Graphics (RSVG 2.40.1)


STATS ON HOSTGATOR SERVER:

convert -list format | grep SVG
MSVG SVG rw+ ImageMagick's own SVG internal renderer
SVG SVG rw+ Scalable Vector Graphics (XML 2.7.6)
SVGZ SVG rw+ Compressed Scalable Vector Graphics (XML 2.7.6)

You don't say what the command is doing wrong. But it might be corrected by putting "-density 180" before the input file, not after it.

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?

Perhaps it would be better if you posted your image (to some place such as dropbox.com) and put the URL here, so we can see what you are trying to do. -trim will trim any constant area at the sides of the image. If it is not constant, then you need to use -fuzz XX% to get nearby colors. -background none, does nothing here. If you want to make some image colors into transparent, then use -fuzz XX% -fill somecolor -transparent. Also you should add +repage afte the -trim.

ok here is the svg file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tmk80f5ci7gyv ... e.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.png
works exactly how i want it to but only on my hostgator server as mentioned above...so... i dont really get wuts going on??

This command works fine for me on IM 6.9.2.6 Q16 Mac OSX
Adjust the density as you might desire for the output size.

Your issue is likely due to either different SVG delegate libraries or versions on your two systems. You should choose inkscape, RSVG or MSVG in that order. I have RSVG 2.40.2 on my system. MSVG (XML) is the IM internal SVG reader and the lease capable and perhaps IM version dependent. You can see what you have, if you are on a recent version of IM by using
SVG SVG rw+ Scalable Vector Graphics (RSVG 2.40.2)

and see what is in the line for SVG

Also check your delegates from

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...

This is what I get:


Is that correct or same as you get?

Does disabling OpenMP help? Mine is currently disabled.

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 here

What do you get from
Is it possible you have more than one IM version on your system and are using some other version rather than 6.9.2.6?

What do you get from typing in a terminal window:
or

which -a convert

What version of libpng?
PNG* PNG rw- Portable Network Graphics (libpng 1.6.12)

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!!
