I've been working on converting svg's into several other formats using ImageMagick and so far, gradients have been pretty pig-headed.

Here's the SVG I created, with a diagonal gradient.

And here's the converted png, somehow with a vertical gradient:

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S., This is one of a growing number of problems I've had with converting SVG's with gradients, and I posted this in hopes of starting with the smallest problem first. I'm new to these forums, and to keep with good etiquette, when I post new (but related) problems, should I post them in separate posts? Or as replies to a previous topic I created on the subject?

Many thanks.

We have infa-structure for gradients but it is not complete yet. If you have a modern install of librsvg, ImageMagick will detect it at build time and convert all SVG using it instead of the built-in renderer.

Magick (cristy), is there some easy way to determine if the IM a user has, is using the librsvg library, or using the builtin svg->mvg conversion?

That is other than trying to convert a SVG with a gradient!
For example my own IM returns a diagonal gradient, so must be using librsvg (which is installed and I do built Im myself), but that is not simple test.

For the ImageMagick 6.3.3.1 release, we'll associate librsvg with the SVG tag for the identify -list format command. If its not mentioned, ImageMagick is using the internal MVG renderer.
