RsvgHandle

RsvgHandle — Loads SVG data into memory.

Types and Values

Description

This is the main entry point into the librsvg library. An RsvgHandle is an object that represents SVG data in memory. Your program creates an RsvgHandle from an SVG file, or from a memory buffer that contains SVG data, or in the most general form, from a GInputStream that will provide SVG data.

Librsvg supports reading SVG 1.1 data. It also supports SVGZ files, which is just an SVG stream compressed with the GZIP algorithm.

The "base file" and resolving references to external files

When you load an SVG, librsvg needs to know the location of the "base file" for it. This is so that librsvg can determine the location of referenced entities. For example, say you have an SVG in /foo/bar/foo.svg and that it has an image element like this:

<image xlink:href="resources/foo.png" .../>

In this case, librsvg needs to know the location of the toplevel /foo/bar/foo.svg so that it can generate the appropriate reference to /foo/bar/resources/foo.png.

Security and locations of referenced files

When processing an SVG, librsvg will only load referenced files if they are in the same directory as the base file, or in a subdirectory of it. That is, if the base file is /foo/bar/baz.svg, then librsvg will only try to load referenced files (from SVG's "image" element, for example, or from content included through XML entities) if those files are in /foo/bar/* or in /foo/bar/*/.../*. This is so that malicious SVG files cannot include files that are in a directory above.


Loading an SVG with GIO

If you have a GFile that stands for an SVG file, you can simply call rsvg_handle_new_from_gfile_sync() to load an RsvgHandle from it.

Alternatively, if you have a GInputStream, you can use rsvg_handle_new_from_stream_sync().

Both of those methods allow specifying a GCancellable, so the loading process can be cancelled from another thread.


Loading an SVG without GIO

You can load an RsvgHandle from a simple filename or URI with rsvg_handle_new_from_file(). Note that this is a blocking operation; there is no way to cancel it if loading a remote URI takes a long time.

Alternatively, you can create an empty RsvgHandle with rsvg_handle_new() or rsvg_handle_new_with_flags(). The first function is equivalent to using RSVG_HANDLE_FLAGS_NONE on the second one. These functions give you back an empty RsvgHandle, which is ready for you to feed it SVG data. You can do this with rsvg_handle_write() and rsvg_handle_close().


Resolution of the rendered image (dots per inch, or DPI)

SVG images can contain dimensions like "5 cm" or "2 pt" that must be converted from physical units into device units. To do this, librsvg needs to know the actual dots per inch (DPI) of your target device.

The recommended way to set the DPI is to use rsvg_handle_set_dpi() or rsvg_handle_set_dpi_x_y() on an RsvgHandle before rendering it.

Alternatively, you can use rsvg_set_default_dpi() or rsvg_set_default_dpi_x_y() before creating any RsvgHandle objects. These functions will make RsvgHandle objects created afterwards to have the default DPI value you specified.


Rendering

The preferred way to render an already-loaded RsvgHandle is to use rsvg_handle_render_cairo(). Please see its documentation for details.

Alternatively, you can use rsvg_handle_get_pixbuf() to directly obtain a GdkPixbuf with the rendered image. This is simple, but it does not let you control the size at which the SVG will be rendered. It will just be rendered at the size which rsvg_handle_get_dimensions() would return, which depends on the dimensions that librsvg is able to compute from the SVG data.

Parameters

handle

An RsvgHandle

 

rsvg_handle_set_size_callback ()

void
rsvg_handle_set_size_callback (RsvgHandle *handle,
                               RsvgSizeFunc size_func,
                               gpointer user_data,

rsvg_handle_set_size_callback is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Set up a cairo matrix and use rsvg_handle_render_cairo() instead. You can call rsvg_handle_get_dimensions() to figure out the size of your SVG, and then scale it to the desired size via Cairo. For example, the following code renders an SVG at a specified size, scaled proportionally from whatever original size it may have had:

void
render_scaled_proportionally (RsvgHandle *handle, cairo_t cr, int width, int height)
{
    RsvgDimensionData dimensions;
    double x_factor, y_factor;
    double scale_factor;

    rsvg_handle_get_dimensions (handle, &dimensions);

    x_factor = (double) width / dimensions.width;
    y_factor = (double) height / dimensions.height;

    scale_factor = MIN (x_factor, y_factor);

    cairo_scale (cr, scale_factor, scale_factor);

    rsvg_handle_render_cairo (handle, cr);
}

Sets the sizing function for the handle . This function is called right after the size of the image has been loaded. The size of the image is passed in to the function, which may then modify these values to set the real size of the generated pixbuf. If the image has no associated size, then the size arguments are set to -1.

Parameters

An RsvgHandle

 

size_func

A sizing function, or NULL.
