Package Exports

rsvg

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (rsvg) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Node.JS Binding for LibRSVG

LibRSVG is a SVG rendering library, which parses SVG files and renders them in various formats. The formats include:

PNG
PDF
SVG
Raw memory buffer image

Basic Usage

Here is a simple example. Look in index.js for more documentation.

var Rsvg = require('rsvg').Rsvg;
var fs = require('fs');

// Create SVG render instance.
var svg = new Rsvg();

// When finishing reading SVG, render and save as PNG image.
svg.on('finish', function() {
  console.log('SVG width: ' + svg.width);
  console.log('SVG height: ' + svg.height);
  fs.writeFile('tiger.png', svg.render({
    format: 'png',
    width: 600,
    height: 400
  }).data);
});

// Stream SVG file into render instance.
fs.createReadStream('tiger.svg').pipe(svg);
