I did a short talk about using libRSVG and Cairo to render SVG images
(Scalable Vector Graphics, an open format for vector imagery) into SDL surfaces at the SVGOpen 2009 conference in Mountain View, Calif. yesterday. My talk includes 3 or 4 slides with the bare-bones bits of code I use in Tux Paint (my drawing program for kids), which folks out here might be interested in seeing. Slides in PDF format are here: http://tuxpaint.org/presentations/sdl_svg_svgopen2009_kendrick.pdf Tux Paint is GPL, but I believe I'm 100% responsible for the SVG-loading code in Tux Paint[1], and I'd love it if someone out there assembled it into a flexible LGPL-licensed library for SDL[2], or perhaps added it to SDL_image[3]. Enjoy! [1] There are actually two variations: one using libSVG, Cairo and svg-cairo, which I guess are deprecated, but which Tux Paint uses on older platforms, and one using libRSVG and Cairo, which is what Tux Paint uses on 'modern' platforms (and which renders the SVGs more correctly). [2] There has been at least one SDL+SVG library in the past, but I had trouble using it, or something, which is why I ended up rolling my own (twice!) [3] Keeping in mind that libRSVG depends on a lot of other libraries. :) -- -bill!

I was looking for SVG support as well, but as you noted in point 1, that is deprecated, and point 3, that is just too many other libs, and a huge PITA to get it to work on MSVC compilers. Have you seen/used ShivaVG http://sourceforge.net/projects/shivavg/ ? I am just curious as to what you have tried before, so I don't fall in the same holes you did.  _______________________________________________ SDL mailing list http://lists.libsdl.org/listinfo.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org |

I hadn't seen this. However, since I'm not using OpenGL in any way (and don't want that kind of dependency in Tux Paint), this isn't suitable. :) libRSVG is a pain in the butt, but we did get it working on multiple platforms (Windows XP/2000/Vista/7, Mac OS X, modern Linux distros). We fall-back to svg-cairo on older platforms (Win95/98/ME, older Linux distros), or fall back even further to "no SVG support" (on ancient Linux distros). -- -bill!
