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 can load SVG images and render them to Cairo surfaces, using a mixture of SVG's [static mode] and [secure static mode]. Librsvg does not do animation nor scripting, and can load references to external data only in some situations; see below.

Librsvg supports reading SVG 1.1 data, and is gradually adding support for features in SVG 2. Librsvg also supports SVGZ files, which are 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:

1
<image 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.

The full set of rules for deciding which URLs may be loaded is as follows; they are applied in order. A referenced URL will not be loaded as soon as one of these rules fails:

  1. All data: URLs may be loaded. These are sometimes used to include raster image data, encoded as base-64, directly in an SVG file.
  2. All other URL schemes in references require a base URL. For example, this means that if you load an SVG with rsvg_handle_new_from_data() without calling rsvg_handle_set_base_uri(), then any referenced files will not be allowed (e.g. raster images to be loaded from other files will not work).
  3. If referenced URLs are absolute, rather than relative, then they must have the same scheme as the base URL. For example, if the base URL has a "file" scheme, then all URL references inside the SVG must also have the "file" scheme, or be relative references which will be resolved against the base URL.
  4. If referenced URLs have a "resource" scheme, that is, if they are included into your binary program with GLib's resource mechanism, they are allowed to be loaded (provided that the base URL is also a "resource", per the previous rule).
  5. Otherwise, non-file schemes are not allowed. For example, librsvg will not load http resources, to keep malicious SVG data from "phoning home".
  6. A relative URL must resolve to the same directory as the base URL, or to one of its subdirectories. Librsvg will canonicalize filenames, by removing ".." path components and resolving symbolic links, to decide whether files meet these conditions.

Loading an SVG with GIO

This is the easiest and most resource-efficient way of loading SVG data into an RsvgHandle.

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 from memory

If you already have SVG data in a byte buffer in memory, you can create a memory input stream with g_memory_input_stream_new_from_data() and feed that to rsvg_handle_new_from_stream_sync().

Note that in this case, it is important that you specify the base_file for the in-memory SVG data. Librsvg uses the base_file to resolve links to external content, like raster images.


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. Also, note that this method does not let you specify RsvgHandleFlags.

Otherwise, loading an SVG without GIO is not recommended, since librsvg will need to buffer your entire data internally before actually being able to parse it. The deprecated way of doing this is by creating a handle with rsvg_handle_new() or rsvg_handle_new_with_flags(), and then using rsvg_handle_write() and rsvg_handle_close() to feed the handle with SVG data. Still, please try to use the GIO stream functions instead.


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. You can call rsvg_handle_set_dpi() or rsvg_handle_set_dpi_x_y() on an RsvgHandle to set the DPI before rendering it.


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.


API ordering

Due to the way the librsvg API evolved over time, an RsvgHandle object is available for use as soon as it is constructed. However, not all of its methods can be called at any time. For example, an RsvgHandle just constructed with rsvg_handle_new() is not loaded yet, and it does not make sense to call rsvg_handle_get_dimensions() on it just at that point.

The documentation for the available methods in RsvgHandle may mention that a particular method is only callable on a "fully loaded handle". This means either:

Before librsvg 2.46, the library did not fully verify that a handle was in a fully loaded state for the methods that require it. To preserve compatibility with old code which inadvertently called the API without checking for errors, or which called some methods outside of the expected order, librsvg will just emit a g_critical() message in those cases.

New methods introduced in librsvg 2.46 and later will check for the correct ordering, and panic if they are called out of order. This will abort the program as if it had a failed assertion.

rsvg_set_default_dpi ()

void
rsvg_set_default_dpi (double dpi);

rsvg_set_default_dpi has been deprecated since version 2.42.3 and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function used to set a global default DPI. However, it only worked if it was called before any RsvgHandle objects had been created; it would not work after that. To avoid global mutable state, please use rsvg_handle_set_dpi() instead.

Do not use this function. Create an RsvgHandle and call rsvg_handle_set_dpi() on it instead.

Parameters

dpi

Dots Per Inch (aka Pixels Per Inch)

 

Since: 2.8


rsvg_set_default_dpi_x_y ()

void
rsvg_set_default_dpi_x_y (double dpi_x,
                          double dpi_y);

rsvg_set_default_dpi_x_y has been deprecated since version 2.42.3 and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function used to set a global default DPI. However, it only worked if it was called before any RsvgHandle objects had been created; it would not work after that. To avoid global mutable state, please use rsvg_handle_set_dpi() instead.

Do not use this function. Create an RsvgHandle and call rsvg_handle_set_dpi_x_y() on it instead.

Parameters

dpi_x

Dots Per Inch (aka Pixels Per Inch)

 

dpi_y

Dots Per Inch (aka Pixels Per Inch)

 

Since: 2.8


rsvg_handle_set_dpi ()

void
rsvg_handle_set_dpi (RsvgHandle *handle,
                     double dpi);

Sets the DPI at which the handle will be rendered. Common values are 75, 90, and 300 DPI.

Passing a number <= 0 to dpi will reset the DPI to whatever the default value happens to be, but since rsvg_set_default_dpi() is deprecated, please do not pass values <= 0 to this function.

Parameters

handle

An RsvgHandle

 

dpi

Dots Per Inch (i.e. as Pixels Per Inch)

 

Since: 2.8


rsvg_handle_set_dpi_x_y ()

void
rsvg_handle_set_dpi_x_y (RsvgHandle *handle,
                         double dpi_x,
                         double dpi_y);

Sets the DPI at which the handle will be rendered. Common values are 75, 90, and 300 DPI.

Passing a number <= 0 to dpi will reset the DPI to whatever the default value happens to be, but since rsvg_set_default_dpi_x_y() is deprecated, please do not pass values <= 0 to this function.

Parameters

handle

An RsvgHandle

 

dpi_x

Dots Per Inch (i.e. Pixels Per Inch)

 

dpi_y

Dots Per Inch (i.e. Pixels Per Inch)

 

Since: 2.8


rsvg_handle_new ()

RsvgHandle *
rsvg_handle_new (void);

Returns a new rsvg handle. Must be freed with g_object_unref . This handle can be used to load an image.

The preferred way of loading SVG data into the returned RsvgHandle is with rsvg_handle_read_stream_sync().

The deprecated way of loading SVG data is with rsvg_handle_write() and rsvg_handle_close(); note that these require buffering the entire file internally, and for this reason it is better to use the stream functions: rsvg_handle_new_from_stream_sync(), rsvg_handle_read_stream_sync(), or rsvg_handle_new_from_gfile_sync().

After loading the RsvgHandle with data, you can render it using Cairo or get a GdkPixbuf from it. When finished, free the handle with g_object_unref(). No more than one image can be loaded with one handle.

Note that this function creates an RsvgHandle with no flags set. If you require any of RsvgHandleFlags to be set, use any of rsvg_handle_new_with_flags(), rsvg_handle_new_from_stream_sync(), or rsvg_handle_new_from_gfile_sync().

Returns

A new RsvgHandle with no flags set.


rsvg_handle_new_with_flags ()

RsvgHandle *
rsvg_handle_new_with_flags (RsvgHandleFlags flags);

Creates a new RsvgHandle with flags flags . After calling this function, you can feed the resulting handle with SVG data by using rsvg_handle_read_stream_sync().

Parameters

flags

flags from RsvgHandleFlags

 

Returns

a new RsvgHandle.

rsvg_handle_write ()

gboolean
rsvg_handle_write (RsvgHandle *handle,
                   const guchar *buf,
                   gsize count,
                   GError **error);

rsvg_handle_write has been deprecated since version 2.46. and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use rsvg_handle_read_stream_sync() or the constructor functions rsvg_handle_new_from_gfile_sync() or rsvg_handle_new_from_stream_sync(). This function is deprecated because it will accumulate data from the buf in memory until rsvg_handle_close() gets called. To avoid a big temporary buffer, use the suggested functions, which take a GFile or a GInputStream and do not require a temporary buffer.

Loads the next count bytes of the image.

Before calling this function for the first time, you may need to call rsvg_handle_set_base_uri() or rsvg_handle_set_base_gfile() to set the "base file" for resolving references to external resources. SVG elements like <image> which reference external resources will be resolved relative to the location you specify with those functions.

Parameters

handle

an RsvgHandle

 

buf

pointer to svg data.

[array length=count][element-type guchar]

count

length of the buf buffer in bytes

 

error

a location to store a GError, or NULL.

[optional]

Returns

TRUE on success, or FALSE on error.


rsvg_handle_close ()

gboolean
rsvg_handle_close (RsvgHandle *handle,
                   GError **error);

rsvg_handle_close has been deprecated since version 2.46. and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use rsvg_handle_read_stream_sync() or the constructor functions rsvg_handle_new_from_gfile_sync() or rsvg_handle_new_from_stream_sync(). See the deprecation notes for rsvg_handle_write() for more information.

Closes handle , to indicate that loading the image is complete. This will return TRUE if the loader closed successfully and the SVG data was parsed correctly. Note that handle isn't freed until g_object_unref is called.

Parameters

handle

a RsvgHandle

 

error

a location to store a GError, or NULL.

[optional]

Returns

TRUE on success, or FALSE on error.

                                const char *id);

rsvg_handle_get_dimensions_sub has been deprecated since version 2.46. and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use rsvg_handle_get_geometry_for_layer() instead.

Get the size of a subelement of the SVG file. Do not call from within the size_func callback, because an infinite loop will occur.

This function depends on the RsvgHandle's DPI to compute dimensions in pixels, so you should call rsvg_handle_set_dpi() beforehand.

An RsvgHandle

 

Returns

This function always returns NULL.

[nullable]

Since: 2.4


rsvg_handle_get_desc ()

const char *
rsvg_handle_get_desc (RsvgHandle *handle);

                           GError **error);

Loads the SVG specified by data . Note that this function creates an RsvgHandle without a base URL, and without any RsvgHandleFlags. If you need these, use rsvg_handle_new_from_stream_sync() instead by creating a GMemoryInputStream from your data.

Parameters

data

The SVG data.

[array length=data_len]

data_len

The length of data , in bytes

 

error

return location for errors.

[optional]

Returns

A RsvgHandle or NULL if an error occurs.

Since: 2.14

RsvgHandle *
rsvg_handle_new_from_file (const gchar *filename,
                           GError **error);

Loads the SVG specified by file_name . Note that this function, like rsvg_handle_new(), does not specify any loading flags for the resulting handle. If you require the use of RsvgHandleFlags, use rsvg_handle_new_from_gfile_sync().

Parameters

filename

The file name to load, or a URI.

                            GError **error);

Sets a CSS stylesheet to use for an SVG document.

The css_len argument is mandatory; this function will not compute the length of the css string. This is because a provided stylesheet, which the calling program could read from a file, can have nul characters in it.

During the CSS cascade, the specified stylesheet will be used with a "User" origin.

Note that @import rules will not be resolved, except for data: URLs.

No-op. This function should not be called from normal programs.

Since: 2.36


rsvg_handle_free ()

void
rsvg_handle_free (RsvgHandle *handle);

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

Use g_object_unref() instead.

Frees handle .

RsvgSizeFunc ()

void
(*RsvgSizeFunc) (gint *width,
                 gint *height,
                 gpointer user_data);

RsvgSizeFunc has been deprecated since version 2.14. and should not be used in newly-written code.

Set up a cairo matrix and use rsvg_handle_render_cairo() instead. See the documentation for rsvg_handle_set_size_callback() for an example, and for the reasons for deprecation.

Function to let a user of the library specify the SVG's dimensions

Parameters

width

the width of the SVG.

[out]

height

the height of the SVG.

[out]

user_data

rsvg_handle_set_size_callback ()

void
rsvg_handle_set_size_callback (RsvgHandle *handle,
                               RsvgSizeFunc size_func,
                               gpointer user_data,
                               GDestroyNotify user_data_destroy);

rsvg_handle_set_size_callback has been deprecated since version 2.14. 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:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

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);
}

This function was deprecated because when the size_func is used, it makes it unclear when the librsvg functions which call the size_func will use the size computed originally, or the callback-specified size, or whether it refers to the whole SVG or to just a sub-element of it. It is easier, and unambiguous, to use code similar to the example above.

Sets the sizing function for the handle , which can be used to override the size that librsvg computes for SVG images. The size_func is called from the following functions:

Librsvg computes the size of the SVG being rendered, and passes it to the size_func , which may then modify these values to set the final size of the generated image.

Parameters

handle

An RsvgHandle

 

size_func

A sizing function, or NULL.

[nullable]

user_data

User data to pass to size_func , or NULL

 

user_data_destroy

Function to be called to destroy the data passed in user_data , or NULL.

RsvgLength

typedef struct {
    double   length;
    RsvgUnit unit;
} RsvgLength;

RsvgLength values are used in rsvg_handle_get_intrinsic_dimensions(), for example, to return the CSS length values of the width and height attributes of an <svg> element.

This is equivalent to CSS lengths.

It is up to the calling application to convert lengths in non-pixel units (i.e. those where the unit field is not RSVG_UNIT_PX) into something meaningful to the application. For example, if your application knows the dots-per-inch (DPI) it is using, it can convert lengths with unit in RSVG_UNIT_IN or other physical units.

Members

numeric part of the length

 

RsvgUnit unit;

Property Details

The “base-uri” property

  “base-uri”                 gchar *

Base URI for resolving relative references.

Owner: RsvgHandle

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: NULL


The “desc” property

  “desc”                     gchar *

SVG's description.

RsvgHandle:desc has been deprecated since version 2.36. and should not be used in newly-written code.

Reading this property always returns NULL.

Owner: RsvgHandle

Flags: Read

Default value: NULL


The “dpi-x” property

  “dpi-x”                    gdouble

Horizontal resolution in dots per inch.

Owner: RsvgHandle

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 0


The “dpi-y” property

  “dpi-y”                    gdouble

Vertical resolution in dots per inch.

Owner: RsvgHandle

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 0


The “em” property

  “em”                       gdouble

Exact width, in pixels, of the rendered SVG before calling the size callback as specified by rsvg_handle_set_size_callback().

RsvgHandle:em has been deprecated since version 2.46. and should not be used in newly-written code.

Reading each of the size properties causes the size of the SVG to be recomputed, so reading both the em and ex properties will cause two such computations. Please use rsvg_handle_get_intrinsic_dimensions() instead.

Owner: RsvgHandle

Flags: Read

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 0


The “ex” property

  “ex”                       gdouble

Exact height, in pixels, of the rendered SVG before calling the size callback as specified by rsvg_handle_set_size_callback().

RsvgHandle:ex has been deprecated since version 2.46. and should not be used in newly-written code.

Reading each of the size properties causes the size of the SVG to be recomputed, so reading both the em and ex properties will cause two such computations. Please use rsvg_handle_get_intrinsic_dimensions() instead.

Owner: RsvgHandle

Flags: Read

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 0


The “flags” property

  “flags”                    RsvgHandleFlags

Flags from RsvgHandleFlags.

Owner: RsvgHandle

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Since: 2.36


The “height” property

  “height”                   gint

Height, in pixels, of the rendered SVG after calling the size callback as specified by rsvg_handle_set_size_callback().

RsvgHandle:height has been deprecated since version 2.46. and should not be used in newly-written code.

For historical reasons, this property is of integer type, which cannot give the exact size of SVG images that are not pixel-aligned. Moreover, reading each of the size properties causes the size of the SVG to be recomputed, so reading both the width and height properties will cause two such computations. Please use rsvg_handle_get_intrinsic_dimensions() instead.

Owner: RsvgHandle

Flags: Read

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 0


The “metadata” property

  “metadata”                 gchar *

SVG's metadata

RsvgHandle:metadata has been deprecated since version 2.36. and should not be used in newly-written code.

Reading this property always returns NULL.

Owner: RsvgHandle

Flags: Read

Default value: NULL


The “title” property

  “title”                    gchar *

SVG's title.

RsvgHandle:title has been deprecated since version 2.36. and should not be used in newly-written code.

Reading this property always returns NULL.

Owner: RsvgHandle

Flags: Read

Default value: NULL


The “width” property

  “width”                    gint

Width, in pixels, of the rendered SVG after calling the size callback as specified by rsvg_handle_set_size_callback().

RsvgHandle:width has been deprecated since version 2.46. and should not be used in newly-written code.

For historical reasons, this property is of integer type, which cannot give the exact size of SVG images that are not pixel-aligned. Moreover, reading each of the size properties causes the size of the SVG to be recomputed, so reading both the width and height properties will cause two such computations.
