Does anyone have any good experience with one of the various open source libraries for SVG graphics for C++ or C ?

I am using Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 7.

Thanks,
Lynn

Anti-Grain Geometry supports SVG. There is an SVG viewer demo:

Richard, is this really such a common occurrence that you
have to placard every post you make with a stand-out bulletin?

I've never had one person ever also email me a reply of their usenet
post. I find it difficult to believe that it's so much an issue with
your inbox that it truly warrants the perpetual note.

Best regards,

NanoSVG.

A copy is in the Baby X resource compiler.
(I've also remoulded it into an HTML canvas-compatible graphics
context for Baby X. It's essentially independent of Baby X so you
can just take the graphic context if you wish).

Thanks but this appears to be VGA library for DOS.

Thanks ! I will look into it.

We are looking into adding SVG as a new shape library format for our homegrown diagram toolkit that we have been using since the 1980s.

Ideally, I would like to have SVG, PNG, BMP, JPEG, etc.

Sincerely,

As usual, I failed to mention that I did find a StackOverflow posting addressing this topic, "Render a vector graphic (.svg) in C++":

Thanks,

Wow, Nano SVG is very impressive. example2.c is an SVG to PNG converter,
the PNG writer is 500 LOC and the whole Nano SVG lib is <5kLOC.

Thanks for pointing there!

You're welcome to raid the Baby X resource compiler.
It handles all those formats.
