How to convert an svg to a png (or gif) image?

[Mark]

I know this has been asked before, just wondered if there were any pure-Go solutions?

[Mohamed Attahri]

I’d be very surprised if there was. I don’t see why anyone would commit the insane amount of resources to build an SVG pipeline for anything other than a browser or a graphics editor.

Your best bet is to interface with a command line tool (e.g. imagemagik) using stdin and stdout.

Also there's a project which compiles C code to Go - ISTR it was used to build a pure Go version of Sqlite.  Presumably the same approach could be applied to an image processing library.

ccgo/v3 is being slowly phased out. ccgo/v4 is not yet released, but
maybe it can already transpile a C SVG to PNG code base and I'd like
to try that to at least know where it fails.

A quick search found no such C code, but that might be my fault. Does
anyone know about a pure C SVG to PNG lib/program?
