NAME

       Image::LibRSVG - Perl extension for librsvg

SYNOPSIS

	 use Image::LibRSVG;

	 ## static Methods
	 my $known_formats = Image::LibRSVG->getKnownFormats();
	 my $formats	   = Image::LibRSVG->getSupportedFormats();
	 my $isSupported   = Image::LibRSVG->isFormatSupported("tiff");

	 my $rsvg = new Image::LibRSVG();

	 $rsvg->convert("my.svg", "my.png" );
	 $rsvg->convertAtZoom("my.svg", "my.png", 1.5, 1.5 );
	 $rsvg->convertAtMaxSize("my.svg", "my.png", 200, 300 );
	 $rsvg->convertAtSize("my.svg", "my.png", 200, 300 );
	 $rsvg->convertAtZoomWithMax("my.svg", "my.png", 1.5, 1.5, 200, 300 );

	 $formats     = $rsvg->getSupportedFormats();
	 $isSupported = $rsvg->isFormatSupported("tiff");

	 $rsvg->loadImage( "my.svg" );

	 open( SVGFILE, "< my.svg" );
	 local( $/ ) ;
	 $rsvg->loadImageFromString( <SVGFILE> );
	 close SVGFILE;

	 $rsvg->saveAs( "my.png" );
	 $rsvg->saveAs( "my.jpg", "jpeg" );

	 $rsvg->loadImage( "my.svg", 0, { zoom => [ 1.5, 1.5 ] } );
	 $rsvg->saveAs( "zoomed.png" );

	 my $bitmap = $rsvg->getImageBitmap();

ABSTRACT

	 This module provides an Perl-Interface towards the gnome-lib
	 librsvg-2.

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides an Perl-Interface towards the gnome-lib librsvg-2 which is able to convert SVG(Scaleable Vector Graphics) into
       bitmapformats like (PNG,JPG,...). To which formats you can convert the svg-files depends on your gdk-pixbuf configuration. Still at least
       PNG and JPG should be available.

   EXPORT
       None by default.

   Methods
       Constructor

       o   new()

       static methods

       o   ArrayRef getKnownFormats()

	   returns all formats known to gdk-pixbuf

       o   ArrayRef getSupportedFormats()

	   returns all formats you can store your svg image into

       o   bool isFormatSupported( String format )

	   returns true if you can store your image in this format else false

       member methods

       o   bool loadImage( String svgfile[, int dpi=0, HashRef args] )

	   This is function provides a common call mechanism to for all functions below, the args-variable can hold the following values:

	   Case 1( = loadFromFile ):
		   undef

	   Case 2( = loadFromFile ):
		   empty hashref

	   Case 3( = loadFromFileAtZoom )
		   zoom->[0] ... x_zoom
		   zoom->[1] ... y_zoom

	   Case 4( = loadFromFileAtMaxSize ):
		   dimension->[0] ... x-size
		   dimension->[1] ... y-size

	   Case 5( = loadFromFileAtSize ):
		   dimension->[0] ... x-size
		   dimension->[1] ... y-size
		   dimension->[2] ... max-size-flag

	   Case 6( = loadFromFileAtZoomWithMax ):
		   zoom->[0] ........ x_zoom
		   zoom->[1] ........ y_zoom
		   dimension->[0] ... x-size
		   dimension->[1] ... y-size

       o   bool loadImageFromString( String svgfile[, int dpi=0, HashRef args] )

	   Loads the image from an String containing a plain SVG. For information about args see loadImage.

       o   bool loadFromFile(String svgfile,[int dpi=0])

       o   bool loadFromFileAtZoom( String svgfile, double x_zoom, double y_zoom[, int dpi=0] )

       o   bool loadFromFileAtMaxSize( String svgfile, int width, int height[, int dpi=0] )

       o   bool loadFromFileAtSize( String svgfile, int width, int height[, int dpi=0] )

       o   bool loadFromFileAtZoomWithMax( String svgfile, double x_zoom, double y_zoom, int width, int height[, int dpi=0] )

       o   bool loadFromString(String svgfile,[int dpi=0])

       o   bool loadFromStringAtZoom( String svgfile, double x_zoom, double y_zoom[, int dpi=0] )

       o   bool loadFromStringAtMaxSize( String svgfile, int width, int height[, int dpi=0] )

       o   bool loadFromStringAtSize( String svgfile, int width, int height[, int dpi=0] )

       o   bool loadFromStringAtZoomWithMax( String svgfile, double x_zoom, double y_zoom, int width, int height[, int dpi=0] )

       o   bool convert( String svgfile, String bitmapfile[, int dpi=0, String format="png", int quality=100] )

       o   bool convertAtZoom( String svgfile, String bitmapfile, double x_zoom, double y_zoom[, int dpi=0, String format="png", int quality=100]
	   )

       o   bool convertAtMaxSize( String svgfile, String bitmapfile, int width, int height[, int dpi=0, String format="png", int quality=100] )

       o   bool convertAtSize( String svgfile, String bitmapfile, int width, int  height[, int dpi=0, String format="png", int quality=100] )

       o   bool convertAtZoomWithMax( String svgfile, String bitmapfile, double x_zoom, double y_zoom, int width, int height[, int dpi=0, String
	   format="png", int quality=100] )

       o   bool saveAs( String filename, [ String type, String quality ] )

	   Saves the image to a file

       o   SV getBitmap( [ String type, String quality ] )

	   Saves the image to a scalar which can be passed on to other applications. This only return a useful value if you have compiled it with
	   a gdk-pixbuf greater than or equal to 2.4
