About

📓 Avalonia.Svg is a .net rendering engine for loading and displaying Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files in Avalonia applications. It provides a simple way to load and render SVG files as part of your UI.

🎓 Avalonia is a cross-platform .net UI framework.

📅 This library could be also available in WPF in future, not now.

🔔 Objects generated by this rendering engine are static and non-editable.

Features

✅ The Avalonia.Svg library supports a variety of features for loading and rendering SVG files, including:

• Loading SVG files from a svg data, svg file or a stream.
• Resolving external resources (such as images) referenced in the SVG file.
• Applying transformations (such as scaling, rotation, and translation) to the SVG image.
• Setting the fill and stroke colors of the SVG image.
• Clipping the SVG image to a specific area.

😔 While the Avalonia.Svg library supports a wide range of SVG features, there are some limitations to be aware of:

• The library does not support all SVG elements and attributes. In particular, some advanced features (such as filters and masks) are not currently supported.

• Animation and some other external feature of SVG are not supported, like resolving external resources (such as images) referenced in the SVG file.

• Performance may be impacted when rendering complex SVG files with a large number of elements or gradients. We have not made any performance optimization about it till now.

📅 Pattern, masker and mark are coming soon.
