PlutoSVG

PlutoSVG is a compact and efficient SVG rendering library written in C. It is specifically designed for parsing and rendering SVG documents embedded in OpenType fonts, providing an optimal balance between speed and minimal memory usage. It is also suitable for rendering scalable icons.

Basic Usage

#include <plutosvg.h>

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    plutosvg_document_t* document = plutosvg_document_load_from_file("camera.svg", -1, -1);
    if(document == NULL) {
        printf("Unable to load: camera.svg\n");
        return -1;
    }

    plutovg_surface_t* surface = plutosvg_document_render_to_surface(document, NULL, -1, -1, NULL, NULL, NULL);
    plutovg_surface_write_to_png(surface, "camera.png");
    plutosvg_document_destroy(document);
    plutovg_surface_destroy(surface);
    return 0;
}

Integrating with FreeType

#include <plutosvg.h>

#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
#include FT_MODULE_H

int main(void)
{
    FT_Library library;

    // Initialize the FreeType library
    if(FT_Init_FreeType(&library)) {
        // Handle error
        return -1;
    }

    // Set PlutoSVG hooks for the SVG module
    if(FT_Property_Set(library, "ot-svg", "svg-hooks", plutosvg_ft_svg_hooks())) {
        // Handle error
        return -1;
    }

    // Your code here

    // Clean up
    FT_Done_FreeType(library);
    return 0;
}
