C# API to Parse and Process SVG Files

Aspose.SVG for .NET is a flexible library for SVG file processing and is fully compatible with its specifications. API can easily load, save and convert SVG files as well as read and traverse the elements of files through its Document Object Model (DOM). API is independent of any other software and empowers developers to work with SVG files without going into the underlying details of the format.

using Aspose.Svg;
using Aspose.Svg.Saving;
using Aspose.Svg.Converters;
...

// Initialize an SVG document from a file
using (SVGDocument document = new SVGDocument("input.svg"))
{
    // Create an instance of the ImageSaveOptions class
    ImageSaveOptions pngSaveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions();

    // Convert SVG to PNG
    Converter.ConvertSVG(document, pngSaveOptions, "output.png");
}

using Aspose.Svg.ImageVectorization;
using Aspose.Svg.Saving;
...

// Initialize an instance of the ImageVectorizer class
ImageVectorizer vectorizer = new ImageVectorizer
{
    // Optionally set a configuration
    Configuration =
    {
        // Optionally create an instance of the PathBuilder class
        PathBuilder = new SplinePathBuilder
        {
            TraceSmoother = new ImageTraceSmoother(1),
            TraceSimplifier = new ImageTraceSimplifier(0.3f)
        },
        ColorsLimit = 25,
        LineWidth = 1
    }
};

// Vectorize image from a specified file
using (SVGDocument document = vectorizer.Vectorize(Path.Combine(DataDir, "horses.jpg")))
{
    // Save the vectorized image as SVG
    document.Save(Path.Combine(OutputDir, "horses-new.svg"));
}

using Aspose.Svg;
using Aspose.Svg.Rendering;
using Aspose.Svg.Rendering.Pdf;
...

// Initialize SVG documents from files to merge later
using (SVGDocument document1 = new SVGDocument("input1.svg"))
using (SVGDocument document2 = new SVGDocument("input2.svg"))
using (SVGDocument document3 = new SVGDocument("input3.svg"))
{
    // Create an instance of SvgRenderer
    using (SvgRenderer renderer = new SvgRenderer())
    {
        // Create an instance of PdfDevice
        using (PdfDevice device = new PdfDevice("output.pdf"))
        {
            // Merge all SVG documents into a single PDF file
            renderer.Render(device, document1, document2, document3);
        }
    }
}
