Hello Inkscape developers!
Great work :)
I love svg & inkscape, and I'm currently playing with dynamically altering svgs (created with inkscape) under php. Now i am facing the problem of converting these svgs to raster graphics (png, jpg) using only php and gd on a web server.
I googled but did not find any approach in this direction. There is a gd extension for creating svgs from gd commands, but not the other way round.
Anyone know a possibility of doing this?
If there really is no such library yet, I am ready to take a stab at it myself. Do you think porting some inkscape code to php (of course preserving the GNU license) is a manageabel and promising approach?
I'd be grateful for any comments, links or reccomendations.
Regards, Tobias
P.S.: I have three reasons for wanting to convert from svg to raster before serving: Old browsers not supporting svg, dumb users not being able to handle them, and protecting original fully-scalable artwork.
