How to get the image in the xlink:href tag of an svg image to get converted to a png/jpg image using canvas's toDataURL .?

Question

The SVG image's xlink:href tag contains a path to the image,when i load the svg image in the browser,it properly displays the image.

When i convert the svg image using toDataURL,the converted jpg or png is empty.

`
image.src = data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,<svg%20xmlns="http:

var canvas = newCanvas(domNode);
canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(image, 0, 0);
canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg',1)
`

I dont know if the path in the xlink:href tag is an issue.

Answer 1

I was able to solve this by parsing each of the images using the toDataURL and then setting it to the href attribute :

var img = new Image();
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = this.width;
canvas.height = this.height;
// draw the loaded image
canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(this, 0, 0);
// set our <image>'s href attribute to the dataURL of our canvas
image.setAttributeNS(xlinkNS, 'href', canvas.toDataURL());
