SVG to Image Using SVGSalamander not rendering SVG correctly


I have worked for SVG image rendering for iText PDF document. to do this i used SVGSalamander for convert SVG to image format. it works fine but it has a strange behavior that some of the SVG images are not rendering correctly while some are doing. those wrongly rendered svg are not aligned with the real image. I tried but i couldn't figure out why its happening only for some images.

Really appreciate if someone help me to resolve this.

Java Code:

private static Image createSVGImage(PdfWriter pdfWriter, String imageEntry) throws BadElementException {
        Image image = null;

        Graphics2D g2dgraphics =null;
        PdfTemplate template = null;
        try{
            SVGDiagram diagram = SVGCache.getSVGUniverse().getDiagram( new java.io.File( imageEntry ).toURI() );
            template = pdfWriter.getDirectContent().createTemplate( diagram.getWidth(), diagram.getHeight());
            diagram.setIgnoringClipHeuristic(true);
             g2dgraphics= new PdfGraphics2D(template, diagram.getWidth(), diagram.getHeight());
        diagram.render(g2dgraphics);
    }catch( Exception e ){
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if( g2dgraphics != null ){
            g2dgraphics.dispose();
          image = Image.getInstance(template);

        }
        g2dgraphics.dispose();
    }

    return image;
}

SVG xml code that its not align

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
  <path d="M19,16a46,46 0,1,0 62,0l-8,8a34,34 0,1,1-46,0z" fill="#069"/>
  <path d="M46,43v35a28,28 0,0,1-14-49zM54,43v35a28,28 0,0,0 14-49z" fill="#396"/>
  <circle r="15" cx="50" cy="18" fill="#900"/>
</svg>

Solution

  • I really dont know why this is happening with this library, since there is no answer i have changed the SVGSalamendar to Batik Library and if someone needs, this is the working code for it

    Maven Dependencies

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.xmlgraphics</groupId>
        <artifactId>batik-svggen</artifactId>
        <version>1.11</version>
    </dependency>
    
    <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/batik/batik-transcoder -->
    <dependency>
     <groupId>org.apache.xmlgraphics</groupId>
      <artifactId>batik-transcoder</artifactId>
       <version>1.11</version>
    </dependency>
    
    <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/batik/batik-rasterizer -->
    <dependency>
     <groupId>org.apache.xmlgraphics</groupId>
      <artifactId>batik-rasterizer</artifactId>
      <version>1.11</version>
    </dependency>
    

    Java code to reflect same result as above :

    private static Image createSVGImage(PdfWriter pdfWriter, String imageEntry) throws BadElementException, IOException {
            Image image = null;
            final BufferedImage[] imagePointer = new BufferedImage[1];
    
            PdfContentByte pdfCB = new PdfContentByte(pdfWriter);   
    
             try {
    
                    TranscoderInput input = new TranscoderInput(new FileInputStream(imageEntry));
    
                    ImageTranscoder t = new ImageTranscoder() {
    
                        @Override
                        public BufferedImage createImage(int w, int h) {
                            return new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
                        }
    
                        @Override
                        public void writeImage(BufferedImage img, TranscoderOutput output) throws TranscoderException {
                            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                             imagePointer[0] = img;
    
                        }
                    };
                    t.addTranscodingHint(ImageTranscoder.KEY_FORCE_TRANSPARENT_WHITE,
                            Boolean.FALSE);
                    t.addTranscodingHint(ImageTranscoder.KEY_BACKGROUND_COLOR, Color.white);
                    t.transcode(input, null);
                }
                catch (TranscoderException ex) {
                    // Requires Java 6
                    ex.printStackTrace();
                    throw new IOException("Couldn't convert ");
                }
    
              image = Image.getInstance(pdfCB, imagePointer[0], 1);     
    
            return image;
        }
