'Scalable Vector Graphics' FileType Alternative Plugin (.SVG, .SVGZ)

[otuncelli 9]

This is a filetype plugin for loading SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and its compressed variant SVGZ files.

 

SVG elements can be rendered as a flat image file or each on a separate layer.

 

The plugin is a tiny wrapper around the SVG.NET Library which does the actual SVG reading.

 

Disclaimer: I merged all required third party libraries into a single file so everyone can easily install, remove and update it when needed. Because of this merging, the binary form of the plugin contains code from the Fizzler project ( LGPL - GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE ) which forces me to use the same license. LGPL terms only apply to binary form.

 

You can get the latest version from this link:

SvgFileType.dll 

SvgFileType.dll.zip (zipped)

 

To install the plugin perform the following steps:

• Put the DLL in the <Paint.NET>\FileTypes directory (default location is C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes)
• For the Windows Store version of Paint.NET, put the DLL in the <Documents>\paint.net App Files\FileTypes directory
• Restart Paint.NET if you have it open

 

Project on Github

 

If you experience any problems you can open an issue on github or post here.

 

Also if you're a developer, you're welcome to contribute code on Github and help making this plugin better.
