Using of wxSVG


Loading and Displaying of SVG

There are two methods to display SVG:

  • Using wxSVGCtrl widget:
    m_svgCtrl = new wxSVGCtrl(this);
    m_svgCtrl->Load(wxT("tiger.svg"));
  • Using Render method in wxSVGDocument class:
    wxSVGDocument* svgDoc = new wxSVGDocument;
    svgDoc->Load(wxT("tiger.svg"));
    wxImage img = svgDoc->Render();

Dynamic creating of SVG

Here is an example of dynamic creation 
wxSVGDocument* svgDoc = new wxSVGDocument;
double w=450,h=450;
wxSVGSVGElement* svgElement = new wxSVGSVGElement;
svgElement->SetWidth(w);
svgElement->SetHeight(h);
svgDoc->AppendChild(svgElement);

wxSVGRectElement* rect = new wxSVGRectElement;
rect->SetX(0);
rect->SetY(0);
rect->SetWidth(w);
rect->SetHeight(h);
rect->SetFill(wxSVGPaint(0,0,0));
svgElement->AppendChild(rect);

rect = new wxSVGRectElement;
rect->SetX(50);
rect->SetY(50);
rect->SetWidth(w-100);
rect->SetHeight(h-100);
rect->SetFill(wxSVGPaint(0,0,255));
rect->SetStroke(wxSVGPaint(255,255,255));
rect->SetStrokeWidth(2);
rect->SetFillOpacity(.5);
svgElement->AppendChild(rect);

rect = (wxSVGRectElement*) rect->CloneNode();
double x = w/4+50;
double y = h/4+50;
rect->SetX(x);
rect->SetY(y);
rect->SetWidth(w/2);
rect->SetHeight(h/2);
rect->SetFill(wxSVGPaint(0,0,0));
rect->Rotate(45, x + w/4, y + h/4);
svgElement->AppendChild(rect);

m_svgCtrl->SetSVG(svgDoc);
