Tip of the day: Render SVG with GraphicsMagick Plugin

You can render SVG files like this using our GraphicsMagick plugin:

  Sub RenderSimple()
    dim file as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("EUworld.svg")
    
    dim g as new GMImageMBS(file)
    
    Backdrop = g.CopyPicture
  End Sub

And if you need to scale, you can use a GMGeometryMBS object with a scaling factor:

  Sub RenderScaled()
    // render with 200%
    
    // first open file and read data in blob
    dim file as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("EUworld.svg")
    dim stream as BinaryStream = BinaryStream.Open(file)
    dim data as string = stream.Read(stream.Length)
    dim blob as new GMBlobMBS(data)
    
    // 200% in width and height
    dim geo as new GMGeometryMBS("200%x200%")
    
    // open image
    dim g as new GMImageMBS(blob, geo)
    
    // get Real Studio picture
    Backdrop = g.CopyPicture
  End Sub
