    pub height: Px,
    /* private fields */
}

Implementations

impl Svg

pub fn parse(svg_string: &str) -> Result<Self, SvgParseError>

Internally parses the SVG string, converts it to a PDF document using the svg2pdf crate, parses the resulting PDF again (using lopdf), then extracts the SVG XObject.

I wish there was a more direct way, but handling SVG is very tricky.

pub fn into_xobject(self, layer: &PdfLayerReference) -> SvgXObjectRef

Adds the SVG to the pages /Resources, returns the name of the reference to the SVG, so that one SVG can be used more than once on a page

pub fn add_to_layer(self, layer: &PdfLayerReference, transform: SvgTransform)

Adds the image to a specific layer and consumes it.

This is due to a PDF weirdness - images are basically just “names” and you have to make sure that they are added to resources of the same page as they are used on.

You can use the “transform.dpi” parameter to specify a scaling - the default is 300dpi
