ReaderSvg is the best SVG importer because it can very accurately import svg files and also has the following additional great features:

  • Possibility to read svg objects as Shapes (for easier manipulation) or as Geometry objects (for better draw performance).
  • Optimize hierarchies and transformations to convert complex hierarchies with transformations into simpler objects.
  • Read data from custom properties that are attached to elements and export the data as xml serialized DataTable (only for svg files created in Microsoft Visio).
  • Additional optimization of Geometry objects to further improve drawing performance.
  • Using TrueTransform to change size and position of read objects by changing the actual shape data (without adding Transformation to root object).
  • Possibility to convert texts into PathGeometry.
  • Option to automatically size the read objects so that only the svg content is get without the whole document defined in root svg element.
  • Preserve element names - name can be read from id attribute or from title element.
  • The best support - if you find any svg file that is not read correctly, send it to us and we will do our best to improve the reader so it will read the svg file correctly.

 

You can read svg files at runtime in WPF application. With svg conveter to XAML converter application that comes with the library you can create XAML that can be used in WPF, Silverlight, Universal and Windows Store Apps.

Though the library is created in WPF, it can be also used in Windows Forms applications with using ElementHost or with rendering svg image into GDI+ bitmap. The usage is very simple and do not require any knowledge of XAML or other WPF specialties (check the sample that comes with the library).
