svg -> png conversion

svg -> png conversion

[Peter Münster]

Hello,

How can I convert svg to png on the fly?

I've created a file "test.rlx":

<?xml version='1.0 standalone='yes'?>
<rl:manipulators>
    <rl:manipulator name='png' suffix='svg'>
        <rl:old><rl:value name='path'/>/<rl:value name='file'
        method='nosuffix'/>.png</rl:old>
        <rl:new><rl:value name='path'/>/<rl:value name='prefix'/><rl:value
        name='file' method='nosuffix'/>.png</rl:new>
        <rl:step>
            inkscape -d 600 -e
            <rl:value name='new'/>
            <rl:value name='old'/>
        </rl:step>
    </rl:manipulator>
</rl:manipulators>

and a file "test.tex":

\setupexternalfigures[conversion=png]
\starttext
\externalfigure[./myfile.svg]
\stoptext

But when running context on the file, it tries to convert the svg to pdf.

What do I need to do?

TIA for any hint!
Cheers, Peter

i need to think a bit about it

we do have a automatic svg -> pdf converter so what we need is some way 
to force a specific kind of conversion (i need to add a bit os code on 
top of existing code then)

new experimental ... you can specify a conversion but only those defined 
will take place

\starttext

% \enabletrackers[figures.conversion,figures.locating]

\hbox {
     \externalfigure[demo.svg][conversion=png,width=4cm]
     \externalfigure[demo.svg][width=4cm]
}

\stoptext

of course we can collect conversions as only a few are implemented

i'll upload a new beta
