(#784) Adds base-uri parameter in rsvg-convert
This merge request allows a top level directory to be set as the base location from which relative references for resources are resolved.
This is useful in projects where a directory contains SVGs in a folder that point to images stored elsewhere, as in:
base-directory/
├─ images/
│ ├─ logo.png
├─ svgs/
├─ example.svg
Where example.svg is
<svg width="200" height="200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<image xlink:href="file:///absolute/path/base-directory/images/logo.png" height="200" width="200"/>
</svg>
Leaving the parameter out results in the logo not being included in the output PNG.
Example usage:
rsvg-convert -t . --format=png --output=out.png svgs/example.svg
rsvg-convert --top-level-directory /path/to/base-directory/ --format=png --output=out.png svgs/example.svg
