About

This project provides a C# library for parsing, converting and viewing the SVG files in WPF applications.

More documentation is available at the ShapeVectors Github Pages.

Key Features

• Parsing of the SVG files to create the SVG DOM
• SVG to XAML conversion
• A small runtime library to handle font URI, embedded images and others when using the XAML files directly from disk.
• An optimized XAML output.
• Interaction with the conversion process (by a visitor pattern) to allow for custom hyper-link implementations, font substitutions etc.
• Supports .NET Framework 4+, .NET Core, and .NET 6.0

Main Components

The library consists of several components as listed below and there is no dependency on external components:

• SharpVectors.Core.dll (SVG interfaces and basic types)
• SharpVectors.Css.dll (CSS interfaces and types)
• SharpVectors.Dom.dll (SVG DOM, integrates CSS DOM)
• SharpVectors.Model.dll (SVG model, parsing and utility classes)
• SharpVectors.Rendering.Gdi.dll (GDI+ rendering of the SVG Model - requires more work)
• SharpVectors.Runtime.Wpf.dll (An independent component with scroling/zooming panels for viewing rendered XAML)
• SharpVectors.Rendering.Wpf.dll (WPF rendering of the SVG Model)
• SharpVectors.Converters.Wpf.dll (Utitlity classes providing access to the WPF rendering features)
