Svg.Skia

Svg.Skia is an SVG rendering library.

About

Svg.Skia can be used as a .NET library or as a CLI application to render SVG files based on a static SVG Full 1.1 subset to raster images or to a backend's canvas.

The Svg.Skia is using SVG library to load Svg object model.

The Svg.Skia library is implemented using the SkiaSharp rendering backend that aims to be on par or more complete than the original System.Drawing implementation and more performant and cross-platform.

The Svg.Skia can be used in same way as the SkiaSharp.Extended.Svg (load svg files as SKPicture).

The Svg library has a more complete implementation of the Svg document model than SkiaSharp.Extended.Svg and the Svg.Skia renderer will provide more complete rendering subsystem implementation.

AvaloniaUI

Install Package

dotnet add package Avalonia.Svg.Skia

Install-Package Avalonia.Svg.Skia

Svg control

<Svg Path="/Assets/__AJ_Digital_Camera.svg"/>

Image control

<Image Source="{SvgImage /Assets/__AJ_Digital_Camera.svg}"/>

CSS styling

<Svg Path="/Assets/__tiger.svg" 
     Css=".Black { fill: #FF0000; }"  />

<Style Selector="Svg">
  <Setter Property="(Svg.Css)" Value=".Black { fill: #FF0000; }" />
</Style>

<SvgSource x:Key="TigerIcon"
           Path="/Assets/__tiger.svg"
           Css=".Black { fill: #FF0000; }" />

<Image>
  <Image.Source>
    <SvgImage Source="{DynamicResource TigerIcon}" />
  </Image.Source>
</Image>

<Image>
  <Image.Source>
    <SvgImage Source="/Assets/__tiger.svg" Css=".Black { fill: #FF0000; }" />
  </Image.Source>
</Image>

Avalonia Previewer

To make controls work with Avalonia Previewer please add the following lines to BuildAvaloniaApp() method:

GC.KeepAlive(typeof(SvgImageExtension).Assembly);
GC.KeepAlive(typeof(Avalonia.Svg.Skia.Svg).Assembly);

The BuildAvaloniaApp() should look similar to this:

public static AppBuilder BuildAvaloniaApp()
{
    GC.KeepAlive(typeof(SvgImageExtension).Assembly);
    GC.KeepAlive(typeof(Avalonia.Svg.Skia.Svg).Assembly);
    return AppBuilder.Configure<App>()
        .UsePlatformDetect()
        .LogToTrace();
}

This is know issue as previewer not always loads all dependencies, especially custom controls in Avalonia xmlns, other solution would be to add xmlns prefix to control with provided assembly path.
