# PlutoSVG
PlutoSVG is a compact and efficient SVG rendering library written in C. It is specifically designed for parsing and rendering SVG documents embedded in OpenType fonts, providing an optimal balance between speed and minimal memory usage. It is also suitable for rendering scalable icons.
## Basic Usage
```c
#include
#include
int main(void)
{
plutosvg_document_t* document = plutosvg_document_load_from_file("camera.svg", -1, -1);
if(document == NULL) {
printf("Unable to load: camera.svg\n");
return -1;
}
plutovg_surface_t* surface = plutosvg_document_render_to_surface(document, NULL, -1, -1, NULL, NULL, NULL);
plutovg_surface_write_to_png(surface, "camera.png");
plutosvg_document_destroy(document);
plutovg_surface_destroy(surface);
return 0;
}
```
## Integrating with FreeType
```c
#include
#include
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
#include FT_MODULE_H
int main(void)
{
FT_Library library;
// Initialize the FreeType library
if(FT_Init_FreeType(&library)) {
// Handle error
return -1;
}
// Set PlutoSVG hooks for the SVG module
if(FT_Property_Set(library, "ot-svg", "svg-hooks", &plutosvg_ft_hooks)) {
// Handle error
return -1;
}
// Your code here
// Clean up
FT_Done_FreeType(library);
return 0;
}
```
