A library to convert svg to images?

Question

I am looking for a library written either in C or C++ which can convert the svg to image formats.

I came across inkscape which converts svg to images. but to use this I must run inkscape as a process and this not the solution I am after.

I need the library to run on both Windows and Linux as well.

I am after a C or C++ library. If it was with Java I would have used Apache's Batik rasterizer.

The canonical library to render SVG is librsvg. You may want to check that out.

Will that convert svg to raster formats? – Ashwin Sep 13 '11 at 08:13
it has a command line tool `rsvg` to do that too, it renders SVG to PNG. The library itself is way more flexible of course. – cyco130 Sep 13 '11 at 08:18
Then you also need a jpeg library. You can try http://www.ijg.org/ – cyco130 Sep 13 '11 at 08:45

For image libray, you can use ImageMagick, which is quite popular and it support many types of image.

I would recommend leadtools, as they support many vector formats and many programming languages and it can be easily convert vector format to the most known raster format.

As far as I know they support Windows, not sure about Linux.

You can tell by visiting their website.
