SVG.toDataURL()

The missing SVG.toDataURL() exporter for your SVG elements.

See original paper for more information on interfacing between SVG and Canvas.

Instructions

  1. Include canvg. Not needed on Firefox 11+!
  2. <script type="text/javascript" src="svg_todataurl.js"></script>
  3. var pngDataURL = mySVGelement.toDataURL("image/png")
  4. See butterfly_test.html for working example.

API documentation

See svg_todataurl.js.
