### rsvg_handle_get_intrinsic_dimensions ()

    void
    rsvg_handle_get_intrinsic_dimensions (RsvgHandle *handle,
                                          gboolean *out_has_width,
                                          RsvgLength *out_width,
                                          gboolean *out_has_height,
                                          RsvgLength *out_height,
                                          gboolean *out_has_viewbox,
                                          RsvgRectangle *out_viewbox);

Queries the `width`, `height`, and `viewBox` attributes in an SVG document.

If you are calling this function to compute a scaling factor to render the SVG, consider simply using `rsvg_handle_render_document()` instead; it will do the scaling computations automatically.

As an example, the following SVG element has a `width` of 100 pixels and a `height` of 400 pixels, but no `viewBox`:

    1
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="100" height="400">

Conversely, the following element has a `viewBox`, but no `width` or `height`:

    1
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 100 400">

Note that the RsvgLength return values have RsvgUnits in them; you should not assume that they are always in pixels. For example, the following SVG element will return a width value whose `units` field is RSVG_UNIT_MM.

    1
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="210mm" height="297mm">

API ordering: This function must be called on a fully-loaded `handle` . See the section API ordering for details.

Panics: this function will panic if the `handle` is not fully-loaded.

#### Parameters

handle | An RsvgHandle |
out_has_width | Will be set to TRUE if the toplevel SVG has a `width` attribute. | [out][optional]
out_width | Will be set to the value of the `width` attribute in the toplevel SVG. | [out][optional]
out_has_height | Will be set to TRUE if the toplevel SVG has a `height` attribute. | [out][optional]
out_height | Will be set to the value of the `height` attribute in the toplevel SVG. | [out][optional]
out_has_viewbox | Will be set to TRUE if the toplevel SVG has a `viewBox` attribute. | [out][optional]
out_viewbox | Will be set to the value of the `viewBox` attribute in the toplevel SVG. | [out][optional]

### rsvg_handle_get_intrinsic_size_in_pixels ()

    gboolean
    rsvg_handle_get_intrinsic_size_in_pixels
                                   (RsvgHandle *handle,
                                    gdouble *out_width,
                                    gdouble *out_height);

Converts an SVG document's intrinsic dimensions to pixels, and returns the result.

This function is able to extract the size in pixels from an SVG document if the document has both `width` and `height` attributes with physical units (px, in, cm, mm, pt, pc) or font-based units (em, ex). For physical units, the dimensions are normalized to pixels using the dots-per-inch (DPI) value set previously with `rsvg_handle_set_dpi()`. For font-based units, this function uses the computed value of the `font-size` property for the toplevel `<svg>` element. In those cases, this function returns `TRUE`.

This function is not able to extract the size in pixels directly from the intrinsic dimensions of the SVG document if the `width` or `height` are in percentage units (or if they do not exist, in which case the SVG spec mandates that they default to 100%), as these require a viewport to be resolved to a final size. In this case, the function returns `FALSE`.

For example, the following document fragment has intrinsic dimensions that will resolve to 20x30 pixels.

    1
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="30"/>

Similarly, if the DPI is set to 96, this document will resolve to 192x288 pixels (i.e. 96*2 x 96*3).

    1
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="2in" height="3in"/>

The dimensions of the following documents cannot be resolved to pixels directly, and this function would return `FALSE` for them:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    <!-- Needs a viewport against which to compute the percentages. -->
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="100%" height="100%"/>

    <!-- Does not have intrinsic width/height, just a 1:2 aspect ratio which
         needs to be fitted within a viewport. -->
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 100 200"/>

Instead of querying an SVG document's size, applications are encouraged to render SVG documents to a size chosen by the application, by passing a suitably-sized viewport to `rsvg_handle_render_document()`.

#### Parameters

handle | An RsvgHandle |
out_width | Will be set to the computed width; you should round this up to get integer pixels. | [out][optional]
out_height | Will be set to the computed height; you should round this up to get integer pixels. | [out][optional]

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the dimensions could be converted directly to pixels; in this case `out_width` and `out_height` will be set accordingly. Note that the dimensions are floating-point numbers, so your application can know the exact size of an SVG document. To get integer dimensions, you should use ``ceil()`` to round up to the nearest integer (just using ``round()``, may may chop off pixels with fractional coverage). If the dimensions cannot be converted to pixels, returns `FALSE` and puts 0.0 in both `out_width` and `out_height` .

### rsvg_handle_render_document ()

    gboolean
    rsvg_handle_render_document (RsvgHandle *handle,
                                 cairo_t *cr,
                                 const RsvgRectangle *viewport,
                                 GError **error);

Renders the whole SVG document fitted to a viewport.

The `viewport` gives the position and size at which the whole SVG document will be rendered. The document is scaled proportionally to fit into this viewport.

The `cr` must be in a CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS state, or this function will not render anything, and instead will return an error.

API ordering: This function must be called on a fully-loaded `handle` . See the section API ordering for details.

Panics: this function will panic if the `handle` is not fully-loaded.

#### Parameters

handle | An RsvgHandle |
cr | A Cairo context |
viewport | Viewport size at which the whole SVG would be fitted. |
error | a location to store a GError, or `NULL`. | [optional]

### rsvg_handle_get_geometry_for_layer ()

    gboolean
    rsvg_handle_get_geometry_for_layer (RsvgHandle *handle,
                                        const char *id,
                                        const RsvgRectangle *viewport,
                                        RsvgRectangle *out_ink_rect,
                                        RsvgRectangle *out_logical_rect,
                                        GError **error);

Computes the ink rectangle and logical rectangle of an SVG element, or the whole SVG, as if the whole SVG were rendered to a specific viewport.

Element IDs should look like an URL fragment identifier; for example, pass "#foo" (hash `foo`) to get the geometry of the element that has an `id="foo"` attribute.

The "ink rectangle" is the bounding box that would be painted for fully- stroked and filled elements.

The "logical rectangle" just takes into account the unstroked paths and text outlines.

Note that these bounds are not minimum bounds; for example, clipping paths are not taken into account.

You can pass NULL for the `id` if you want to measure all the elements in the SVG, i.e. to measure everything from the root element.

This operation is not constant-time, as it involves going through all the child elements.

API ordering: This function must be called on a fully-loaded `handle` . See the section API ordering for details.

Panics: this function will panic if the `handle` is not fully-loaded.

#### Parameters

handle | An RsvgHandle |
id | An element's id within the SVG, starting with "##" (a single hash character), for example, "#layer1". This notation corresponds to a URL's fragment ID. Alternatively, pass `NULL` to compute the geometry for the whole SVG. | [nullable]
viewport | Viewport size at which the whole SVG would be fitted. |
out_ink_rect | Place to store the ink rectangle of the element. | [out][optional]
out_logical_rect | Place to store the logical rectangle of the element. | [out][optional]
error | a location to store a GError, or `NULL`. | [optional]

### rsvg_handle_render_layer ()

    gboolean
    rsvg_handle_render_layer (RsvgHandle *handle,
                              cairo_t *cr,
                              const char *id,
                              const RsvgRectangle *viewport,
                              GError **error);

Renders a single SVG element in the same place as for a whole SVG document.

The `viewport` gives the position and size at which the whole SVG document would be rendered. The document is scaled proportionally to fit into this viewport; hence the individual layer may be smaller than this.

This is equivalent to `rsvg_handle_render_document()`, but it renders only a single element and its children, as if they composed an individual layer in the SVG. The element is rendered with the same transformation matrix as it has within the whole SVG document. Applications can use this to re-render a single element and repaint it on top of a previously-rendered document, for example.

Element IDs should look like an URL fragment identifier; for example, pass "#foo" (hash `foo`) to get the geometry of the element that has an `id="foo"` attribute.

You can pass NULL for the `id` if you want to render all the elements in the SVG, i.e. to render everything from the root element.

API ordering: This function must be called on a fully-loaded `handle` . See the section API ordering for details.

Panics: this function will panic if the `handle` is not fully-loaded.

#### Parameters

handle | An RsvgHandle |
cr | A Cairo context |
id | An element's id within the SVG, starting with "##" (a single hash character), for example, "#layer1". This notation corresponds to a URL's fragment ID. Alternatively, pass `NULL` to render the whole SVG document tree. | [nullable]
viewport | Viewport size at which the whole SVG would be fitted. |
error | a location to store a GError, or `NULL`. | [optional]

### rsvg_handle_get_geometry_for_element ()

    gboolean
    rsvg_handle_get_geometry_for_element (RsvgHandle *handle,
                                          const char *id,
                                          RsvgRectangle *out_ink_rect,
                                          RsvgRectangle *out_logical_rect,
                                          GError **error);

Computes the ink rectangle and logical rectangle of a single SVG element.

While `rsvg_handle_get_geometry_for_layer` computes the geometry of an SVG element subtree with its transformation matrix, this other function will compute the element's geometry as if it were being rendered under an identity transformation by itself. That is, the resulting geometry is as if the element got extracted by itself from the SVG.

This function is the counterpart to `rsvg_handle_render_element`.

Element IDs should look like an URL fragment identifier; for example, pass "#foo" (hash `foo`) to get the geometry of the element that has an `id="foo"` attribute.

The "ink rectangle" is the bounding box that would be painted for fully- stroked and filled elements.

The "logical rectangle" just takes into account the unstroked paths and text outlines.

Note that these bounds are not minimum bounds; for example, clipping paths are not taken into account.

You can pass NULL for the `id` if you want to measure all the elements in the SVG, i.e. to measure everything from the root element.

This operation is not constant-time, as it involves going through all the child elements.

API ordering: This function must be called on a fully-loaded `handle` . See the section API ordering for details.

Panics: this function will panic if the `handle` is not fully-loaded.

#### Parameters

handle | An RsvgHandle |
id | An element's id within the SVG, starting with "##" (a single hash character), for example, "#layer1". This notation corresponds to a URL's fragment ID. Alternatively, pass `NULL` to compute the geometry for the whole SVG. | [nullable]
out_ink_rect | Place to store the ink rectangle of the element. | [out][optional]
out_logical_rect | Place to store the logical rectangle of the element. | [out][optional]
error | a location to store a GError, or `NULL`. | [optional]

### rsvg_handle_render_element ()

    gboolean
    rsvg_handle_render_element (RsvgHandle *handle,
                                cairo_t *cr,
                                const char *id,
                                const RsvgRectangle *element_viewport,
                                GError **error);

Renders a single SVG element to a given viewport

This function can be used to extract individual element subtrees and render them, scaled to a given `element_viewport` . This is useful for applications which have reusable objects in an SVG and want to render them individually; for example, an SVG full of icons that are meant to be be rendered independently of each other.

Element IDs should look like an URL fragment identifier; for example, pass "#foo" (hash `foo`) to get the geometry of the element that has an `id="foo"` attribute.

You can pass NULL for the `id` if you want to render all the elements in the SVG, i.e. to render everything from the root element.

The `element_viewport` gives the position and size at which the named element will be rendered. FIXME: mention proportional scaling.

API ordering: This function must be called on a fully-loaded `handle` . See the section API ordering for details.

Panics: this function will panic if the `handle` is not fully-loaded.

#### Parameters

handle | An RsvgHandle |
cr | A Cairo context |
id | An element's id within the SVG, starting with "##" (a single hash character), for example, "#layer1". This notation corresponds to a URL's fragment ID. Alternatively, pass `NULL` to render the whole SVG document tree. | [nullable]
element_viewport | Viewport size in which to fit the element |
error | a location to store a GError, or `NULL`. | [optional]
