I have gone through a lot of messages posted for conversion from svg to GIF.
Have you considered PNG? There are more/better PNG encoders than GIF - due to the recent Patent issues with GIF.
Using the information from the postings.
I wrote a program this program uses the Acme.JPM.Encoders.GIFEncoder.
This program is able to convert svg into a GIF image as long as there are only three primary colors "RED, GREEN, BLUE" also the background of the image is not transparent.
Is it possible to produce an image, from svg, with multiple colors and transparent background?
Yes, it is definitely possible to produce such an image. :)
Is there a better GIFencoder available which supports these features. I will appreciate if anyone can guide me into right
direction.
Batik includes support for generating an Indexed PNG however this also ignores the Alpha channel. The basic problem is that SVG generates a 32bpp image (8bits each for Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha) it is very difficult to map this down to 256 colors (with transparency) and it is essentially 100% orthogonal to what Batik is doing.
You are likely to have better luck looking for tools that will generate transparent GIF/PNG from other formats, and using Batik to generate a full color image that the other package uses to generate the indexed image. One C package I know of is PBM that does lots of stuff along these lines you might also be able to use GIMP, or ImageMagik.
