I take that comment back about it looking "psychadelic". The foreground color on the clipart might actually be accurate - but the background is purple instead of white. Actually, the background is *supposed* to be transparent, but it's not in the SVG, which is another one of my problems. To illustrate the whole process, here's a little more info, in a linear step-by-step:
I start off with a .eps version of the clip art on the server. The background on this .eps is transparent. My SVG doc links to clipart.php (with some parameters added into the URL to convert the color/size) Clipart.php outputs a PNG graphic The clip art shows up in the SVG document with a white background instead of a transparent background. When I rasterize the SVG to JPG, the background color becomes purple and I'm not sure if the foreground color is correct - it looks vaguely lke the original color but maybe a little darker - although that could just be me, or an illusion caused by the background color. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Rob -----Original Message----- From: Rob Hinst [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 8:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Rasterizing dynamically generated images I have a script that takes a piece of clip art on the server, resizes it and changes the color with imagemagick, and then outputs the new image to the browser. I've embedded some of the resulting images in my SVG document using the following tag: <image xlink:href="http://mydomain.com/clipart.php?i=ca_someimage&c=00a650& w=156.95&h=191.35" x="0" y="0" width="156.95" height="191.35" /> Basically that outputs an image that is about 156x191, with a color of #00a650. I don't know if the floating point dimension sizes is bad, but it seems to work ok. It takes a little while for the image to pop up in the SVG document, since imagemagick has to do its thing each time, but it eventually shows up just fine. When I use batik-rasterizer to rasterize the SVG to a JPG, the image shows up in the correct location at the correct size, but the colors are all psychadelic. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this? The clipart.php script outputs the image in PNG format, if that matters.
