Ghostscript can generate SVG output. I don't know of any tool to import SVG directly, but Inkscape can convert SVG to DXF, which OGR can handle. However, I don't know how much information will be lost in the conversion. Generating rasters is more straightfoward; Ghostscript can generate a large number of raster formats, many of which can be imported using e.g. r.in.gdal. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]>
