Convert SVG to XPS – C# Examples

Converting SVG documents to other formats is one of the main features of Aspose.SVG for .NET API. You can convert SVG to XPS and other popular formats in any way – online or programmatically. In this article, you find information on how to convert SVG to XPS by using ConvertSVG() methods of the Converter class, RenderTo() method of the SVGDocument class and applying XpsSaveOptions or XpsRenderingOptions.

Online SVG Converter

You can check the Aspose.SVG API functionality and convert SVG in real-time. Please load SVG from the local file system, select the output format and run the example. In the example, the save options are set by default. You will immediately receive the result as a separate file.

Convert SVG to XPS Using ConvertSVG() Method

The static methods of the Converter class can convert SVG to XPS with a single line of code. It is the easiest way for conversion. Converting a file to another format using ConvertSVG() methods is a sequence of operations among which document loading and saving:

• Load an SVG document using one of the SVGDocument() constructors ( owl.svg).
• Create an instance of the XpsSaveOptions class.
• Use the ConvertSVG() method to save SVG as an XPS file.

The following code snippet can be used to convert an SVG file to XPS format:

using Aspose.Svg;
using System.IO;
using Aspose.Svg.Converters;
using System.Drawing;
using Aspose.Svg.Saving;
...

    // Initialize an SVG document from a file
    using (var document = new SVGDocument(Path.Combine(DataDir, "owl.svg")))
    {
        // Initialize an instance of the XpsSaveOptions class
        var saveOptions = new XpsSaveOptions();
        saveOptions.BackgroundColor = Color.Gray;

        // Convert SVG to XPS
        Converter.ConvertSVG(document, saveOptions, Path.Combine(OutputDir, "owl_out.xps"));
    }

The XpsSaveOptions() constructor initializes an instance of the XpsSaveOptions class that is passed to ConvertSVG() method. The ConvertSVG() method takes the document, saveOptions, output file path and performs the conversion operation.

In the example above, we add the BackgroundColor property that sets Color, which will fill the background of every page.

You can download the complete examples and data files from GitHub. You find out about downloading from GitHub and running examples from the How to Run the Examples section.

Save Options

Aspose.SVG allows converting SVG to XPS with default or custom save options. XpsSaveOptions usage enables you to customize the rendering process; you can specify the page size, margins, background color, file permissions, Css, etc.

Property	Description
BackgroundColor	This property sets the color that will fill the background of every page. By default, this property is Transparent.
Css	Gets a CssOptions object which is used for configuration of CSS properties processing.
HorizontalResolution	Sets the horizontal resolution for output images in pixels per inch. The default value is 300 dpi.
VerticalResolution	Sets the vertical resolution for output images in pixels per inch. The default value is 300 dpi.
PageSetup	This property gets a page setup object and uses it for configuration output page-set.

Note: The options that are implementing with the XpsSaveOptions class are inheriting from the XpsRenderingOptions class.

Convert SVG to XPS Using RenderTo() Method

Consider SVG to XPS conversion scenario using RenderTo() method:

• Initialize a document using SVGDocument() constructor ( light.svg).
• Initialize an instance of the XpsRenderingOptions class and specify the document’s properties.
• Create a new instance of the XpsDevice class.
• Convert the document by RenderTo() method.

The following code snippet can be used to convert SVG to XPS:

using Aspose.Svg;
using System.IO;
using Aspose.Svg.Drawing;
using Aspose.Svg.Rendering;
using Aspose.Svg.Rendering.Xps;
...

	// Initialize an SVG document from a file
	using (var document = new SVGDocument(Path.Combine(DataDir, "light.svg")))
	{
	    // Initialize an instance of the XpsRenderingOptions class and set a custom PageSetup properties
		var xpsRenderingOptions = new XpsRenderingOptions();
	    xpsRenderingOptions.PageSetup.AnyPage = new Page(new Drawing.Size(500, 500), new Margin(10, 10, 10, 10));

		// Initialize an instance of XpsDevice class
	    using (IDevice device = new XpsDevice(xpsRenderingOptions, Path.Combine(OutputDir, "light_out.xps")))
	    {
	        // Render SVG to XPS, send the document to the rendering device
			document.RenderTo(device);
	    }
	}

The XpsRenderingOptions() constructor creates a new object that is passed as an argument to the XpsDevice(options, file) constructor. The last initializes a new instance of XpsDevice class by rendering options and output file name. The RenderTo(device) method converts and sends the current document to the output rendering device.
