I&#39;m currently working on some tools to allow web-based creation of various types of maps for people that aren&#39;t comfortable editing SVG files. These tools will allow users to select a base map, choose which territories they want to shade in and how to shade them, generate an SVG file, and then push it to Commons. I have pretty much everything working except I would like to be able to show the user a PNG preview of their map before it is pushed to Commons. I tried using ImageMagick, but it gives horrible results. Has anyone else dealt with this problem on the toolserver? I&#39;ve heard of a couple other possible solutions:<br>
1. SVG2image, which is a PHP class that uses the Batik Java library to do the conversion. Apparently this is difficult to set-up, however, and may not work under PHP 5.<br>2. The librsvg library. Apparently this library may have some security problems, however, and reports of its ability to do decent conversions are mixed.<br>
3. Calling inkscape from the command line. I doubt this is available on the toolserver, but who knows.<br><br>Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.<br><br>Ryan Kaldari<br>
