L<This demonstration
website|https://benkasminbullock.github.io/supertinyiconscairosvg/>
shows the output of Image::CairoSVG on the Super Tiny Icons
collection, the L<Twitter Emoji
Collection|https://benkasminbullock.github.io/supertinyiconscairosvg/twemoji/>, and the L<SVG Test Suite|https://benkasminbullock.github.io/supertinyiconscairosvg/sts.html> (very limited support as yet).

Please see L</BUGS> below for notable errors in the rendering.

=head3 Blog articles

I've written some blog articles about extending the SVG support in
this module.

=item L<Trying to get SVG right|https://benbullock.substack.com/p/trying-to-get-svg-right>

This was the first article, where I had discovered that the module's
arc-drawing code and arc-parsing code was not working.

=item L<Improvements to Image::CairoSVG|https://benbullock.substack.com/p/improvements-to-imagecairosvg>

This illustrates some of the improvements made up to version 0.16,
such as addition of opacity, support for the <use> tag, and more
correct drawing of circular arcs.

=item L<SVG matrix and miter limit|https://benbullock.substack.com/p/svg-matrix-and-miter-limit>

This documents visually the rendering improvements between version
0.17 and version 0.18.

=item L<For and against muddling booleans|https://benbullock.substack.com/p/for-and-against-muddling-booleans>

This documents an error caused by testing attributes directly, when an
attribute with value "zero" was ignored, causing a rendering error.

=item CairoSVG

L<CairoSVG|http://cairosvg.org/> is a Python SVG renderer in
Cairo. The elliptical arc drawing part of Image::CairoSVG is a
translation of its code into Perl.

=over

=item L<Image::LibRSVG>

Perl extension for a Gnome library called librsvg which converts SVG
to PNG or JPEG, etc. We have not tested this library.

=item L<Image::Magick>

Does SVG to PNG conversion.

=item L<Image::SVG::Path>

This is a specialised module for reading the "d" attribute of SVG
paths.

=item L<Image::SVG::Transform>

Read the "transform" attribute of an SVG element. It is not a
dependency of this module, but I used this as a reference when writing
the transform code in this module.

=item L<MarpaX::Languages::SVG::Parser>

This extends the L<Marpa::R2> parser to parse SVG.

=item L<SVG>

This is for generating SVG documents.

=item L<SVG::Parser>

Parse the XML for SVG files. It can use either L<XML::Parser> or
L<XML::SAX> but XML::Parser seems not to work. See
L<https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=136404>.

=item L<SVG::Rasterize>

Rasterize SVG content to pixel graphics. We couldn't get this to
produce output. See
L<https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=136405>.

=item L<Image::PNG::Cairo>

This might be useful if you want to do something with the PNG output
of Cairo other than just write it to a file, for example adding text
to it.
