nanosvg.newTexture()

params _^(required)

Table. Table containing the required parameters for the new object — see the next section for details.

filename _^(optional)

String. Indicates the name of the SVG file to load, relative to baseDir.

baseDir _^(optional)

Constant. Specifies the base directory where filename is located. Options include system.ResourceDirectory, system.DocumentsDirectory, system.ApplicationSupportDirectory, system.TemporaryDirectory and system.CachesDirectory. Default is system.ResourceDirectory.

filePath _^(optional)

String. Indicates the full file path of the SVG file to load.

data _^(optional)

String. Contains XML data of the SVG to be rasterized.

pixelWidth _^(optional)

Number. Specifies the horizontal pixel dimensions of the texture that the SVG is rendered to. If this is omitted, the texture width will be deduced from the SVG width/height ratio.

pixelHeight _^(optional)

Number. Specifies the vertical pixel dimensions of the texture that the SVG is rendered to. If this is omitted, the texture height will be deduced from the SVG width/height ratio.

scale _^(optional)

String. Specifies how the rasterized SVG should fit into the texture. This only applies if both pixelWidth and pixelHeight are specified. Options include:

• "letterbox" — This option (default) fits the entire rasterized SVG into the texture width/height, leaving letterbox regions transparent.
• "zoomEven" — This option fills the texture width/height with the rasterized SVG so that its smaller dimension fits into the texture.

scaleOffset _^(optional)

Number. Specifies how a scaled rasterized SVG will be positioned within the texture width/height. A value of 0.5 (default) will position it in the middle of the texture; 0 to the top or left; 1 to the bottom or right.

dpi _^(optional)

Number. Number for transforming between different SVG units (pixels, points, cm, mm, etc.). Default value is 96.

Create Texture and Image From SVG File

local nanosvg = require( "plugin.nanosvg" )

local tex = nanosvg.newTexture(
{
    filename = "test.svg",
})

if tex then
    local testSvg = display.newImage( tex.filename, tex.baseDir, display.contentCenterX, display.contentCenterY )
    tex:releaseSelf()
else
    print( "Error rendering SVG" )
end
