Xamarin.Forms.Extensions.Svg 1.0.5-pre001

Xamarin.Forms.Extensions.Svg

SkiaSharp based component to load SVG images from the Embedded Resources of an Xamarin.Forms Application.

Status

Setup

Install the library via Nuget, add the latest version of SkiaSharp to your Apps Shared and Platform Projects and add the following line to your Apps App.xaml.cs:

        public App()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // ...

            Xamarin.Forms.Extensions.Svg.SvgImage.RegisterAssembly();

            // ...

            MainPage = new MainPage();
        }

Usage

First add your SVG images to your Shared Project as EmbeddedResource.

Afterwards you can use the SvgImage View in your App:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:svg="clr-namespace:Xamarin.Forms.Extensions.Svg;assembly=XamExtensionsSvg"
             x:Class="SVGSample.MainPage">

      <svg:SvgImage Source="tiger.svg" WidthRequest="100" HeightRequest="100" />

</ContentPage>

If you want to change the SVGs color you can use the TintColor property:

       <svg:SvgImage Source="colours.svg" WidthRequest="20" HeightRequest="20" TintColor="#fcd303" />
