use to generate PNG on server? (solved: using sharp.js instead)

[mahesh2000]

hi, i'm generating an SVG file using node on a server and i need to convert it to a PNG on the server and send as a URI by email. is there a way to use saveSvgAsPng to do that? i'm trying svg2png but it runs on top of phantomjs which doesn't always work well. thanks!

Same here, trying to use with node but can't figure out how.

i wound up using sharp. it's faster, has no such dependencies. it's kinda finicky about you getting your SVG properly formatted, including the xmlns and xmlns:xlink. if i remember correctly, the sample svg below can be used to test sharp, in case your other examples fail. it took a bit of time for us to get this to happen. we needed a graph and an embedded image in our svg.

<svg width="200" height="230" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
