inkscape: Export an SVG file into a bitmap of 600x400 pixels (aspect ratio distortion may occur).
$ inkscape ${filename-svg} -o ${filename-png} -w ${600} -h ${400}
try on your machine

This command is used to convert an SVG file to a PNG file using Inkscape, which is a free and open-source vector graphics editor.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • inkscape: This is the command to run Inkscape.

  • ${filename-svg}: This is a placeholder for the name of the SVG file you want to convert. You need to replace it with the actual filename and path of the SVG file.

  • -o: This is an option that specifies the output file for the conversion.

  • ${filename-png}: This is a placeholder for the name of the PNG file you want to generate. You need to replace it with the actual filename and path for the PNG file.

  • -w: This is an option that specifies the width of the output PNG file.

  • ${600}: This is a placeholder for the desired width of the PNG file in pixels. You need to replace it with the actual width you want, for example, 800.

  • -h: This is an option that specifies the height of the output PNG file.

  • ${400}: This is a placeholder for the desired height of the PNG file in pixels. You need to replace it with the actual height you want, for example, 600.

So, when you run this command with the actual filenames and desired width and height, it will use Inkscape to convert the specified SVG file to a PNG file with the specified dimensions.
