inkscape: Export a single object, given its ID, into a bitmap.
$ inkscape ${filename-svg} -i ${id} -o ${object-png}
try on your machine
This command uses the Inkscape software to convert a specific object within an SVG file into a PNG image file.
Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:
inkscape
is the command that executes the Inkscape software.${filename-svg}
represents the name of the SVG file you want to work with. You need to replace${filename-svg}
with the actual name of your SVG file, including the file extension (e.g.,image.svg
).-i ${id}
specifies the ID of the object you want to extract from the SVG file.${id}
should be replaced with the actual ID of the object you are interested in. Each object within an SVG file is typically assigned a unique ID, which you can find by opening the SVG file in a text editor and searching for the specific object.-o ${object-png}
determines the name of the PNG file that will be saved after the conversion is complete. You need to replace${object-png}
with the desired name of the PNG file, including the file extension (e.g.,image.png
).
By running this command, Inkscape will open the specified SVG file, extract the object with the specified ID, and save it as a PNG image file with the specified name.
