inkscape: Export the drawing (bounding box of all objects) of an SVG file into a bitmap.
$ inkscape ${filename-svg} -o ${filename-png} -D
try on your machine
This command is used to convert an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file to a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file using Inkscape.
Let's break down the command:
inkscape
: This is the command to run Inkscape, an open-source vector graphics editor.${filename-svg}
: This is a placeholder for the input SVG file name. You should replace this with the actual name of the SVG file you want to convert.-o
: This is a flag that specifies the output file name.${filename-png}
: This is a placeholder for the output PNG file name. You should replace this with the desired name of the converted PNG file.-D
: This is a flag that enables or sets the export resolution. In this case,-D
indicates that the default resolution will be used.
So, when you run this command, it will open the specified SVG file using Inkscape and convert it to a PNG file with the specified output file name. The conversion will use the default export resolution provided by Inkscape.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
