convert no longer respects -density?

[Norman Walsh]

Hello all,

Until recently, I've been using

convert --density=150 something.svg something.png

to convert SVG files to PNG at 150dpi. After some recent upgrade, I'm
afraid I can't recall exactly which, this stopped working.

$ convert --version
Version: ImageMagick 6.5.6-1 2009-09-16 Q16 OpenMP http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2009 ImageMagick Studio LLC

Convert seems to ignore the density setting entirely and always
produces a 72dpi PNG file.

I'm running the MacPorts version of ImageMagic; initially, I imagined
that this was some sort of configuration bug:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/21420

But they've suggested that I should report the bug upstream.
Suggestions or comments, most welcome.

Be seeing you,
norm

We have

-> convert -verbose skew.svg skew.png
skew.svg SVG 400x120 400x120+0+0 16-bit DirectClass 1.47kb
skew.svg=>skew.png SVG 400x120 400x120+0+0 16-bit DirectClass 12kb

Now at 150DPI we get

-> convert -verbose -density 150 skew.svg skew.png
skew.svg SVG 833x249 833x249+0+0 16-bit DirectClass 1.47kb
skew.svg=>skew.png SVG 833x249 833x249+0+0 16-bit DirectClass 36kb

as expected. Does your version of ImageMagick include support for the RSVG
delegate library?

-> identify -list format

To get that in MacPorts, you would have to build ImageMagick with the
+rsvg variant.
