opening, manipulating and rendering SVG files in win32 (C++)

I would like to open SVG files, manipulate the shapes defined in those and render those shapes to the screen in windows (vista/7/...).

I work with C++ builder. I've been thinking of using cairo or agg to render the shapes but I need a SVG parser library that provides a renderer and a full access to the shapes defined in the SVG files.

Does anyone know a library I could use to achieve this ?

I can't use Qt for money reason.

Thanks for your help.

I have recently put together a small SVG renderer library in C++: https://github.com/igagis/svgren

It uses Cairo for rendering to off-screen surface. Supports gradients and all kind of shapes. It uses another my library called svgdom which actually loads and offers a DOM of SVG which can be manipulated before rendering.

The best way to do so, is I think, librsvg with libcairo. Both are very feature rich and easy to use. I can open several SVG, render them to the screen and handle them to scale and move them.

The generic "render SVG to a cairo context" solution is librsvg: https://live.gnome.org/LibRsvg

However, both Qt and librsvg are licensed under LGPL (which does NOT forbid you to use it in commercial products).

The AGG source includes an SVG viewer :-)

Even if you are writing a commercial product the Qt licence should be fine.
