Convert .svg to .jpg using matlab

Dear People, First of all I want to thank the help provided in my previous doubts. Now I am facing a problem related with .svg extensions. In particular, I generate several figures in .svg via matlab and I want to save them as a .jpg in order to merge them in a video. Therefore my question is, can I create a jpg from an .svg using matlab? Thanks in advance!

MATLAB cannot import SVGs directly. There is a java implementation, which can be called from MATLAB, but there are easier and more direct solutions: inkscape and OpenOffice are better for such jobs.

[EDITED, 13-Oct-2011 10:24 UTC]: You can ask Google about programs for a batch conversion: http://www.google.de/search?q=batch+convert+svg+to+jpg

But I assume, exporting JPGs directly would be even easier.

Dear Jan,

Thanks for your rapid response. The problem here is that I am generating hundreds of .svg files in each iteration (In addition, several iterations are performed). Therefore, manual conversion of them is not an option. ¿Can I call directly from matlab to inkscape and generate .jpg with a particular resolution?

Thanks again in advance

Hi Jan,

I would be interested to learn more about the Java implementation that you mention. Could you provide some more details?

Thanks, Rob
