How to convert large SVG file to tiled PNGs?

I have a large SVG file (approx. 60 MB, 10000x10000 pixels but with the potential to get much larger), and I'm wanting to create, say, many tiled 256x256 PNG images from it (in that example there would be 1600 images; round(10000/256)^2).

Does anyone have any idea of how to do this on a web server (running PHP amongst other things)? I thought about rsvg, but it doesn't seem to have any functionality to modify the bounding box (and I'd rather avoid doing it manually for each section). ImageMagick might be able to do it, but I've not been having much luck with getting it to work. Using rsvg to create a large PNG and then using a tool dedicated to tiling very la开发者_JS百科rge images might work, but I've not had any luck finding such a thing! Speed isn't really an issue, although it is desirable, so if the worst comes to the worst, I might look into modifying the SVG's bounding box per section. I could see the generation taking forever, though!

Anyone know of any methods to do this?

Edit 2016-03-02:

I recently came back to needing an answer for this question again, and Inkscape appears to be the only tool which can render SVGs for a given area at given sizes (svgexport almost meets these requirements, but it doesn't let you change the aspect ratio).

My aim was to tile an SVG into 256x256 tiles, and I've now successfully made a script which can tile an arbitrarily large SVG by doing repeated renderings in inkscape of about 16,000 x 16,000 and tiling the resulting images. I've successfully rendered SVGs where the dimensions are over 500,000 x 500,000 pixels—no problems with memory usage (it just takes a long time!)

inkscape has a command line mode to export pngs, taking an optional argument to choose which area to export

inkscape vector.svg --export-png=raster.png --export-area=0:0:100:100

I'd look at Apache Batik. In particular, their SVG Rasterizer looks like just what you need.

I've never used it for giant SVG files, though, so I don't know if it's optimized for that case or not.

Check out this question i posted earlier and got working.

If the image is only 10000x10000 the script i have in the question works best.

If however you want to use much bigger images check out the script in my anser.

ImageMagick crop huge image

PanoJS seems to do what you're asking about. You need to convert the SVG to a large PNG first though (e.g. using inkscape on the command line), and then use PanoJS's tilemaker to make the tiles. It is a very memory intensive beast, but if you can get it to run successfully, you can then use the PanoJS Javascript code to point to your webserver. XKCD used it for a large image describing money.

You might want to edit the source properties of your SVG (a copy), to render certain areas only. Use the "width" and "height" properties to match your desired tile size (256) and the "viewBox" to the desired tile area (for example 'viewBox="512 256 768 512"' for the 3rd tile in the second row). You could do something like this in a loop:

$sed = "sed 's/width=\"10000\"/width=\"256\"' ".$sourcefile;
$sed .= " | sed 's/height=\"10000\"/height=\"256\"'";
$sed .= " | sed 's/viewBox=\"0 0 10000 10000\"/viewBox=\"0 0 256 256\"'";
exec($sed." > ".$tmpfile);
exec('rsvg '.$tmpfile.' > '.$tilefile);

I don't know how this behaves on very large files though.
