Hi All,

There is now a new library available for rendering SVG images.

> **[2 Quick Start](https://docs.racket-lang.org/svg-manual/Quick_Start.html)**

The two most useful functions are `svg-file->pict` and `svg-string->pict`.  
The renderer is implemented in Racket, so no external shared libraries are needed.
