Is it possible to use an existing SVG File with base64 embedded Images to render to PNG

I try currently to use an SVG Image (which i templated with go) that should then be rendered into an PNG.
Everything is currently working, but it seems like the Tag inside the SVG is ignored without error.

If i debug after the canvbas.ParseSVG and look atht e canvas.layers Array the Image tag is missing (so i have text tags before and after, and these are there but there is no image tag between).

I noticed that it is possible to render and use images, once because of the Examples and second because the layer struct has a img field, but all img field's are empty.

So is currently the svg tag ignored?

And if so, would it be possible to embedd another SVG into that svg? (so i will convert those icons that i currently have as PNG to an SVG and use them instead)

Hi Bastian, the parsing of SVGs is very rudimentary, and embedded images are not supported (though I'm happy to accept PRs). The ParseSVG seems to be in high-demand, but I cannot justify spending time on (unpaid) open-source at the moment unfortunately...

Thank you for that very quick answer ;)
Thats sadly unfortunately, as for me i try to use it in a little tool i try to build in the little free time ;) and im sadly also not that profound in go that i would say i could really improve the ParseSVG Part...
But i noticed that SVG's embedded into SVG's seem to kinda work, so i will look to trace that Images and use the resulting SVG's out there.
