Hi Martin,

I'm not sure I know what you mean by SVG2RTG, but I assume you mean
SVG2RLG, where RLG means "ReportLab Graphics". The svglib module
that you have probably downloaded from the following page contains
eight sample SVG files plus their PDF equivalents generated by
svglib: http://python.net/~gherman/svglib.html .

Here's what I do to convert one such sample SVG file to PDF:

[localhost:svglib/sources] dinu% python svglib.py
svglib.py (v. 0.5) - an experimental SVG to RLG/PDF converter
Usage: python svglib.py [--help] <file1.svg(z)> [<file2.svg(z)> ...]
[localhost:svglib/sources] dinu%
[localhost:svglib/sources] dinu% python svglib.py ../samples/newlion.svg
../samples/newlion.svg
[localhost:svglib/sources] dinu%

I hope that helps.

Dinu
