I’m using Geoserver 2.6.2. I need to use a SVG file as an external graphic to style a points layer. When I open the WMS layer in QGIS, the points are not displayed. This is not happening if I use a PNG file.
Here is an extract of my SLD code:
](http://myserver/img/mySymbol.svg%22/%3E) image/svg+xml 40I’m wondering why the image format has to be svg+xml.
Is an additional XML file needed?
Thomas,
Can you access the file http://myserver/img/mySymbol.svg simply from a web browser? If it is indeed on your server, you can put it next to the SLDs in the same directory and make a relative path to the SVG file.
The tag is the mime-type. SVG is an XML sibling, so no need for an additional XML file.
Kind regards,
Edward

Edward,
Thanks for help!
Yes, I can indeed display the SVG symbol in my browser with the URL.
The question remains: *why do PNG files display correctly and SVG files
don't* (both being placed in the same directory)? I would prefer solving
this issue rather than having two different directories for PNG files and
SVG files...
I tested storing the SVG file in the same directory as SLDs and using a
relative path to call the file. This works but the symbol displayed is not
good. It seems to be distorted...
SVG file :
<http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/file/n5244885/svg_file.png>
SVG file as displayed in QGIS :
<http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/file/n5244885/svg_file_qgis.png>
Thanks again in advance for help!

Hi,
We had a problem two years ago with SVG symbols not displaying. We solved it by don't setting the workspace for the style.

Hi Per,
interesting, did you report it? It would be useful to have a reproducible
issue in the ticket tracker

Just for completeness can you open that svg from the machine GeoServer is running on as the user that is running GeoServer?
I’ve had issues in the past with proxies and tomcat not having permission to see the internet.

Hie !
I modified the SLD by retrieving workspace name (no workspace affected): the
display bug is still present...
And yes, I can open the SVG file from the machine GeoServer is running on.

size of the image in the <svg> tag using the width and height attributes is
necessary for GeoServer to properly render the SVG.
GeoServer parses and handles SVG using Batik... I was writing that no new
releases showed up in a long
while, but it seems that in 2015 Batik 1.8 got released (we are using 1.7),
if someone is interested in
checking compatibility with the old version and proper functionality we
could upgrade it in some
next release of GeoServer (for it to be part of GeoServer 2.9.x someone
would have to test it right now,
we'll enter feature freeze in a month)

Great! I've just tried to save my SVG file into « SVG: simple » format (not «
SVG: Inkscape » which is the default SVG format). See screenshot below
(sorry for GUI being in french).
Display is now perfect!
