canvg doesn't work with svg already placed in body?

问题

I want to converty my SVG into CANVAS and then save it as image. I have svg already genereated by javascript in my page. I use this code:

$("#menu-save-image").click(function () {
    var svg = document.getElementsByTagName('svg');
    var canvas = document.getElementById("test");
    canvg(canvas, svg);

    // or second way
    var c = document.getElementById('test');
    var ctx = c.getContext('2d');
    ctx.drawSvg(svg, 0, 0, 500, 500);


});

Both ways doesn't work. Why?

回答1:

canvg method needs SVG source string (or url or XMLDocument), so you should convert the svg element to svg source by using XMLSerializer like this.

var svg = document.querySelector('svg');
var serializer = new XMLSerializer();
var svgString = serializer.serializeToString(svg);
var canvas = document.getElementById("test");
canvg(canvas, svgString);
