goto error;

Agreed, it's a bad habit to mix in C-style error handling when RAII is available; now it's fixed.

Manual memory management with malloc and free is a no-no in C++, obviously...

Yup, fixed that too.

And the inheritance from sf::Texture is also a little worrying.
There's no need for it.

Yes, good point. I've removed inheritance and made load function static. Or maybe it will be even better to make it free function, like

bool loadTextureFromSvgFile (Texture& targetTexture, const std::string & filename,
                             const std::string & units = "px", float dpi = 96.0f);

?

I think I'd enjoy a way to get a triangle strip vertex array with right colors and all more than just rasterizing but I have no idea if that's possible with that nanosvg library.

Well, I've managed to get at least lines strip vertex array using nanosvg, so I have to think about that.

I mean, If I want to just rasterize an SVG I can do it offline

Yes, I know, but topics about SVG support appear time to time at forum, so I've decided to make some start

General discussions / Limited SVG support - SVGTexture

Hi folks!

I've found nice library named Nanosvg that provides both SVG parser and rasterizer;
so I've implemented small wrapper around it, that allows to load SFML Texture from '.svg' files.

According to Nanosvg's author, his library (and therefore SVGTexture) has limited support of SVG standart, but still, pretty complex images can be processed. I.e. it renders SFML SVG logo pretty well!

So, here's the code: https://github.com/VL-Impact/SFML-SVGTexture

Any feedback is welcome.
