Developer Guide > How to Work with... > SVG and Other Vector Formats > Loading a Vector Drawing

Loading a vector drawing is done using the same methods used to load other types of images. However, before loading the drawing, you must first enable support for the vector formats you want to use. For example:

C#
Copy Code
using ImageGear.Formats;
using ImageGear.Formats.CGM;
using ImageGear.Formats.DWF;
using ImageGear.Formats.HPGL;
using ImageGear.Formats.SVG;
using ImageGear.Formats.U3D;
using ImageGear.Formats.PDF;
using ImageGear.Formats.Office;
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearCGM.CreateCGMFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearDWF.CreateDWFFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearHPGL.CreateHPGLFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearSVG.CreateSvgFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearU3D.CreateU3DFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearOffice.CreateWordFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearOffice.CreateExcelFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearOffice.CreatePowerPointFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearPDF.CreatePDFFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearPDF.CreatePSFFormat());
VB.NET
Copy Code
Imports ImageGear.Formats

ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearCGM.CreateCGMFormat())
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearDWF.CreateDWFFormat())
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearHPGL.CreateHPGLFormat())
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearSVG.CreateSvgFormat())
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearU3D.CreateU3DFormat())
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearOffice.CreateWordFormat())
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearOffice.CreateExcelFormat())
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearOffice.CreatePowerPointFormat())
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearPDF.CreatePDFFormat())
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearPDF.CreatePSFFormat())
