Example program using ID2D1DeviceContext5 and ID2D1SvgDocument.

Create a bitmap and paint a white stripe on a purple background, with Direct2D.
Render an SVG image (a white circle), if enabled.
Save the bitmap to a PNG file.

Build commands (in Windows Command Prompt):

With MinGW-W64 g++, without SVG (note the -DNO_SVG option):

   g++ -c -o d2d-test.o -DNO_SVG -municode -O0 -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -Werror d2d-test.cpp
   g++ -o d2d-test.exe -municode -O0 -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -Werror d2d-test.o -ld2d1 -lwindowscodecs -lole32 -lshlwapi
   d2d-test.exe output.png circle.svg

With MinGW-W64 g++, with SVG:

   g++ -c -o d2d-test.o -municode -O0 -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -Werror d2d-test.cpp
   g++ -o d2d-test.exe -municode -O0 -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -Werror d2d-test.o -ld2d1 -lwindowscodecs -lole32 -lshlwapi
   d2d-test.exe output.png circle.svg

With MSVC 2019, with SVG:

   cl /nologo /c /Od /W4 /WX /EHsc d2d-test.cpp
   link /nologo /WX d2d-test.obj d2d1.lib windowscodecs.lib ole32.lib shlwapi.lib /OUT:d2d-test.exe
   d2d-test.exe output.png circle.svg


Or use the Makefiles:

With MinGW-W64 g++, without SVG, with MSYS2 mingw32-make:

   mingw32-make

With MinGW-W64 g++, with SVG, with MSYS2 mingw32-make:

   mingw32-make CPPFLAGS=

With MSVC 2019, with SVG, with MSYS2 mingw32-make:

   c:\msys64\mingw64\bin\mingw32-make -f Makefile-vc
