this()

Returns a new rsvg handle. Must be freed with [gobject.object.ObjectWrap.unref]. This handle can be used to load an image.

The preferred way of loading SVG data into the returned [rsvg.handle.Handle] is with [rsvg.handle.Handle.readStreamSync].

The deprecated way of loading SVG data is with [rsvg.handle.Handle.write] and [rsvg.handle.Handle.close]; note that these require buffering the entire file internally, and for this reason it is better to use the stream functions: [rsvg.handle.Handle.newFromStreamSync], [rsvg.handle.Handle.readStreamSync], or [rsvg.handle.Handle.newFromGfileSync].

After loading the [rsvg.handle.Handle] with data, you can render it using Cairo or get a GdkPixbuf from it. When finished, free the handle with [gobject.object.ObjectWrap.unref]. No more than one image can be loaded with one handle.

Note that this function creates an [rsvg.handle.Handle] with no flags set. If you require any of [rsvg.types.HandleFlags] to be set, use any of [rsvg.handle.Handle.newWithFlags], [rsvg.handle.Handle.newFromStreamSync], or [rsvg.handle.Handle.newFromGfileSync].

Returns

A new [rsvg.handle.Handle] with no flags set.
