When I tried to follow the steps for SVG to Image, I got this error: "Error: Invalid Parameter - -density". When I closed that window, another popped up saying "ImageMagick Required: convert.exe".

I have ImageMagick downloaded and the shortcut is on my desktop. Any ideas what could be the issue?

Please check if the "ImageMagick path/executable" setting is correctly set. To check the setting, open up your HYSPLIT GUI and click "Advanced" > "Configuration Setup" > "Set Directories."

Hi, thanks for that suggestion. I tried that and now I have a different error message:
convert.exe: FailedToExecuteCommand `"rsvg-convert" -o

Is there something else I should try?

Assuming you are using a Windows computer, could you open a Windows terminal, change directory to where your ImageMagick is installed, and run "convert -version"? My setup outputs the following and note that "rsvg" appears in the "Delegates (built-in)" field. Do you see rsvg in your output?

I also have the same issue. I don't have a convert.exe file in the ImageMagick directory.
If I run convert -version:
Command 'convert' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat # version 1.4+really1.3.35-1, or
sudo apt install imagemagick-6.q16 # version 8:6.9.10.23+dfsg-2.1ubuntu11
sudo apt install imagemagick-6.q16hdri # version 8:6.9.10.23+dfsg-2.1ubuntu11

I managed to fix it by reinstalling imagemagick and there is an option in the setup to include legacy files (convert.exe).

Yes, I'm using Windows. When I type convert -version, I get: Invalid drive specification.

Update: When I type ./convert, I get:

It looks like rsvg is present, but I still get this error when I try to do SVG to Image

The list of built-in delegates is slightly different. However, like you noted, "rsvg" is present. I just was able to convert a plot to GIF using the HYSPLIT GUI.

Let's do one more check. At the conversion UI, there is an input field for "Html Input File." Do you see the input file in your HYSPLIT working directory? If it is there, can you view the plot using your web browser?

How do I locate the " conversion UI"? Is it in a tab in Hysplit or somewhere else? I checked in my hysplit/working directory, and I don't see any file called "Html Input File."
