# turn on alpha channel and set background to transparent
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "GMImage.SetType"; $image; 7 ) ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "GMImage.SetBackgroundColor"; $Image; "transparent" ) ]
# read SVG
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "GMImage.ReadContainer"; $image; SVG to PNG::InputFile; "500x500"; 0; "SVG" ) ]
# Output to container and release image
