Having working url links in an svg image

I would like to have an svg image that is in memory to have urls embedded in it, that when the user clicks they go to another page. I am able to create the image:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from io import BytesIO
   
sns_plot = plt.scatter([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
sns_plot.set_urls(['https://www.bbc.co.uk/news', 'https://www.google.com/', None])
fig = sns_plot.get_figure()
img_in_memory = BytesIO()
fig.savefig(img_in_memory, format="svg")
image = base64.b64encode(img_in_memory.getvalue())
image = image.decode(settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET)
sns_plot.get_figure().clf()

and display it in the template:

<img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,{{image}}" class="img-fluid mx-auto d-block"/>

If I right click and save the image and then open in a browser the links are clickable but when the image is rendered in the browser by django they are not?

Visually examine the HTML that has been rendered and verify that it is correct.

On the django site the html is:

<img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>

And this renders correctly as the image (but without clickable links), when one right clicks ‘open image in new tab’ the links then work

What I notice is that when that element is rendered as you’ve described, it does show up in the developer tools as an image element. However, when you “Open image in new tab”, the image is opened as an <svg ...> element.

If I replace the image element with the full text of the svg element the links work.

I would suggest not base64 encoding the svg, and render the element directly.

Thank you - so iI could just have:

image = img_in_memory.getvalue()

Any idea how should I then reference this in the template?

<img src="data:image/svg+xml;{{image}}"

Does not work

I would try it as {{image|safe}} - it’s a complete html fragment. (You might have to mark it as “safe” so that Django doesn’t escape the tags.)

Thanks but this renders as:

The ‘b’ prefix indicates that this is a bytes array and not a string. Convert this to a string.

Also, and I don’t know for sure either way, but you might also need to remove either (or both) of the ?xml tag and the !DOCTYPE tag.

Amazing it works thank you!
For anyone coming across this this is how i decoded:

 image = image.decode(settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET)

There is no problem with those other tags
