I am trying to view a large SVG files (about 20 MB). I tried using squiggle from batik, but it has been rendering for at least 20 minutes without producing any results. A similar file about half the size rendered in under a minute.
If I drag it into a Chrome tab, it appears to render it, but at a size of about 5mm x 5mm, so it looks like a solid rectangle. Ctrl-+ does not make it bigger.
The file is a graph produced by fdp from graphviz. There are tens of thousands of nodes, each filled with one of about 8 colors and several lines of text. There are a similar number of arrows connecting the nodes.
What program would work well for rendering this? I have access to Windows or Linux.

5I'm a bit late to the party, but this is about useless as an answer. The stated question wasn't for a program that can view SVG, just about anything modernish can. It's for something that can cope with extremely large and complex SVG files. I'm currently looking for something that can cope with a quarter million data points in an SVG graph, and having no luck – Leliel – 2017-02-02T16:47:30.877
The answer as is provides no evidence that the named program will cope with such demanding SVG files. – Leliel – 2017-02-02T16:48:12.470
inkscapedoes not cope with 33MB SVG (with whole lot of rectangles), freezes the laptop,eogdoes not really cope either, but at least no freezing with it. – xealits – 2019-04-17T23:35:35.4831Linux, inkscape can edit svg...on ubuntu...sudo apt-get install inkscape – agz – 2013-01-16T19:16:00.657
