Conversion from SVG does not allow <use> tags to reference IDs that follow the <use> tag. The attached SVG has a rect that is referenced once before and once after its definition. It should render properly. Instead the following error is thrown (bare bone test file attached):
$ gm convert bad.svg bad.png
gm convert: invalid primitive argument (Primitive "use" id "badRect" not defined).
Other renderers have no problem with the tag ID ordering in the SVG file.
Tested on latest hg version locally compiled (GraphicsMagick 1.4 snapshot-20230907 Q8).
I took a look, and do see the problem. I am not sure how to address it yet.
