Create image from SVG widget

[Brian Milby]

You do not need a file, but you do need additional code.  I found a handler from a Sep 2018 thread that wraps a path to form the input needed for the compile.  LC Mark mentioned an internal call that could enhance the process but I didn’t see any code that leveraged it.  Let me take a crack at it and see what I come up with.
