[svg-developers] Adobe Labs Wallaby's use of SVG

2011-03-10 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

Adobe Labs Wallaby says it converts Flash authoring files (.fla) into
HTML5, but seems like SVG is a large part of HTML5 that they are using:

Re: [svg-developers] Microsoft beta namespace and SVG

2008-07-30 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

Hi David,
I wouldn't hold up too much hope based on the namespace document. I saw
this when it was first published in March, but I doubt if this has much
value as a hint about MS's future intentions regarding bundling SVG support
within IE. In fact, it might lead one to think that they are expecting the
community to provide an SVG plugin (i.e., ASV or replacement for ASV) due
to their examples of integrating SVG support via binary behaviors. I hope
MS has finally decided to stop its policy of slowing the Open Web by
holding back support for SVG (and attempting to force people to use
Silverlight instead and thereby lock people into their platform).

Incidentally, OpenAjax Alliance polled leading Ajax developers about what
features are most important in future browsers and 2D vector graphics was
the top request.

* http://www.openajax.org/runtime/wiki/Summary_Report

Just to be clear, the Ajax community wants *native* SVG support (and
Canvas) in IE, like what we are seeing in Opera and Webkit. (Mozilla appear
to be finally completing its support for SVG, including SMIL.)

Re: [svg-developers] SVG in iPhone

2007-06-12 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

Note that there were separate announcements relative to the iPhone and
Safari3. My guess is that Safari3 isn't running on the iPhone quite yet,
which means SVG isn't running on the iPhone quite yet, but perhaps some
people on this list are actually attending WWDC and have more complete
information.

But nevertheless, it is fantastic that Apple is releasing an updated Safari
that includes SVG. But perhaps even more significant that Safari supporting
SVG to the industry is that Safari is now available on Windows:

Re: [svg-developers] Re: Just noticed a lack of VML support

2007-04-10 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

Hi everyone,
Here is what I know of the history regarding MS supporting SVG in Visio.

When the SVG WG was formed in 1998, Visio was a separate company and a
charter member of the working group. Sometime in the next few years, MS
acquired Visio, but the appearances were that the Visio team was left
intact for the most part and were allowed independence to deliver good
products to their customers. According to statements at SVG Open in 2003 by
MS/Visio people (and I was listening to them carefully because this was
such a curiosity), Visio had a tower of babel problem because there were
many different graphics formats, each requiring their own exporters and
importer. In 2003, SVG seemed to be gaining industry traction. One of the
Visio execs got up in front of SVG Open and told the audience that the
majority of the companies on their customer advisory board had SVG projects
underway. Additionally, there was lots of other industry indication that
SVG was a happening thing in the industry. Nearly all of the software
products with whom Visio needed to work with supported SVG and SVG had the
features that Visio needed. Therefore, Visio invested considerable effort
to use SVG as its unifying format for exchanging graphics data with other
graphics software packages.

Presumably, VML would not have been a good match for their requirements
because few products export or import VML as an interchange format,
possibly because there is no official spec for VML, just the draft spec
that was sent to the W3C back in 1998 (http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-VML.html).

well.

Re: [svg-developers] SVG tiny Vs Basic

2007-02-10 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

Relative to scripting and SVG Tiny:
1) SVG Tiny 1.1 does not require scripting support, but my understanding is
that some mobile implementations of SVG Tiny 1.1 support JavaScript, and
many more support Java via JSR226
2) SVG Tiny 1.2 requires scripting support

In terms of differences between SVG Tiny 1.1 and SVG Basic 1.1, there are
some handy comparison tables starting at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-SVGMobile-20030114/#sec-eleind.

SVG Tiny 1.2 adds gradients and some support for opacity on top of what was
present in SVG Tiny 1.1. (Also adds video and various other features needed
by application developers.!) The most significant graphics feature that is
missing from SVG Tiny 1.2 is lack of clipping and masking. These missing
features aren't used much within business graphics or user interfaces, but
come in very handy for high-end graphics created by professional design
tools.

The most important difference is that SVG Tiny does not support scripting.

Keep in mind that SVG1.1 is now Very Old specification, and the viewer
builders are generally working towards SVGT1.2 (which does contain
scripting)

Re: [svg-developers] Re: SVG Logo Contest

2006-12-21 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

To elaborate on Bjoern's comments, if script elements point to external
JavaScript, then the timing of the HTTP requests to pull down the various
JavaScript files is uncertain, and thus other elements in the DOM tree
might have been parsed and processed before the script logic associated
with a given script element is executed.

I assume that HTML has the same limitation as SVG in this regard. (If not,
then SVG should include whatever feature that HTML has.)

There is no way. The only possible way would be to get the last element
in document order during progressive load. Since SVG 1.1 does not define
the exact processing in this case, and scripts might be run at other
points in time this is genuinely impossible without additional features.

Re: [svg-developers] Adobe extends ASV download availability indefinitely

2006-12-15 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

This announcement by Adobe is certainly a step in the right direction. But
what large parts of the community needs is a bit more:

* Short-term: Ongoing maintenance of ASV3, where ASV is updated to support
new versions of IE, Windows, Firefox, Safari, and maybe a Linux version is
finally made available. Best case scenario would be if Adobe supplied those
updates as part of an ASV 3.0.4/etc or something like that. Next best would
be if Adobe donated ASV to an open source project so the community could
take care of itself.

* Long-term: A cross-browser solution that allows content to be developed
in conformance with the W3C/SVG standard. This would be solved if IE added
SVG support comparable to its competitors, but also could be solved via a
new browser plugin. (Incidentally, neither the Flash format nor WPF/E are
open standards. Those options are for people who don't care about standards
conformance.)

Hi, I could not find the new date when the download would end.

I dont know if this announce has to do with the release of WPF/E

it might not be enough.

Unless Adobe seriously commits himnself to SVG and
ASV (which would be easy considering all the efforts already done) .

It is likely that a large portion (if not all) of the SVG dev. community
depending on ASV for their business will shift to MS WPF/E rather
than flash.

Re: [svg-developers] Mars and svg specifications

2006-12-12 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

I will point out that device-color() was a feature (still is a feature?)
that was listed in drafts of SVG 1.2. So, even with this syntax extension,
Adobe has attempted to be align with where the W3C/SVG appeared to be
headed.

However, maybe Adobe should have used icc-color() instead so that there was
no invention of new syntax on existing attributes. My understanding is that
the ICC specs allow for the definition of device-dependent color spaces.
(Chris Lilley is the expert in this area.) Maybe the SVG WG could look at
this issue and give advice to Adobe.

Re: [svg-developers] Mars and svg specifications

2006-12-12 Thread Jon Ferraiolo
Hi Antoine,
Now that I am no longer with Adobe, I feel more able to express certain
opinions. Regarding SVG Print:

1) Yes indeed, try to partner with how PDF/Mars is using SVG. As you
probably know, PDF is very, very big in the world of printing. An
initiative around SVG for print workflows that was incompatible with
PDF/Mars probably would not be taken seriously by the major players in the
print industry. The print industry already has to support PDF because it
has so much industry momentum (and addresses most of their needs). It would
be much easier for them to add support for the XML version of PDF, with SVG
inside, then take on a whole new SVG Print thing. (Especially since MS is
very aggressively pushing the MS-controlled XML Paper Specification into
the print industry.) Thus, the standards world should try to make the page
images for SVG Print and the page images for PDF/Mars be one and the
same.

2) But beyond that, given that PDF/Mars is based on open standards,
including SVG, why is there an industry requirement for SVG Print as a
separate thing at all? The only viable reason for SVG Print that I can
see would be if Adobe decides to keep all of Mars as an Adobe-controlled
thing, which would be contrary to the W3C goals of promoting truly open
technologies (i.e., not controlled by a single vendor). But if Adobe hands
off the SVG parts of Mars to a legitimate standards process, such as the
SVG WG or AIIM (which manages the PDF/A ISO standard), then instead of
inventing a different SVG Print thing, the SVG WG should work with the
community to define a *single* industry-wide definition of how to use SVG
within print workflows.

Good to hear Leonard. Are there any plans to sync with W3C and the
SVG Print effort to make sure that some of these extensions could be
considered for standardization?

Re: [svg-developers] Mars and svg specifications

2006-12-12 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

Leonard,
What I was saying is that maybe Adobe should not use device-color() for
device color and instead use icc-color() for both ICC color and device
color. The problem with device-color() is that it causes some existing
SVG-conformant interpreters to fail. I assume there will be lots of
Mars-created SVG files that use device-color(), since device color is still
quite popular in the print world, so lots of Mars files won't open in
existing SVG software. If Mars represented device color using the existing
icc-color syntax instead, then the theory is that existing SVG-conformant
interpreters would be able to deal with that content. (Most likely by
ignoring the icc-color() markup.)

Re: [svg-developers] Re: WPF/E Goes Beta Community preview available for download

2006-12-06 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

Hi Jeff,
Good summary of the options. There is one more option - there is always the
faint hope that someone will provide an SVG plugin to replace ASV. (Maybe
you are thinking about doing something in this direction with Mozilla.)

In terms of Dojo2D, my understanding aligns with yours in that it does not
yet support declarative SVG (i.e., SVG markup) and instead requires
building an SVG model in JavaScript via their API calls.

In looking at the dojo 0.4 source code, Dojo2D as it stands today involves
two performance intensive-transformations. First, if you start with SVG
markup, you will have to parse that markup in order to build the Dojo2D
data structures via their API calls. Second, the Dojo2D data structures
will need to be transformed into either SVG or VML within the browser so
that the graphics will render. There needs to be some accelerated code
paths for Dojo2D to be viable for complicated graphics, such as mapping.
For example, on Firefox, why not pass through the SVG markup directly to
the browser without building the Dojo2D data structures, and for IE, why
not use client-side XSLT to transform SVG markup into VML? Another
performance enhancement would be for Dojo to provide a utility which
converts SVG markup into their Dojo2D data structures by invoking their
built-in XML parser (which will build a private DOM image within
JavaScript) and then converting this into their private Dojo2D data
structures. All of this is easier said than done. I don't know what Dojo's
plans are for these enhancements. Of course, it is an open source projects,
so anyone can contribute if they are motivated and have the time.

 You'd still be stuck with the click-to-active behavior of plugins in IE.

The other options outside of an IE plugin are:
1) wait until IE natively implements SVG (and XHTML while we're at it)
2) wait until another browser becomes the dominant UA in web browsing
3) wait until WPF/E becomes widely deployed in IE, write a library to
go from SVG to XAML (note: does this also mean the WPF/E is under the
same click-to-activate behavior in IE6?)
4) update DENG to support full SVG (including scripting)
5) use Dojo2D or another Ajaxy toolkit that supports SVG.  To my
knowledge, Dojo2D doesn't yet support transforming declarative SVG
into VML, it's all done procedurally via scripting, if I'm not
mistaken, which means it's potentially slow, though I haven't tried it)

Anyway, looks like the Mozilla option is almost there (from an
armchair perspective).  But the control/project hasn't been updated in
almost a year, I've emailed Adam to ask if he's still active on it.
I'd also ask where's the Moz 1.8.1 version of the control, but a Moz
1.8.0 version of the plugin would still be worthwhile.

Next, how does one go about configuring an ActiveX control to handle
specific MIME types as a plugin in IE?

Re: [svg-developers] SVGs, JavaScript and Adobe Illustrator CS2 and SVG RoboHelp Question

2006-11-09 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

Hi Charles,
Yes, I agree that one can get around this problem by using a browser that
supports SVG natively, and congratulations to the browsers such as Opera
that do in fact support SVG natively. However, if SVG developers find
themselves forced into supporting stubborn users who continue to support
browsers without native SVG support, such as IE, and must continue to use
ASV, then there is a different workaround. It is the same workaround that
Flash developers have had to use. One URL that shows how to achieve the
Flash workaround is
http://www.informit.com/guides/content.asp?g=flashseqNum=376rl=1. I
believe that the corresponding tricks necessary to do the same thing with
SVG have been posted to this list (or elsewhere), but I haven't been able
to find them.

Because Microsoft got sued by EOLAS and part of their response was to

Use a browser that has native SVG, such as Opera or Firefox (depending on

[svg-developers] Re: Is Adobe's greed clearing the way for XAML

2006-09-08 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

Hi Jeff,
First off, I will say that there are many impressive Ajax toolkits out
there. I am going to point out the virtues of two such toolkits (ie., two
out of about 200), but I want to emphasize that there are lots of great
options in the Ajax space. (The OpenAjax Alliance's mission is to make sure
there is good interoperability between all of this great innovation around
Ajax )

The first Ajax toolkit to highlight is Dojo, which is particularly relevant
to this community because of its SVG-centric Dojo2D component. Dojo is
impressive technology to me. Very nice architectural foundation. Some large
companies, such as my company, IBM, have jumped onto the Dojo bandwagon and
are helping with that open source effort. Dylan Schiemann, one of the
founders of Dojo (and someone who has participated in the SVG community!),
will be giving a talk at AJAXWorld Conference and Expo (Oct 3-4, Santa
Clara, CA) that describes current status with Dojo2D today.

You mention yet another impressive Ajax toolkit with OpenLaszlo. I have
seen recent demos of OpenLaszlo's DHTML support. Very cool and slick. It
looks to me at the 5000ft level that you can do pretty much anything with
OpenLaszlo that you can do with Flex. (Remember that Laszlo did LZX some
time before Adobe did MXML.) With their upcoming Ajax support, OpenLaszlo
now supports rich interfaces via open standards. The Open part of
OpenLaszlo probably refers to the fact that their RIA code base has been
turned over to an open source project.

While I have suggested to Adobe that they hand off parts of the ASV code
base to open source, I don't see hugely compelling value to a *new* SVG
browser plugin at this point, especially given the Mozilla/Firefox support
for HTML+SVG and the fact that groundwork has been laid to build an IE
ActiveX control that includes the Mozilla codebase.

Actually Jon, I agree with both of your recent points... you stole my
thunder on both accounts! ;)

1) Watch out for Dojo 0.4 for the cross-browser 2D graphics API (VML
on IE and SVG everywhere else).  I've been hearing good things,
anyway.

2) Watch for IE8+ (i.e. something after IE7) to support SVG.  Chris
Wilson has been pretty public about the need to support a core set of
web standards, of which he considers SVG a part of.

3) I'll mention a third point:  OpenLaszlo has been working hard on
expanding its offerings to support multiple compilation targets.  By
the end of the year they will support compiling to DHTML as well as
Flash.  There is already some internal work on doing the same for SVG
(though I suspect that SVG support could be rolled into DHTML at some
point).  Anyway, it's high time we started moving up the stack anyway
and getting out of coding applications with a set of cobbled-together
HTML, JS, SVG, XML, CSS files...

In the meantime though, I really think an open source SVG 1.1 browser
plugin is a worthwhile effort, simply because you can never have too
many baskets for your eggs.

Regards,
Jeff

Hi Leonard (and the other 7455 people on this list),

I changed jobs in May, leaving Adobe to join IBM's Emerging Technologies
group to help with OpenAjax. I left Adobe for IBM because this OpenAjax
opportunity was just too attractive, even though my previous assignments at
Adobe were also interesting and fun. (OK. I'll come clean. The REAL reason
was I felt hugely embarrassed about living in Silicon Valley and not
changing jobs in 13 years.) Here are some URLs on OpenAjax:

http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/19187.wss - OpenAjax

http://ajax.sys-con.com/read/233247.htm - About me taking the reins

There will be a lot more information about OpenAjax in the coming weeks. In
particular, we are about to unveil our web site, a white paper, outline
definition of the OpenAjax Hub (and associated open source project),
announcements of new members, and have our second face-to-face meeting.
Very cool stuff. Maybe not as cool as SVG or next-generation PDF, but cool
nonetheless, and as I have mentioned in previous emails, SVG is becoming a
component technology of Ajax. (And I can now hang my head high again in
Silicon Valley due to having job-hopped recently.)

Re: [svg-developers] Re: Is Adobe's greed clearing the way for XAML

2006-09-08 Thread Jon Ferraiolo





Hi Jonathan,
You asked, so I will answer. My opinion on audio and video is that I hope
the browser vendors see the multimedia light and implement the SMIL timing
and animation modules. They have to implement most of it anyway for SVG
1.1, so why not have a bit of foresight and:

* implement the few extra bits needed for future support for what is needed
for SVG-t 1.2
* implement the timing and animation engines as separate modules from SVG
so that it can be used on HTML also (similar to HTML+TIME in IE5.5)
* support SVG-t 1.2's audio and video tags in conjuntion with SVG content
* support audio and video content in conjunction with HTML's object tag

The tricky part is inclusion of industry-standard codecs, some of which
require paying licensing fees, which is hard for freely downloadable
software. To get around this issue, the browser vendors should hook into
existing audio/video player software (QuickTime, WMP, even maybe Flash) via
the HTML object tag which they control from their built-in SMIL engine.

I think this is an important issue for that part of the industry that wants
to create standards-compliant content and not rely on proprietary formats
and single-vendor runtimes. Multimedia is hitting the mainstream (driven in
part by all of those young people uploading bad videos for the world to
see). We need a standards-based approach to playing that content in
conjunction with rich user interfaces.

among other significant outstanding bugs that mozilla/firefox is

Aywk adobe had sound support from the start as does flash. in fact
many authors use flash solely to provide audio on webpages.

I just wondered whether you had considered this issue and whether you

Margie,
Thanks for the kind words. In terms of possible next steps, I suggest
finding a way to express your point of view (professionally, of course)
within a blog or a forum that Adobe would read. (I don't know the degree to
which Adobe monitors this forum and I am not sure what other industry
forums they read these days.) An important thing would be to give detailed
information about the business impact that you face. Adobe is likely to be
more receptive if a company speaks up and talks about any specific
difficulties that they will face and what Adobe could do about relieving
those difficulties. Adobe is less likely to listen to people who simply get
up on their soapbox. (I already did that.)

   Hi Pat,
 Now that I am a member of the community and no longer an employee of
 Adobe, here is my reaction:

 (1) First off, I believe that Adobe deserves a great amount of
 appreciation for their contributions to SVG and the open standards
 world for their activities in previous years. Adobe provided a
 high-quality free implementation of an SVG viewer at large expense.
 (Pat, you know this perhaps better than anyone.) Adobe also has
 provided (and presumably will continue to provide) excellent support
 for SVG in some of its products, particularly Illustrator. Adobe has
 also made large contributions within the standards community on SVG.

 (2) It is understandable that at some point Adobe would announce the
 end-of-life for Adobe SVG Viewer. Since the Macromedia acquisition (at
 least, perhaps even earlier), it is clear that Adobe doesn't consider
 the SVG viewer to be strategic. Also, browsers are adding SVG support
 natively.

 (3) HOWEVER, I believe that some of the details regarding this
 end-of-life announcement are unacceptable to the community and not in
 Adobe's own best interests. To me, it is OK to stop support
 (presumably developer support and security fixes) on Adobe SVG Viewer
 in the relative near-term, but instead of giving four months of
 advanced notice (i.e., 1/1/07), it should be something measured in
 years, something in the range of 2-4 years. (Note: 5 years is the
 usual amount for developer-oriented software.)

 (4) It reflects badly on Adobe that it did not donate the ASV source
 code (at least the higher-level logic that sits above the graphics
 rendering engine) to open soure. If Adobe isn't going to use ASV, then
 it should give it to the community so they can use it. Given how Adobe
 promoted industry adoption of ASV in the early days and thereby
 convinced many developers to build mission-critical applications using
 SVG, it is the least that Adobe could do.

 (5) But the worst part of this announcement is the removal of ASV
 downloads as of 1/1/08, with no option for others to host a different
 ASV download site. As others have pointed out, this will be
 devastating to those poor souls who made a commitment to ASV in the
 past and need their deployed SVG applications to continue working in
 IE, which today has something like 80% market share and is unlikely to
 support SVG natively before a couple of years go by. This particular
 decision reflects badly on Adobe as a business partner with
 developers. If nothing

Re: [svg-developers] Is Adobe's greed clearing the way for XAML

2006-09-07 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

Hi folks,
I want to alert the SVG community to a variation on SVG that might prove
interesting over the long haul for interactive vector graphics.

First, a bit of background. I left Adobe in May to join IBM where I am
leading a new industry initiative, the OpenAjax Alliance. This alliance
represents the collaborative work of 50+ organizations in the Ajax
commmunity, with members including IBM, Sun, Google, Mozilla, Opera, Adobe,
Oracle, SAP, BEA, TIBCO, SoftwareAG, Eclipse Foundation, Intel, Novell,
RedHat, Borland, Dojo Foundation, Zimbra (leaders behind the Kabuki
toolkit), Zend (the PHP company), Backbase, Jackbe, Icesoft, Laszlo, and
Nexaweb.The chief goal is to accelerate customer success with Ajax by
promoting a customer's ability to mix and match solutions from Ajax
technology providers and by helping to drive the future of the Ajax
ecosystem. (Unfortunately, our web site, www.openajaxalliance.org, hasn't
launched yet due to the need for approvals by appropriate committees. It
should launch sometime this month. In the meantime, if you want more
information on OpenAjax, send me a private email.)

The term Ajax has both a narrow and broad meaning. The original (narrow)
meaning of AJAX was about leveraging XMLHttpRequest to provide the
low-level technology in order to achieve partial screen updates and thus a
smoother user experience for HTML applications. Nowadays, the term Ajax
often refers to the broader notion of delivering rich user experiences
leveraging the native features found within web browsers. Ajax frameworks
include Ajax user interface toolkits (such as Dojo or Script.aculo.us) ,
Ajax IDEs (such as Eclipse and Netbeans), and server products such as the
Google WebToolkit..

Using this broader definition of Ajax, Ajax technology providers deliver an
Ajax engine that takes a cross-platform, browser-independent definition
of the web application and then performs an Ajax transformation which
produces appropriate HTML+JavaScript (and sometimes SVG!) to produce the
desired rich user experience.

One particularly interesting development on the Ajax front is recent
addition of 2D graphics support within some commercial products and open
source projects. One such development is the Dojo2D project
(http://dojo.jot.com/Dojo2D), which uses a subset of SVG as input. On
browsers that support SVG, Dojo2D passes the SVG through to the browser. On
IE, it transcodes the SVG into VML. From what I hear, a first version of
Dojo2D is likely to ship within an upcoming release of the Dojo toolkit
sometime soon (probably before the year is out). Mid-release downloads for
the open source tree of course are available today. Google does something
similar today with Google Maps (i.e., SVG on Firefox and VML on IE). Other
announcements in Ajax/SVG space are forthcoming.

Therefore, developers who want 2D graphics and want to realize the benefits
of open standards (e.g., cross-platform support and multiple suppliers)
should key on eye out on Ajax toolkits that offer SVG support.

Hi, Geoffrey-

Yes, I for one welcome our new vector format overlords. ;)

I do agree that Flash is a little underpowered in the programming side
(from what I've seen).  But XAML is way too overworked.  I think SVG is
in a sweet spot between the two, and it's based on standards that are
widely implemented.

We don't know yet how SVG in IE will play out, but I'm not ready to jump
ship yet.

2006-09-07 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

Guy,
I have been biting my tongue, but your email was too provocative.
Generally, I agree with your points. My additional comments:

* The open source phenomenon is huge. The same phenomenon that transformed
the server world (what with LAMP) is starting to affect the client world.
Although the threat isn't imminent, over the next few years MS is in danger
of losing control over the browsing experience to Mozilla and Safari, both
of which are open source and both of which implement W3C standards
successfully. Firefox's market share is likely to accelerate in the
short-term as Enterprises discover its merits as a strong platform for
application development and begin to require its usage instead of IE for
Enterprise applications. This will result in larger numbers of people who
start to feel comfortable with Firefox (because of being forced to use it
at their company) and therefore comfortable in abandoning IE for browsing
the Web. (Note that Google is investing a ton of money in Mozilla these
days. Microsoft is very much aware of this.)

* As a result, Microsoft will be forced to re-embrace standards in order to
stop the loss of market share and reclaim control over their own Windows
platform. Microsoft will be forced to do whatever it takes in order to push
Firefox's (and Safari's) market shares down below 5% once again, and
(unfortunately for them) in today's world that includes world-class support
for open standards. And, thanks to the leadership at Firefox, Safari, and
Opera, SVG has become a requirement. Microsoft has been aware of all of
this for a long time. Therefore, I expect to see SVG support in IE betas by
the end of 2007.

* I would be hugely surprised if Microsoft followed Adobe's lead and
announced VML end-of-life in the same (unacceptable) manner as Adobe.
Microsoft is considerably more sensitive to supporting their existing
community of developers. When VML is EOL'd, Microsoft will give something
like a 5-year window before VML quits working with new versions of IE.

Or at least that what my personal crystal ball shows.

Jon

Yes, it gives the lie to the lip service they give to standards
adherence. M$ in particular only support those standards that they
feel benefit their business (like someone else said, there's no other
reason for them to release software for free).

Honestly, how hard would it have been from MS to enable native SVG
support, given that they already had VML, which has been in IE since
v5? Should we really believe their weasel words about it coming in
IE8? I don't think so!

I'm now wondering how long it will be before MS announces the EOL for
VML, as a way of trying to screw projects like http://dojo.jot.com/
Dojo2D and push everyone towards using XAML.

Personally, I'd be VERY reluctant to start porting apps to XAML,
given that at the moment even M$ are not committing to it being
available on anything but Vista - that's going to be a pretty limited
market for a long time, even putting to one side that it leaves any
non-windows users out in the cold. This might be fine for corporate
applications, but wake up people, there's plenty of users moving away
from Windows these days! From my web logs I'd say only 75% of users
are using IE now - 25% of users is a pretty big chunk to lose by
building your app using IE/Windows-dependent technology!

A cornerstone of the web is that it be accessible to all - this means
it must be cross-platform compatible. MS has never really wanted this
to be so, but it is. They'll keep trying to push a windows-centric
world view on the world, but i believe ultimately this must fail. The

At this point, Adobe has no plans to do anything which would disrupt any
ASV3 installations or dependencies on ASV3 downloads. If we come out
with new viewing technology which includes SVG support, we will be
highly sensitive towards the needs of SVG applications that are
installed in the field today. I also want to say that Adobe's primary
attitude towards SVG is fully positive: it represents a market
opportunity for our products and a technology opportunity when we are
looking for an XML representation of 2D graphics. Although the FAQ only
mentioned SVG on mobile devices, that was meant solely as a positive
acknowledgement of SVG momentum in the mobile space and was *not* meant
to imply anything negative about SVG in the desktop space.

The FLEX server product supports SVG. Under the hood it uses Batik with
extensions to convert SVG into SWF. So, I would guess you could use a
tool like Adobe Illustrator to create the SVG files which FLEX would
convert into SWF. I don't remember all of the details, nor do I know
future product plans in this area.

Subject: [svg-developers] Separating shapes and animation (XAML-like)

 

I've toyed around with the way XAML (like SMIL) separates the 
declaration of shapes and animations using timelines with TargetName 
or TargetID.

There's a number of drawbacks as far as I can see it now if you want 
to do the same in SVG.

I tried these:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1?
svg xmlns:xlink=http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink; 
xmlns:svg=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg;
  defs
rect x=0 width=50px height=50px id=myRectangle 
fill=green/rect
  /defs
  use xlink:href=#myRectangle
animateColor attributeName=fill from=blue to=red 
begin=0s dur=6s repeatDur=indefinite /
  /use
  defs
rect x=100 width=50px height=50px id=myRectangle2/rect
  /defs  
  use xlink:href=#myRectangle2
animateColor attributeName=fill from=blue to=red 
begin=0s dur=6s repeatDur=indefinite /
  /use
  rect x=200 width=50px height=50px id=myRectangle3 
fill=green
animateColor attributeName=fill from=blue to=red 
begin=0s dur=10s repeatDur=indefinite /
  /rect
/svg

Drawback #1: You must put the shape in a defs-section, otherwise 
you end up with a second rectangle because of the use-element.

Drawback #2: You cannot animate the fill, if the fill is already set 
on the original rectangle (myRectangle). This does not occur with 
inline animations, or if the fill is left out in the original.

Drawback #3: I saw no way of putting an animate into a defs-
section, then refer to it from an inlined use, like:

defs
animate id=a1 ... /
/defs

rect
  use xlink:href=#a1 /
/rect

Is there a good solution for this?


Thanks,

Toine.

Re: [svg-developers] Adobe Illustrator exporting SVG?

2005-08-15 Thread Jon Ferraiolo
I will back up I'lam's response to say that Adobe continues to invest 
heavily in improving its SVG support in Adobe Illustrator. SVG support 
(particularly, SVG-Tiny) was one of the major engineering investment areas 
with the CS2 version of Illustrator. The investment continues: there will 
be further SVG improvements in the next version of Illustrator, also.

Short answer, not true.

Illustrator CS2 (and CS) tries to write primitive if
it can.  If you draw a perfect circle, it will write a
circle element, if you draw an elipse it will write an
elipse, if you draw rectangle (even rotated), it will
write rect with the proper rotation, only in complex
transformation things default to path element.

On the other hand (this is only in CS2), if you import
primitives, it will preserve them too, so if you
import a line element, it will keep it line when
exported, if you import an elipse that has rx=ry, it
will keep it elipse, even though it looks like circle.
In CS2, animation is preserved as well as any XML

applies to script element, some defs, etc..., you will
be able to see those unknown elements in the layer
palette as objects that you can move around.

The goal in Illustrator CS2, among small exported file
size, is to round trip svg files that are not created
entirely in Illustrator.

  Is the following true?
 
  When exporting vectors to SVG, Adobe Illustrator
  creates only path
  elements, not SVG primitives. Even though Adobe
  Illustrator has an
  ellipse tool and a rectangle tool, it does not
  export rect or
  ellipse elements. circle, line, polyline,
  and polygon
  elements are not generated, either. Therefore, you
  cannot employ a
  technique (like a script or an SVG animation
  element) that manipulates
  a special characteristic of a primitive. For
  example, you cannot write
  JavaScript
  function to change the radius of a circle, because
  Adobe Illustrator
  will not export an object as a circle element. (Of
  course, you could
  always edit an SVG document by hand and replace a
  path element with
  a circle.)
 
  I can see that Illustrator CS2 does rely on path
  element but when I
  downloaded the trial version, I could see two two
  rect elements when
  I created svg file from Illustrator CS2 after using
  the rectangle tool
  in the shape toolbar.
 
  Does anybody knows how Illustrator exports SVG? What
  elements it uses
  etc..?

Re: [svg-developers] SVG fonts in ASV

2005-06-26 Thread Jon Ferraiolo
Adobe acknowledges that there is a bug in ASV3 where it does not implement 
the 'font-family' property correctly when a list of fonts are provided (or 
presumed). The CSS2 spec says that you are supposed to look for a matching 
glyph in each of the fonts specified in the 'font-family' property (and 
presumably include at one generic font as a fallback font even if it isn't 
listed), but ASV3 uses a simplified and incorrect approach where it picks a 
single font for any text run and does not do per-glyph checks as required 
by the CSS2 spec. It is almost certain that Adobe will not issue a dot 
release of ASV3 to fix this bug. Any fixes in this area would only come as 
part of a major new release if/when such a major new release were issued.

  Thanks Philippe, this fixed the problem!
 
 
 I don't know the spec. enough to say if this is the required behavior or
 not.

This is not conformant behavior from the CSS 2 spec (15.5 step 7):

 If there is a matching font face, but it doesn't contain
 glyph(s) for the current character(s), and if there is a next
 alternative 'font-family' in the font sets, then repeat from
 step 2 with the next alternative 'font-family'.

text font-family=test, serifhi/text
 
  my guess is that the 'h' and 'i' should be rendered with serif's glyphs,
  rather than with test's missing-glyph.  At least, that is what Batik
  does.  And it seems sensible.  But in ASV it will use the missing-glyph.

 Batik's behavior is the correct behavior ASV's is not conformant
to the CSS 2 specification.

RE: [svg-developers] Options for inclusion of SVG and MathML in OpenReader format?

2005-05-26 Thread Jon Ferraiolo
(I am a different Jon than the one who started this thread)

Mark's comment below about XHTML2 and the Sidewinder viewer are all 
correct. However, I would add that the W3C has another standards effort in 
process right now, the Compound Document Formats (CDF) Working Group, which 
is working on the whole area of combining W3C markup languages 
into  compound document formats.The first round of CDF is focused on 
compound documents by reference with an industry focus on mobile devices, 
particularly XHTML Mobile Profile, SVG-Tiny, CSS Mobile Profile, and 
ECMAScript Mobile Profile, where we want to set a low bar for mobile 
implementers to maximize the chance of strong interoperability on a short 
timescale. The OBJECT tag is primary means for achieving by reference. So 
far, I am not aware of CDF discussions relative to XHTML2 either positively 
or negatively. Certainly, XHTML2 should be discussed as CDF moves forward, 
particularly when the topic of compound documents by inclusion (e.g., 
XHTML with inline SVG) gets addressed.

Hi Jon,

Can I address some of your points with two different hats on! The first is
as an Invited Expert on the HTML and XForms Working Groups, and the second
is as a developer of products that aim to combine many of the languages that
you mention.

  The OpenReader format, currently under development by the
  OpenReader Consortium, will, in its basic form, essentially
  be an encapsulation of an OEBPS 1.2 Publication. In turn
  OEBPS 1.2 is based on XHTML 1.1, and provides document
  extensibility and media fallback mechanisms. For more
  information on OEBPS 1.2, refer to
 
  
 http://www.openebook.org/oebps/oebps1.2/download/oeb12-xhtml.htmhttp://www.openebook.org/oebps/oebps1.2/download/oeb12-xhtml.htm
  
 .
 
  We wish to include support for both SVG and MathML in the
  OpenReader format.
 
  So what mechanism(s) do the SVG and MathML experts recommend
  for inclusion of islands of SVG and MathML markup within
  XHTML 1.1 documents?

With my 'developer' hat on, you may want to look at our Sidewinder Viewer,
available for download from the formsPlayer site. The viewer validates and
renders XHTML documents that can contain XForms 1.0 or 1.1, SVG and MathML.
There are still some holes in the schemas, but most things you would want to
do can be done, although they are being tidied up a lot for the XHTML 2
work. Some examples are available with the download.


  Also, do SVG and MathML provide their
  own media fallback mechanisms [see note below], or will we
  need to provide that?

With my 'Invited Expert' hat on, you may want to look at XHTML 2. One of the
changes from 1.1 to 2.0 is that the @src attribute is now allowed
everywhere. It works much like object works now, with the contents of the
element coming in to play if the @src fails. This provides a very flexible
fallback mechanism.


  (I recall seeing an attempt at an XHTML+SVG+MathML
  DTD/Schema.

I think it was a success ;) ... But it did show how much work was required
to manage all the permutations of languages.


  I also recall reading that using the object tag
  for inclusion of SVG and MathML is not recommended.

Back to my developers hat--the Sidewinder Viewer does not need object tags,
but it will automatically manage the Adobe plug-in for SVG, the Design
Science plug-in for MathML and the formsPlayer plug-in for XForms. This
means that you should be able to run the same document in Sidewinder, the
appropriate build of Mozilla, Opera and so on.

Mark

Re: [svg-developers] RE: Read this Article?

2005-04-23 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

In terms of history, VML, and the W3C:

In April 1998, Adobe, IBM, Netscape and Sun co-submitted PGML to the W3C. 
(Common speculation was that this was really an Adobe thing, which I 
definitely can validate as being mostly true.)

In May 1998, Microsoft, Macromedia, Visio, Autodesk and HP co-submitted. 
(Common speculation was that this was really a Microsoft thing, which seems 
pretty clear based on how they went and shipped it.)

Earlier in 1998, there was a Web Schematic submission from Oxford-Brooks 
Univ. in England.

In August, 1998, the W3C held its first SVG WG meeting. Between August and 
October 1998, the SVG WG discussed and then published requirements for the 
SVG language.

Based on those requirements and the various ideas from the three 
submissions, the SVG WG systematically defined the SVG language in such a 
way as to meet the stated requirements. Some of SVG's features were modeled 
after PGML (e.g., the SMIL Animation features). Other features were more 
like VML (e.g., the compact path syntax and the use of CSS).

PGML was basically just an XML expression of the PostScript graphics model, 
but adding web things like opacity, interactivity, scripting and animation.

VML generally is pretty good, but it could not be accepted as is by the 
W3C. For example, it has some weirdnesses regarding coordinate systems 
where object sizing can have a discontinuity across rotation at the 45 
degree angle point. The SVG WG did not feel it was good that rotating an 
object via an animation would cause a discontinuous jump in the dimensions 
of the object as you cross the various 45 degree angle positions. There 
were a handful of other issues about VML. Most of these stemmed from VML's 
heritage as an XML expression of the particular set of features that ship 
with Office, versus the W3C's interest in a general-purpose graphics language.

I fail to see how you would have accurate knowledge of that or where you

from the truth.

VML was very much *not* offered to W3C. I believe the words were this
is already implemented and we have no intention of allowing anyone else
to change it.

Re: [svg-developers] Re: Adobe please distribute SVG Viewer ...MASSIVELY !!!

2005-02-10 Thread Jon Ferraiolo

Hi folks,
As everyone knows very well by now, Adobe does not preannounce its product 
plans. Because of this, it is highly frustrating for me personally to not 
be able to provide details about what Adobe has under development, 
particularly to the pioneers in the SVG community who got on the bandwagon 
early and have helped all of the rest of us implement solutions. 
Unfortunately, all I can say at this point is that Adobe is working on a 
major viewer upgrade.

Cor,
you name it.
I was waiting for Mr. Ferraiolo to speak up. Hence, just some spots:

-Microsoft and others (including Autodesk!) submitted vml to w3c in
early 1998
-Adobe and Others (including IBM, Sun) submitted pgml to w3c a few
weeks later

-MS had a native browser implementation ready (IE 5), vml had (*has*
(google;-)) a tremendous reach

-vml would give MS Office the ability to spread documents thought
the web, both text and *inline* graphics. Isn't that a major pdf
domain?

-we know, no vml, no pgml, *all* together they cook up svg

Ok, pdf and svg:
-Acrobat Reader 5 (full install) shipped ASV 2
-ASV 3 already was a separate download
-Acrobat Reader 6 (full install) would contain ASV5 (e.g. photo
album stuff), but won't ship the browser integration
-Addobe Reader 7 (full install) would contain ASV6, of course,
won't
ship the browser integration
If you sum up, there's quite a large crowd out there having svg
engines on their machines. These are svg's concealed assets! Do
you
have to be a Conspiracy theoretician to put the maladjustments down
to politics?

If you're curious what Adobe is taking care of read
the `intelligent' pdf (xml empowered pdf) documentation at
Adobe.com. If you still curious what's in pdf check out some of
the
Interactive 3D graphic models in PDF
(ftp2.bentley.com/dist/collateral/Web/flyover_dtm.pdf,
ftp2.bentley.com/dist/collateral/Web/SouthBeachMotorsfly3.pdf, …)

needed' 8-O

PS
descbiassed readers, skip this ;-)/desc
Yet again, xaml is in the position to compete with pdf. This time
the dominant ms windows user squad will get powerful native os
(+hardware) display support and a xaml document generator on board.
There's one thing for sure, MS will get the technology shipped to
the mass.

  Without that type of broad based support, SVG may never get past
its
  boutique usage stage.
 
  Applying the same logic, however, the same could become of (the
vector
  graphics part of) XAML unless some type of multi-platform, multi-
browser
  XAML graphics rendering engine is made available.
 
  An alternative path would be for SVG, or a subset of it, to be
absorbed into
  XHTML, which might (somewhat) force the hand of anyone creating
something
  browser-like to support SVG.
 
  Let's face it - all most of us really need is some relatively
simple vector
  graphics rendered in our browsers.  All of the exotic filters and
transforms
  and some of the more esoterica in SVG are in the nice to have
category.
  I'd be deliriously happy to have SVG Basic or even SVG Tiny
supported
  natively by all major browsers.
 
  In hindsight, VML was pretty darn close to what was needed.  It is
a shame
  that the divergence occurred.  I don't pretend to understand the
politics or
  dynamics, but in any case, it suc%s for everyone involved.
 
  For now, we're sticking to SVG on the server-side for dashboarding
  applications, but I hope that can change in the future.

  Hi,
 
  I have been following the SVG discussions for a couple of years now
  (and an early adopter as well). However the cry out to Adobe for
support
  on SVG is quite old. Far too old
 
  To them it is just another business case. They 've invested some
money and
  they
  want to see ROI now. In other words they need to have a profitable
  business model (paying customers!). Aparently they have not.
  Another gossip is that SVG could compete with their PDF technology
(which is
  currently profitable!).
 
  The fact that this discussion lingers on and on, without possitive
  feedback from the (historical) biggest investor (or any other
company for
  that matter)
  says more then enough I think.
 
  Unless there is a significant (profitable) demand for this
technology
  shortly,
  MS will set
