Re: [svg-developers] Re: Converting SVG to PDF

Hi Richard,

You can embed svg into pdf aimed at the Acrobat reader...Maybe that would be 
easier for you?

 Hi,

 I started this thread with the main objective of producing PDF
 versions of my SVG comics (which are rather complicated, with
 filters, interactivity, animation etc.) so I could put them on
 wowio.  I have no interest in DFX but it may be a means to some end
 and I can't speak for other people.

 I didn't know you could save SVG files as PDF using Inkscape.  The
 files I want to convert have features which Inkscape doesn't support
 (e.g. animation, JavaScript). I tried converting one of my comics and
 it looked better in the Adobe Reader than in Inkscape although the
 interactivity didn't work (therefore I couldn't test SMIL) and it
 didn't seem to be appliying external CSS styles.  A lot of the
 Javascript is also in external files so this may be the problem
 rather than Inkscape or PDF not supporting it.  Before I spend a lot
 of time experimenting, does anybody know if and how you can have
 filters, images, SMIL and Javascript in PDF converted by Inkscape. Is
 there some other cheap or free converter which will handle this
 better?

Re: [svg-developers] IE7 to FireFox

Hi Julie,

A common problem in IEx - FFy is ecascript naming issues. Take a look at the 
ecmascript specification.

http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm

Also, take a look at your javascript error console in FF to identify your 
scripting bugs quickly (well, one at a time)

Re: [svg-developers] Adobe SVG reload problem

2007-02-11 Thread Ronan Oger
This looks suspiciously like an intranet proxy, serverside, or browser-side 
cacheing problem. I would look there for the source of the problem first.

However, that said, did you know that in IE with ASV, the svg content is 
actually loaded twice? For web apps where state is maintained serverside, 
such as partial updates based on changes on the server for games or 
multi-user systems, IE/ASV has problems with getting you the correct 
information.

 The SVG map itself is a large SVG file (almost 2 megs uncompressed).
 From the looks of it the Adobe SVG Plugin is not reading through all
 the data after multiple refreshes, as at first the image loses a lot of
 detail, and then if the user attempts to reload the page again then
 usually nothing appear (or they get even less detail).

 Is there something I need to do to unload the SVG file from memory
 before the page unloads?  Is there a way to force the plugin to reload
 (because currently the user has to close the browser and open a new
 browser before SVG images will start appearing again).

Re: [svg-developers] Application for Drawing SSM Diagrams

2007-01-30 Thread Ronan Oger
your problem is not related to OS version, i have used batik producs in winxp 
without problems.

batik comes in a zip file. unzip it in a directory, enter the directory on the 
command line, and type the following:

java -jar batik-squiggle.jar

If this works, your files are correctly installed.

As far as getting a proprietary IDE to find the source files, all I can say is 
use eclipse, it works very well. If you insist on using the Netbans IDE, try 
reading the doc. Most likely you need to import the jar files in your 
CLASSPATH, or some proprietary equivalent.

Good luck, and RTFM :-)

Re: [svg-developers] Re: Animation in Firefox

2006-10-23 Thread Ronan Oger
Doug Schepers has written a javascript library that lets SMIL animation run in 
browsers which do not support SMIL.

It requires a code change in your SVG, and may not support all SMIL events. 
However, it does bridge some of the gap.

  It has worked in earlier versions.

 The current (major) version of Firefox is 1.5 and that is the first
 version to natively support SVG at all. Firefox 1.5 does not support
 SMIL animations in SVG (e.g. the animate or animateColor elements you
 have) at all. You would need to script animations with
 setTimeout/setInterval and DOM scripting.

 Unless you used a plugin with earlier versions of Firefox I don't
 understand why you claim that animations worked. If you continue to
 use that plugin then the animations should work independent of the
 Firefox version. Firefox 1.5 by default has native SVG enabled thus if
 you want to disable that you need to set the property svg.enabled to
 false after loading about:config in a browser window.

 Firefox 2.0 will not support SMIL animations either with its native
 SVG implementation.

Re: [svg-developers] Re: new population pyramid = now firefox and opera-compliant

2006-09-27 Thread Ronan Oger
Antione is right, html wrappers are unnecessary. However, they do offer better 
visibility as a page when searching on google. Google treats svg as images 
and html as documents with context. if you want your svg page indexed in 
google and searchable with normal search (rather than as an image) then 
embedding it in an html page helps.

However, it would be more elegant to make an xhtml document with inline svg 
than make an html document with embedded svg.

Also, it would be just as nice to have an html lead-in page pointing to the 
svg document on a link.

 As far as I know, and I may be wrong, you really don't need an HTML

Re: [svg-developers] Newbie query - Doc displays when dragged into browser but not via apache

2006-09-22 Thread Ronan Oger
Hi there,

I cut and pasted your code and it worked for me in FF1.5 and O9.02...

http://www.hackmare.com/2006/09/22/01.html

Is your php generating some headers in the dynamic svg? maybe take a look at 
what is really going on in your php...

ps my apache configuration is out of the box.

 A quick bit of background. The aim is to create SVG symbols on the fly
 (in PHP) to layer over a jpg. So the svg needs to be transparent,
 hence the embed bit as it was a way of making transparency work.

 I have put example code below and example SVG content.

 I'm presuming this is an apache/standards thing but can't work it out.
 Any ideas greatly appreciated plus if there is a better way of
 achieving transparency.

Re: [svg-developers] Re: Performance tips

2006-09-21 Thread Ronan Oger
Revelon, 

Optimisation is often browser-specific, beyond the tried and true methods such 
as the good ones which Phi Tran offered.

Have you considered looking at whether it is your svg code or your scripting 
which is eating CPU cycles? Complex javascript is resource consuming if there 
are no breaks in the code that give other processes a chance to go. For games 
which often work with infinite loops, it is possible that you might be 
consuming all the cpu resources simply because you tell your javascript to.

For Moz-specific performance questions, you might consider asking on the irc 
channel svg on irc.mozilla.org. alternatively, there is the 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list that has members with the 
expertise you require.

 A pixel

 forcing

  the player to calculate and paint extra pixels  (maybe 10- 15. . .)

   I use multiple layers specially those that serve as the background.

 do not

   Note:
   Every time updating the player does not know which and which. A

 pixel may

   be drawn multiple times of background and in order to come to the

 final

   foreground colors You want to avoid that...
  
   The drawback of this scheme is:
   - You may have to maintain multiple SVGs.
   - More SVG external javascript coding.
  
   There is only few style and attributes items that actually affect the
   drawing but I have scanned thru thousands of SVG files. Many of

 them (99%

   plus) have lengthy attribute and lengthy style. It does nothing

 but only

   wasting the CPU time. Remember: the player need to maintain all of

 them

Re: [svg-developers] Re: Free (or inexpensive) SVG Editors

2006-09-19 Thread Ronan Oger
Alastair,

1) I answered your question

2) You did not answer my question as an interested party

3) You resent my stated concern on another list that as an employee of an 
engineering services company I feel that you are unqualified to offer to 
organise a global SVG conference unless your employer backs the conference. 
As I repeated to you to exhaustion, this is due to the risk that your 
employer - who owns your schedule - has different priorities than you do. 
They may therefore have a need to reassign you in a manner that will cause 
the conference to once again be cancelled.

As I have also said to exhaustion, this point is for Andreas Neumann only to 
consider.

I am sorry that you take this as a sign of persecution. I have never worked 
for your employer, and have never been presecuted by them.

Back to the relevant point...

Please stick to the matter at hand and answer my questions. You are asking for 
something for free, the least you can do is give an idea to potential 
volunteers who is asking for this favour. The questions I asked are 
reasonable and in good faith. 

If you chose not to answer them, I will chose not to help you get the 
information.

[svg-developers] Replace ASV with CSV

2006-09-18 Thread Ronan Oger
With the furore over the demise of ASV, people seem to have forgotten that 
there is already another SVG viewer plugin for IE: Corel SVG Viewer is freely 
downloadable.

It has limitations and was stifled by Adobe, but is actually a well-rounded 
viewer that does everything ASV did except SMIL (like everyone else).

So instead of some of us prematurely jumping off tall buildings, you might 
consider that there is an alternative.

Re: [svg-developers] microsoft jscript runtime error javascript object null

2006-09-12 Thread Ronan Oger
Why dont you get him to also load FF and turn on the ecmascript debugger?, so 
you can see if you can catch the cause of the problem.

Could it be something silly like you have multiple js source files and for 
some reason he is not getting one of them (serverside security for example, 
or your version is cached)?

Re: [svg-developers] Re: Announcement: Adobe to Discontinue Adobe SVG Viewer

2006-09-09 Thread Ronan Oger
Actually, there are a number of options at this point.

For one thing, the existence of a free browser plugin from Adobe, which hoped 
to bring in revenues from serverside sales,  made it difficult for 
competitors to offer alternative browser plugins.

For example, there are a number of svgt1.2 viewers out there, any one of which 
could be turned into a low-cost svg plugin into IE if the vendors find an 
alluring business case.

However, the appearance that MS are working on an svg solution for IE8 means 
that any vendor thinking of going with a plugin for their viewer has a 
limited window of opportunity.

It is far too early in the development of the demise of ASV to assume the 
worst-case scenarios. They have created a vacuum for IE, and either someone 
will fill it or IE users who want SVG will move to another platform. After 
all, IE now has less than 80% of the platform worldwide, and in Europe that 
number is far, far lower. When IE is missing a feature, that is no longer the 
feature's demise, and is more yet another drop in user base for IE (hence 
their working on an svg solution).

 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
 launched with 15 original members
 http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/19623.wss - OpenAjax gains

 report on first OpenAjax Alliance meeting
 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] Announcement: Adobe to Discontinue Adobe SVG Viewer

2006-09-06 Thread Ronan Oger
There are rumours that IE8 will have native svg support.

The rumour says that IE7 won't have it because it was too difficult and too 
late support it, but that a decision was made to support svg in IE8.

This makes sense given that IE is slipping in rankings behind other 
implementations that do support SVG, and it is hard to regain/stop-loss when 
your competitors offer more than you do.

Something to keep in mind is that a technology which supports XAML will easily 
supports svg, since the there is a huge overlap in functionality only the 
slightest element name changes.

Then again, rumours are just that. 

Maybe IE staff would care to comment on this rumour

Re: [svg-developers] generating two documents from a single xsl

2006-09-05 Thread Ronan Oger
Are you able to process two xslts in your application, or to process your xslt 
twice?

This way, you can generate the html page that contains a url which induces a 
call to the svg page generator...

A more elegant way to do this would be xhtml with inline svg.  FF and Opera 9+ 
support this. However, centuries-old IE/ASV do not support this.

Re: [svg-developers] Re: SVG Logo Contest: personal preferences sought

2006-09-05 Thread Ronan Oger
Jonathan... Piggybacking on Doug's response.

Doug is on the *SVG* workgroup, and as he says, he is organising an *SVG* 
contest.

If a w3 (or other) workgroup wishes to provide best practices for 
accessibility that can be applied to SVG, then I am sure that Doug's contest 
will consider supporting this.

However, there is no point in arguing this point to death on this group. It's 
simply not the right context to beat this to death in. We can't all be 
experts in all things.

Why don't you put your point forward to WAI? Maybe it's worth putting them 
over a barrel more than it is worth sticking it to Doug.

SVG is nothing more than the rendering layer for peoples' applications after 
all, and we will never be able to display to many people (like those without 
PCs for example).

Somehow, I don't imagine WAI or anyone else proposing any panaceas. The 
general thing i see so far seems to be descriptions and metadata.

 I never claimed to understand every issue involving accessibility, nor

 set of accessibility needs.

   the logo will be distinctive, simple, and elegant.

is unlikely to be described in these terms

 But my description does fit an ideal format for an iconic logo, which is
 meant to do 2 things:
 1) serve as an indicator of necessary browser functionality;
 2) help establish a brand identity for SVG.

 I'm sorry that this logo contest does not serve your agenda.  May I
 suggest that you consider running a contest of your own, which
 emphasizes the qualities in SVG art that you are looking for?

   since this is intended for print and rasterization as well as SVG-
 
  format viewing, the logo will not have sound
 
  providing sound has nothing to do with whether the logo will be
  printed, obviously there is no expectation that the printed logo will
  sound. afaik providing sound for SVG1.2 has no known downside for
  other technologies.

 Most people would find an audio component annoying, and would not use it
 on their site.  If you want to submit a suitable sound clip, however, I
 will consider adding it to logo site as an optional addition.

   nor will there be interactivity nor focus
 
  Why not? if the logo is used as a link it should provide visual
  feedback when in focus, or at least the place it is embedded in
  should. This was the purpose of hover and border in html.

 It's extremely annoying that you clipped off the part of my reply that
 deals directly with your concern, then accused me of not addressing it:
 (or rather, the default initial focus will be on the root).  I invite
 you to read the SVGT1.2 spec and disabuse yourself of the notion that
 there is no indicator of focus. [1]

   The best way to achieve accessibility for a logo such as this is
 
  to have a text fallback,
  sorry this is just plain wrong, text is but one approach, which
  happens to suit a vocal and able minority.

 This is too vague to supply any criteria for accessibility, beyond your
 vocal complaints.

  text is also an accessibility bonus. not as a fallback, but as a
  visible label. Very few people have access to a screen reader, let
  alone one that works with any sort of SVG, they tend to be very
  expensive.

 There will be a visible text component as well, which you would know if
 you read the svglogo.com Web site.  However, because Firefox does not
 yet implement SVG Fonts, some of the letters may just be graphics...
 and that is what the text fallback is for.

 you may or may not know that together with Lisa Seeman a formal

 It is disingenuous in the extreme to suggest that I should work

 The reason I left WAI was their absolute obsession with HTML,  and
 their disinterest in other technologies
 (I wrote the original accessible client-side scripting guidelines but
 js isn't a w3 technology - yawn)


Sorry, I did not know you had already closed that avenue. I'm not aware of 
every group's coming and going. WAI is a member-controlled group, and the 
technologies it addresses represent the interests of contributors. Maybe 
their disinterest in your point is telling about the usefulness of SVG in the 
web context beyond the image space, or about the relative difficulty of 
addressing the problem. 

 The protocols and format working group supposedly would contribute to
 SVG accessibility understanding and documentation.
 however they have nothing to show. I had offered to join,  and this
 is still awaiting approval many years later...


Maybe you should join the w3c and force your way into it. That seems to be the 
traditional way to get a special interest in the w3c.

 I thus chose to work directly with UA developers and other w3 working
 groups such as SVG, RDF etc...

 By all means contact WAI and seek direction, but don't think that
 suggesting that I should, excuses the SVG WG from taking such action
 themselves. It is not sufficient to rely on the text of individual
 specs which are deficient in themselves.


Well, actually, I find that the accesibility question is out of scope in svg 
beyond allowing hooks into whatever accesibility the players offer. Until 
this is addressed, I am not very concerned. As well, I am not really seeing 
svg as a mainstream replacement for html.

Generally, the mood in the web is drifting towards microformats and 
simplification rather than Yet Another Huge W3C Specification. 

Given your interest, Maybe you can come up with an accesibility solution that 
is fun and palatable... 

Beyond that, you have to start somewhere, and that descriptions and metadata 
seems to be as  good a place as any to me. 

 Doug for instance chooses which parts of 1.2 will be acceptable.

Well that's perfect, no? Let him make his choice, and then we go from there.

 What research says Most people would find an audio component

The research that says that audio components are huge and will double or 
triple the size of the original work. Furthermore, we all know that audio is 
language specific, so is useless unless you happen to speak the language (or 
worse, you carry every language...). 

 Audio is clearly a very successful function of flash. evidently
 macromedia don't concur, and it seems neither do adobe.


Audio is relevant in certain aspects, true. However, it is not a required 
functionality everywhere. An SVG icon is NOT an application.

 If true why is there no requirement for a UA option to turn it off?
 Mozilla appear to be using this as a rationale for not implementing what


There is a requirement to turn off sound in every computer. it's the volume 
control. The reason this requirement is not in the UA is that it is out of 
scope.

I fail to understand why you are pushing for the most obtuse possible soution 
to accesibility, rather than to offer a universal solution: bind to the 
accesibility capabilities of the players. My browser konqueror, for example, 
provides numerous accesibility capabilites at the player level, removing any 
need for this capability at the content level. It automatically discerns 
every ui-capable component and generates a text key shortcut on it on demand.

There, I see something useful, unlike a requirement for an aural cue, a 
smellogram, or a mood generator.

Re: [svg-developers] rect with text incide

2006-08-30 Thread Ronan Oger
Hi,

Just adding to Dave's answer:

Starting with SVG1.1 and implmented fully in SVG1.2, there is the concept of 
textboxes. However, SVG1.0 does not support this.

Here is the SVG1.2 TR section addressing text flow:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20041027/flow.html

There are a myriad of examples on the internet of the textbox problem.

Gerally there are two approaches to the problem:
1) Render serverside and adjust font to fit space, then publish to the client. 
This requires a canvas-aware serverside processor such as Batik
2) Send to the client with javascript like David does. This requires 
script-aware browsers and requires clientside resources.

Googling:

 Use JavaScript rather than vanilla SVG. I don't think it can be done
 without scripting (though I'd love to find I'm wrong).

 1. Render the text, but somewhere off-screen text x=-1000 id=Q... or
 something
 2. find the size of its bounding box:
 SVGDocument.getElementById(Q).getBBox
 (Take a peek at
 http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/newstuff/text2.svg where this is
 done, though with a bit of extra nonsense which you will have to ignore

 3. Adjust either the font-size or the size of the rect to make them both
 happy.

than into drawing space, and the scaling is in screen coord rather than in 
drawing coordinates. 

Maybe there is an option in the converter to keep the drawings in engineering 
units...?

Of course, if you do find a solution, the problem then will be that the origin 
will be in the wrong place since DXF places the origin in a different place 
than SVG does.

 Sounds like the converter is doing a bad job. Which ones did you test?

Re: [svg-developers] Re: sudden JS errors (???)

2006-08-11 Thread Ronan Oger
Samuel,

Although you are correct  and it is ASV which handles the SVG in IE, JScript 
is run from IE. 

With ASV, unless specifying to use ASV's JScript engine, IE's JScript engine 
is used.

This means that an IE upgrade in their JScript functionality can affect ASV.

   However, to get you started, there are several alternatives you could
   explore. The simplest would be the HTTP::Daemon module which sets up a
  very small webserver with only a small amount of code. If you are
  planning on having any real traffic at all (more than one user, etc.) you
  might consider using mod_perl or CGI scripts on top of Apache.

Re: [svg-developers] Re: Omission in the SVG specification ?

2006-05-28 Thread Ronan Oger
Pardon me for butting in, but have you tried to render serverside using Batik, 
gtk2, or librsvg? 

Admittedly, text bounding boxes are a thorny problem with serverside 
generation. My own Perl SVG library totally ignores the canvas and leaves it 
to the implementer to use their own canvas-model-providing solution 
serverside.

Batik has a canvas model, and therefore I believe that it can return bounding 
box information within the application being used to build the content 
serverside. Hence, you should be able to render the image serverside as 
needed to determine the image bounding box, and then work with this. 
Presumably, any library with an internal canvas model should do the trick

SVG is xml, which is clear text. You can therefore create SVG in any text 
generator, whether or not it has a concept of text geometry. It is not up to 
the SVG recommendation to tell vi, notepad, or kedit (or any other editor you 
choose) what it should do with the XML text you generate. The same thing goes 
for serverside SVG generators. After all, this is exactly the same problem as 
with server-side html generation.

Also, have you considered using svg1.1 or svg1.2? Both support textboxes to an 
extent, and may solve some of your problem.

Best of luck.

 Hi,

 Well, I do understand that not everyones taste can be catered for in a
 specification and I do realize that you can ask for the bbox in a DOM
 script (in the viewers that support this). But for basic entities like
 text, which I think most people can agree on is needed most of the time
 even in images this omission makes life so much more difficult.

 For complex graphs with multiple texts this omission of bbox as a
 declarative entity would force the backend to generate some
 self-modifying script.

 Basically with the kind of layout needs that I have it could easily require
 every coordinate in the scene to be dependent on one or more bbox for
 various text strings in order to properly line things up.

 What I need to do apparently is to spend a few days and see how a typical
 scene can be modified with some additional DOM scripting that will have to
 modify potentially every other coordinate in the scene depending on the
 actual text strings.

 Since I'm not that used to SVG (yet) my initial impression is that this
 will get quite messy but I might be able to find some clean way of
 structure such code.

 The biggest probably will most likely be that the library (for which I'm
 writing the SVG backend) makes assumption that the bbox is available when
 the code is generated on the fly. Changing the layout engine into working
 in harmony with this back-patching of bbox:es will most likely be the
 biggest challenge.

 Thanks for all Your comments

Re: [svg-developers] (unknown)

2006-04-25 Thread Ronan Oger
maybe ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As far as I am aware there are no svg-enabled players today on mobile devices 
that support svg applications. There are some primitive static svg 
implementations, but I have never seen an svg application that works on a 
mobile phone. 

Several mobile svg viewer vendors have told me that the latest versions of 
their softwares have an svg player that can handle ajax functionality 
however, from my limited perspective as an svg application developer, I can 
only say that so far this is vapour ware to me.

Maybe someone on this group can show an svg application that they have used on 
a mobile device?

also, beware of the mobile marketing term 'supports svg'. Generally 
speaking,mobile technology vendors operate in a closed ecosystem which 
shields them from the hard fact-checking that one gets with web technologies. 
When mobile devices claim to support svg, they generally mean today that the 
device can recieve an mms message with an embedded svg picture and render it. 

This is still very, very far from the internet's concept of supporting a 
technology.

So where does this leave you, a developer who wants to develop svg 
applications for a mobile device?

If you are satisfied with using svg like web pages without javascript or ajax, 
then you can build svg applications for mobiles with smil and no state 
keeping. For this, you simply need to identify mobile devices which support 
svgt1.0 or svgt1.1 content over http.

If you want to use svg as gui layer for interactive devices with state using 
ajax behaviour, then you need to find out which devices (will) support this 
and then you need to develop your application like any other ajax application 
as long as you conform with svg's xml paradigm (there's that word again...).

Good luck.

I agree wholeheartedly with the cost component. Mobile operators appear to me 
to be completely disconnected from reality when it comes to value. Sadly, the 
only other alternative is wlan, and the wlan user community has been fooled 
into implementing nearly-useless wep encryption which provides no real 
security but effectively stops 'nice' people from accessing other peoples' 
wireless hubs.

So until wlan is available ubiquitously at a low-cost, low-hassle level, 
mobile operators will continue to think that their gprs umts service is 
something worth paying a lot of money for.

 Until OLEDs make it possible 
 to design an easily carried phone with a large-enough roll-out display, I
 doubt that web applications will be much good on phones. You can't do
 enough with 200x200 pixels to be worth the bother for anything other than
 very specialized apps.


I don't think you need a rolled up screen, even if that would be Most 
Interesting. Clearly, as you brought up, a 200 x 200 pixels is good enough 
for a basic phone but not good enough for any major application gui.

On my last phone upgrade, I went from a tiny Sony-Erickson 600 with a 1.5 x 
1.5  inch 200x200 screen to a nokia 9300 communicator with a keyboard and a 
640x200 screen. What a usability difference!! Suddenly, I have a kneecapped 
yet fairly useful access to the web, and suddenly my phone is useful for 
non-phone things.

What strikes me with this phone, though, is that the only built-in 
applications I use are telephony, sms, alarm clock, and phone book.

And like was brought up elsewhere in this thread, I really do wish that Nokia 
had given me the ability to download my own browser, mail client, and 
calendar tool. Sadly, the mobile operators and hardware people are a closed 
community and have no impetus to open access to their devices.

I am waiting for the day I can use a skype-enbled palmtop PC with a 
mobile-network-enabled backup for the cases where I need connectivity and am 
not in a major city. I *so much* prefer an ultraportable pc that also does 
network calls than a  ultrathick phone that also does internet. Even if they 
are the same size, I prefer the PC approach to architecture and openness over 
the generic phone approach to closed systems.



 Apps that don't work on phones are going to survive just fine for quite
 some time, perhaps forever. I don't know if I want my phone to get so dang
 complex, either.



Phones do not need to be complex.

They need to have an OS onto which you can install the applications you need 
and desire, and they have to support the browsing you want to do on the net.

After all, what is a mobile phone today other than an overextended wifi card 
with a touch pad?

 Adobe is pushing Flex2 hard now and is working hard to get flash onto the

 For XAML, it will be interesting to see if MS ever manages to grow it

This should be fairly easy. Just send the SVG snapshot up to

 the

  server,
 
rasterize it (I'd use Batik), and use a base64 encoder to
 
  convert the
 
   raster
  
(there are lots of free command-line tools to do this), then
 
  send that
 
   out
  
in your email body.
  
  If you use Batik to do the rasterization, it already has a
   Base64OutputStream
   which if given to the PNGTranscoder will 'on the fly' convert

 the

  binary
 
   PNG
   stream into a Base64 stream suitable for inclusion in the e-mail.
  
  Good luck!
  
In my experiments, I took a very verbose SVG file (one with

 lots

  of
 
   shapes,
  
groups, and gradients: 37KB), and saved it as a PNG and a GIF
 
  (both
 
490x425), then base64-encoded it. The encoded PNG was slightly
 
  smaller
 
   than
  
the SVG (28KB), and the encoded GIF was almost double the SVG
 
  (60KB).
 
   The
  
base64 versions were about 40% larger than their raster
 
  equivalents.
 
  Also PNG does real transparency and can go to 24/32bit not

 just

   pallette.

[svg-developers] RIAs techno winners - was Re: SVG dying?

2006-04-20 Thread Ronan Oger
I have a suspicion that mobile-web compatibility will drive technological 
survival of RIA technology.

Apparently, 1/4 of mobile phone users now use the web with their device. 

This implies that content which does not work on mobile devices in a year or 
two it will not remain relevant very long. 

Sadly, the desktop people don't know how to deal with mobile devices, and the 
mobile market is either unaware or terrified of the potential of the static 
web capabilities.

Adobe is pushing Flex2 hard now and is working hard to get flash onto the 
mobiles. One thing is for sure, Adobe know what they are doing in the RIA 
world. After all, isn't it them who added RIA functionality to SVG?

For XAML, it will be interesting to see if MS ever manages to grow it outside 
of the specialised win32/BigDesktop context that it has painted it into. 
Given the growing impact of mobile devices on the internet landscape (), and 
since I suspect that XAML will not be on mobiles for years, I propose that 
the winner of the RIA contest will be the technology that works on mobiles.

SVGT1.2 shows huge promise on the mobile context, but is unsupported in IE and 
unless IE suddenly grows its own SVG wings, it will increasingly act as a 
lowest-common-denominator brake on internet SVG  content for RIAs.

I wish I could say that SVG-based RIAs are supported on mobile devices, but I 
can not really say. Representatives of the mobile viewer vendors have told me 
that their content supports Ajax-esque or getURL/postURL/parseXML/DOM-insert 
functionality in SVG, but nobody seem able/interested to either prove this or  
to show content that they even claim works on some device. I have been 
building RIA proofs of concept since 2002 and have never seen a mobile 
capable of round-tripping data in SVG.

If the mobile svg platform people get their act together and recognise how 
close they are to winning (or losing) their technological battle, then my 
vote is on SVG due to its standards compliance. However, if Bitflash and 
Ikivo they allow Adobe to steamroll over them and fail to educate the svg 
content people and fail to deliver the technical solution that meets RIA 
needs on mobiles, then I believe that the RIA technowinner will be 
Flash/Flex/whatever-its-called.

 It's just an idea I've had floating around since I started noticing
 the pieces that you'd need to compete against MS with open source (or
 just non-MS) tools.

 SVG is not the entirety of that suite, but it's one important part.

Re: [svg-developers] Re: SVG dying?

2006-04-20 Thread Ronan Oger
Jeff,

You have a point that with rss, I can be more passive. But rss still forces me 
to go online to the web content, and for raw text reading, it is just not 
efficient and not possible for me.

I think that I am not alone in using off-net down time to process mailing list 
correspondence. I do all of my correspondence during the 2-1/2 hours of train 
journey per day (I do 280km round trip per day on trains) that I take between 
client sites and home, and imply don't have 2 hours to blow during the 
evening or main workday to go online and read the twenty interesting lists I 
contribute to. 

I find the mailing list to be the most streamlined vehicle, with the least 
amount of dead time.

But that's just me. If others prefer web interfaces, that's fine. I abhor them 
and their off-topic eyecandy when not needed. I only want the information, 
and nothing else. Hell, I'd even pay to keep a mailing list service ad free.

Depending on where you are you might find that openstreetmap.org has
some mapping data for where you live.  There is an SVG renderer for
OSM if that is what you ultimately need.

If there is no data for your area you could always upload some GPS
tracks and create whatever you need.  OSM is licensed under CC-BY-CA
so you can use it commercially providing you give attribution and
share any derivative works.

 Hi Ronan,

 Even I think SVG would limit my scope..but I nned to build teh white

 1. How do I display applications written in c++/java script in the
 browser(like inskye or batik similar of adobe SVG )


You appear to confuse SVG and Adobe. The Adobe SVG viewer is one way to 
display SVG on the browser. It is also the most common way and works with 
most browsers. Some browsers such as recent versions of Konqueror, Opera, 
Firefox and Mozilla support SVG directly, and do not require a plugin. There 
are also SVG viewers such as Batik Squiggle which are applications for 
viewing SVG. As well, you can build your own Batik application in Java, or 
you could even build a Batik SVG viewer applet. Finally, many mobile devices 
support SVG via the Ikivo or the Bitflash SVG viewers. 

Because there are many ways to view SVG on a device, I can not really 
specifically answer your SVG device question.

 2. Are there some other applications or pluggins which I can
 integrate with ruby on rails and implement this shared white board in
 my application


You appear to misunderstand the role of the SVG viewer in the application 
architecture. You do not integrate the SVG browser into your serverside 
system. SVG is analogous to HTML, and you simply build a system that displays 
SVG and send that displayed SVG to the requesting SVG-enabled browser via 
HTTP requests, exactly the same way that it is done in html. There is nothing 
more to it.

So in short, you do the following:

1/ decide whether or not you wish to use SVG as the GUI layer for your 
application, or as part of the GUI layer.
2/ decide what user platforms you wish to support
3/ find out what SVG subset is and what is not supported by these platforms
4/ build your architecture accordingly
5/ deploy and test...

The same as with html. Some SVG implementations support most of SVG-1.2, some 
support part of SVG-1.0, some support javascript, some support smil. You need 
to be aware of what you want to do, and you need to research how you will do 
it. 

Broadly speaking, anything that can generate arbitrary XML can generate SVG. 
However, anything that assumes HTML (such as most implementations of Ajax 
solutions) do not work so well. I have not worked with ruby on rails, but 
unless it can generate arbitrary xml, you will probably have trouble with it.

Re: [svg-developers] ListBox

2006-02-06 Thread Ronan Oger
os_vlan, welcome to SVG and best of luck.

I think spark and cgui support list boxes.

http://spark.sourceforge.net
http://homepage.usask.ca/~ctl271/cgui/

However, beware: I do not think they are Firefox-compliant. Maybe ask the 
authors about their plans if you intend to display on other systems than the 
Adobe SVG Viewer plugin.

Re: [svg-developers] embedding SVG Draw in my application

2006-02-03 Thread Ronan Oger
SVG Draw is a demonstration application, not a tool per se. You can copy the 
files and then modify the application to support your needs.

Given the fact that Adobe have not released a new version of their SVG Viewer 
plugin (ASV) other than minor patches for several years, you may also want to 
make sure you do not corner yourself into using functionality that only works 
in ASV. The Adobe examples may contain old javascript that only works in ASV:

All the best,

Ronan

Interesting, and good to hear that IE7 is reasonable performant. What was the 
SVG-viewer you were using, and what was the hardware performance? Were you 
using ASV3 as a plugin?

 Pierre.


I believe so. I asked this question last month to this list, and got a 
positive answer. Anyways, one thing is certain: what Google Maps does with 
VML and transparent images on top of a tiled set of raster images,people 
routinely do with SVG in the webmapping context. Check carto.net for numerous 
examples of this...

Anyways, here is a trivial example of dynamic overlays over maps (clunky and 
rough, but I hope you get the point that this already can be done... All the 
data points are delivered real-time from an external server.

http://www.roitsystems.com/SVG-Widgets/navigation/ShipAutomation.svg

It's kind of clunky, and the underlying image is statically located, but that 
is simply because I spent 3 days on this demo...

And it works on any implementation that supports script access to the DOM or 
to the uDOM, and xmlhttprequest or GetURL.

The key point I am attempting to make is that the community would be better 
served by interested developers supporting and extending existing SVG 
implementations rather than by going out on and starting Yet Another 
Implementation...

Ask any SVG browser developer, and you will get the same answer: it's not that 
simple. The trivial stuff like static SVG is fine, but that's not enough, and 
is not SVG1.2 or SVGT1.2 compliant, so static implementations are really of 
no interest to anyone. And anyways, there are too many static SVG 
implementations to list.

It took Mozilla 3 years toget to where they are today, and anyone who thinks 
they can do better from scratch is kidding themeselves. There are plenty of 
existing solutions out there... let's help the developers working on those 
implementations rather than making their task even harder by competing 
against them. 

Finally, if you want a feature you can't find in your favorite opensource SVG 
implementation, why not request a feature and get some people together to 
fund the work? A little financial sponsorship goes a long way in open 
source...

Re: [svg-developers] Plugin opensource

2006-01-31 Thread Ronan Oger
Hi Phi,

Your idea of a web-enabled SVg renderer is great and I support the concept if 
y. Is that an SVG-1.2-full renderer? I am interested to see how you will 
support things like SMIL events and xmlhttprequest-driven serverside-driven 
updates. If you manage this, I will be very happy. Even if you only support 
SVGT, that would already be excellent.

However, I have some issues with your point of view:

1. Why do you say adobe has abandoned SVG?  Have Adobe pulled ASV and 
forbidden you from using it? As far as I an tell, this has not happened. 
Adobe may have decided to stop developing ASV as a product, but so what? 
That's their own loss. There are other SVG viewer implementations out there, 
and at least one on the very near horizon.

2. There is already an SVG viewer solution for every platform: Batik. And for 
each major platform, there is at least one SVG implementation. If you mean 
cross-browser SVG support, I do not think you can expect much joy. After all, 
it is a bit much to ask modern developers to continue to support IE6 forever. 
After all, IE6 is really starting to show its age and is totally out of date. 
Microsoft can refuse to update their browser, but they do so at their own 
risk. And while rumours of a pending IE7 abound, I'm not holding my breath 
for this to be usable on current hardware. I'll be pleasantly surprised to 
hear of IE7 running on WindowsXP on a 2004-2006 PC or laptop.
 
3. There is a lot more to SVG than rendering the pixels. time management, 
transparency management, and event handling are fairly complex things that 
will be difficult to mimick in dhtml and javascript alone. Of course, you 
*could* generate pixel maps of an SVG drawing, but doing so is pointless. 
Exactly what SVG is good at, pixel maps suck at... distinct object context  
handling.

4. Does your cross.browser free SVG editor work on Konqueror? Can you show a 
link? Is it better than Batik-based SVG editors?

5. I do not understand why people starved for an SVG plugin to IE6 do not 
simply compile a Batik applet to handle their SVG. Shouldnt that work?
Sure, it would be fat... But it would work. and bandwidth is pretty good these 
days. For web2.0 apps, this solution should suffice.

6. I am not sure what you mean by dealing with black boxes. The source code 
for every SVG implementation in the wild except ASV and CSV is freely 
available. All you need to do is read it.

Right. This certainly has a place for static content.

 what browser it is IE 4-5-6-7?? FF 1 -1.2 -1.5 Opera ? AOL ? NS ??


I dont know what you mean by webserver population. You can process SVG with 
batik on 100% of webservers (well, win32, unix, linux, mac... at least).
Is that what you mean? XML-raster on the server, then send it to the client?

 5- Timing? It slower because it is interpreted Vs compiled. Depend on how
 much how big one change it may or may not fit for GAME/animation purpose.
 But it may fit on other purpose such as map dynamic image generator such as
 a web-base image drawing.


Right. Could be good, especially for clients that cant support static SVG. Are 
many of these? Have you come accross DENG, the svg viewer written in flash? 
Also, why not use flash to generate SVG drawings (blasphemy, but fairly easy, 
I would guess).

 6- We are not just starting it. but it has been worked for long.

Interesting. Any way to take a look at it? Do you have an online version that

Re: [svg-developers] GPS Input / Measuring Device

2006-01-27 Thread Ronan Oger


On Monday 23 January 2006 09:05, Petronel Laviniu MALUTAN - Talente.ro wrote:
 Does anyone know / has a GPS device which can be easily attached to a
 laptop in order to be able to measure / input coordinates of the roads with
 PHP ? The Php programm or C++ one I will write it by myself (hopefully) if
 they are giving some small instructions.

 Thank you
 * Petronel *

Petronel,

There are dozens of solutions to this. However, none of them are *trivial*.

I did this last year for a toy demo of google maps that I wrote that showed 
you where you are on google maps using your GPS.
Generally, here is what I did:

1/ used a GPS that generates NMEA 0183 data output to a serial port connected 
to a PC
2/ (I used Perl) wrote a program that reads from that serial port and parses 
the NMEA strings for lat/lon data.
3/ wrote a webservice that publishes lat/lon position in XML on http requests 
from a browser client.
4/ wrote a web page that:
4.1/ queries the URL in (3) above and parses the lat/lon data using ecmascript 
on a timer or event
4.2/ centers google maps on the x/y position provided by 4.1

Presto.

Key points: the script retrieving the gps data lives on the PC where the gps 
is. ecmascript security prevents you from accessing local files and remote 
files at the same time. If you want to go to a remote URL and ask it to show 
you where your GPS says you are, you need to make the GPS-reading script post 
your position to a remote host. This is fairly easy to do with a daemon if 
you understand how the internet works. Or you can pay someone to do it for 
you if you dont understand the net.

Best of luck,

Ronan

JScript and Javascript have a lot in common, but they also sadly have many

their confusion.

BTW, are you aware that you can not access the SVG from the html, or vice

Re: [svg-developers] hw to embed javascript in svg

2006-01-07 Thread Ronan Oger
Here are two resources to use for this...

http://www.google.ch/search?q=embed+javascript+into+svg

or 

http://www.svg-whiz.com/wiki/index.php?search=scriptgo=Go

And here is how you do this.

Generally, you embed an external file:

script xlink:href=http://sourcepath/script.js;

or you inline the script using a CDATA element in a script element
script 
![CDATA[ var myJSCode = 1;]]
/script

or 

script ![CDATA[ function matchwo(a,b) 
{ if (a  b  a  0) then { return 1 }
else { return 0 }
} 
]] /script

Re: [svg-developers] Re: Firefox 1.5 with SVG now officially released

2005-12-19 Thread Ronan Oger
Jonathan, 

 1.1 Ensure that the user can operate, through keyboard input alone,
 any user agent functionality available through the user interface.

This capability already exists in all serious OS's, and adding this 
functionality on Yet Another Layer will only create confusion where none is 
required.

When we talk about keyboard events, we are talking about the 
svg-document-level undersranding of the context of a keypress (such as the 
letter 'p' in the text-entry context).  And I agree that SVG implementations 
need to address this. However, I also believe that this is best handled 
through scripting (ie programatically) rather than declaratively.

The idea of using key events to trigger mouse pointer events does not need to 
be part of this discussion because this is already handled at the OS level 
and because it is generally desirable to have consistent behaviour accross 
the entire window manager (MS Windows in your case, I presume). 

Adding this to the SVG app level will add nothing to usability and will serve 
only to make the SVG app architect's job more difficult.

In Linux, for example, mouse and keyboard events can be linked arbitrarily and 
interchanged at will. Because of this, it is critical that an app developer 
not be able to arbitrarily impose their own mappings which may render the UI 
inoperable.

It is simply not the job of SVG to know what the input methods are. This is an 
OS-level or user-inter-face-level problem. If we allow the SVG canvas to have 
different fundamental behaviour than the OS does, then we will cause a rat's 
nest of complications.

I don't know how windows handles this, but in linux systems, if you want to 
use your keyboard(s) to define mouse events, it is a trivial problem.

Presumably, windows XP is a reasonably well written application. Can it not 
handle arbitrary pointing device setups, including keyboard mappings...?

Do we build improved systems that inevitably exclude some users? 
Do we legislate functionality into applications? If so, do we do it accross 
the board? If yes, why are we applying different standards to web apps than 
we apply to the physical press, public transportation, and vocal

2005-12-17 Thread Ronan Oger
Francis,

Before going too far out on a limb and running off your mouth about what the 
W3C should or should not do, you might want to read up on what the W3C is.

The W3C is not a public organization set up for the general good of society. 
Far from it.  It is a membership-based club for promoting technologies that 
benefit the club participants. Within the W3C, competing groups fight to get 
their ideas in and to keep competing ideas out.

Instead of ranting into the wind about open-source development and complaining 
about the free work others should do to help you earn money (ASV is free, and 
you seem to be benefiting commercially from this, no?), maybe you should 
consider one or more of the following options:

1) stop complaining, and work with the free tools provided to you find them, 
taking responsibility for your own strategic errors in technological 
dependency choices

2) join the W3C and try to change the future of SVG to your advantage

3) pay someone to build you an SVG browser that *you* can offer free to the 
public domain. I'm sure you can get this done for 1/2 million Euro or less.

4) move on to another technology. Maybe start using Java applets, Flash, pdf, 
or bitmap animations to show your data. Hey, you could even simply send it by 
fax and forego both the W3C *and* ICANN.

Cheers,

Ronan

SVG only supports mouse events. What the browsers chose to do through their

Re: [svg-developers] Re: Firefox 1.5 with SVG now officially released

2005-12-17 Thread Ronan Oger
Robin,

Thanks. I stand corrected. SVG-1.1 supports keyboard events
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-SVG11-20030114/interact.html#document-events-att-mod

However...

(referring to the above URL)

As in  DOM2 Key events, the SVG specification does not provide a key event 
set. An event set designed for use with keyboard input devices will be 
included in a later version of the DOM and SVG specifications.

In SVG-1.1, SVG knows that certain keypress events were done, but only in a 
context mimicking pointer events. As I said, the currently published SVG 
specification does not support non-pointer events. Such things are added 
within the browser implementation by the developers rather than as part of 
the specification compliance matrix.

   Subject: RE: [svg-developers] Why is being in XML better?
   (was Re: Adobe/Macromedia)
  
We like xml  because it is The Great Panacea. What else do we need?
    
  
     I agree that XML is a wonderful thing...I spend lots of
   time in XML myself (and have for almost 10 years now).
  
     I do not, however, consider it the great panacea. 
   There are many things for which it is NOT a good solution. 
  
   For example:
   * It doesn't make a good RASTER IMAGE data format. (could you
   see a grammar with a value per pixel? ;)
   * It doesn't make a good packaging solution.  (which is why
   ZIP is used in
   conjunction)
  
XML is kind of handy because of all the work that has been put into
working out the APIs to work with it.
Every language handles XML, and XML of some type is now the
lingua-franqua for data transfer.
  
     I agree that the APIs are wonderful and access from any
   language is great - but I can also use a screwdriver for a
   numerous purposes that it wasn't originally intended.
  
     My point is simple - use XML for what it was intended
   to be...human (and computer) readable structured data.  Don't
   try to shoe horn everything into XML - it's not going to fit :(.

yes, but their parsing is universally accepted. If you use a compliant XML 
generator, another compliant XML parser will work with it. This says nothing 
about the business layer being able to work with your data, but at least 
you've taken the problem back up to the business layer from the transport 
layer.

     .pdf .shp .swf .dxf are published formats but hard to read/process

    For whom?  Using what tools?



that's exactly the point. There are a limited toolsets in a limited number of 
languages that handle the above.

But with xml, there are a huge number of APIs in every major language. So we 
no longer need to worry about the markup itself, and only need to worry about 
the interpretation of the markup.

Remember the bad old days of csv? When a csv file from a germanic country 
failed to parse in a program in an anglo country because the anglos separate 
with a comma and the germanics separate with semicolon? Every time you needed 
to pass  csv between 2 applications, you had to worry about whether the 
programmers had packaged the data intelligently, and in a world-aware way. 
With XML, the standard handles this elegantly. 

This alone makes the poison of XML's verbosity and markup that much more 
palatable.

Hmm.

This looks to me like code for we want to stay relevant in the SVG Mobile 
market, but think that SVG-Full on the browser is a dead end.

I can't say I'm surprized at all. SVG-Full has proven to be a killer to 
implement, and the overhead in transport and processing has been discussed 
regularly on this group as a point agains SVG-Full in the web context.

I can't say I would be sad to see SVG-Full be replaced with SVGt+script.

 particularly in the fast-growing mobile market, we recognize that
 both SVG and Flash have had success globally. As a result, Adobe will

Re: [svg-developers] Streaming svg

2005-12-06 Thread Ronan Oger
Hi Juancho,

SVG does not actually support streaming, but it does support script-based 
insertion of data...

What you might be able to do is buffer 5 seconds of animation as SMIL 
animation as snippets serverside, and send this using scripting and http 
methods to the browser using Adobe and Batik's getURL or the equivalent http 
request in ecmascript for FF.

Stick the content in groups and make the groups invisible / visible / 
invisible on a timer sequence, and then delete the groups when they become 
irrelevant.

Then, what you effectively get, is 5-second keys that you get 1-2 seconds to 
upload. This should be plenty of time to do your streaming animation.

The only real problem with this is making sure that your frames are keyed well 
and that your transfer time is less than your display length.

Re: [svg-developers] Re: Firefox 1.5 with SVG now officially released

2005-12-04 Thread Ronan Oger
Every browser implementation has serious shortcomings. This is something that 
all the companies that generate content on the internet (svg, html, or 
streaming media)
As a matter of fact, ASV is the only browser solution to support SVG (full), 
SMIL, and scripting together without help. All the other browser solutions 
have fallen short.

Whereas I commiserate with Domenico that there are not enough implementations 
out there that are sufficiently compliant, there is nothing special about 
this condition, nor there any reason to expect this situation wil dissapear 
any time soon.

We had the same problem in sgml in the 90s, and we have always had this 
problem with new technologies. I fully expect that Ajax will cause new 
frameworks to be developped, and that widget libraries will be built around 
particular Ajax flavours. I am fairly pessimistic about the prospects for 
inter-connectivity between Ajax-ish back-ends and front-ends from different 
supplies. We have not hit this level of sophistication in the SVG industry 
yet, but I am sure it is coming soon enough.

We need to build our systems around the tools we have, and we have to keep in 
mind the risk of building complex applications or websites around a cocktail 
of technologies  which is only available from a single vendor.  This is of 
course the opposite of reacting to commercial pressure to be unique and to 
stretch the limits of the technology...

Today, the risk-adverse SVG developer will identify the lowest common 
denominator and build the SVG content accordingly, keeping in mind bandwidth, 
processing cost, and platform support. Alternatively, the developer will 
provide an elegant downgrading solution for their content, or will allow the 
user to select the content to match the workstation capabilities.

Building a commercial livelihood around the capabilities of a single 
commercial solution like ASV is a very dangerous strategy. Every one of us in 
the tool and content development spheres has felt the consequences of being 
subject to a single vendor at least once.  This has been a hard lesson for 
many SVG content developers and I personally have seen several contracts be 
lost as a direct result of relying on a single vendor for a critical 
component of SVG visualization toolchain.  For that very reason, it is 
critical for companies who operate in the SVG sphere to champion efforts of 
groups like Opera, Mozilla, and KDE (and Adobe if they ever move forward in 
SVG again).

Since the content developers rely on the tool developers for browser and tool 
creation, maybe the commercial interests in the SVG community who are 
directly dependant on the SVG tool makers would be well served by 
contributing to the free software built by the tool makers that the content 
creators rely on to earn a living. Tool makers need resources to proceed with 
their work, and the most logical source of these resources (time, labour, or 
funds to pay for them) is the content and application developers.

I strongly believe that if a commercial player regrets that Firefox is missing 
a particula capability, then the commercial player should pay for this 
support.

The great thing about open-source software is that if you don't like it, you 
can contribute to it to change it.

 Hi, Domenico-

  While you know I respect you, your work, and your opinions, I have to say
  that I must respectfully disagree with you here.

  Do things render quickly and perfectly in FF? Is FF feature-complete as
  regards SVG graphical elements or DOM methods? Is there support for 2 of
 my favorite features, SMIL and SVG Fonts? Sadly, no. However, does it help
 spread SVG? Emphatically, yes.

  Over the past few months, I've tried to clean up a lot of my content so
 that it renders as well as possible in FF. I've gotten many of my WebApps
 to behave tolerably well (though others are a lost cause). It is far from
 my ideal platform. But a *lot* of content will render just fine.

  Let's face it, just browsing legacy SVG, you are bound to stumble on a lot
  of mistakes that Adobe should never have rendered. In this way, alone, I
 see value in Firefox... it will make authors and authoring tools create
 real, valid XML, which will aid the transition to Compound Documents. This
 is where I think SVG will find a whole new audience, with SVG as just a
 part of a larger mixed-namespace context.

  But let's not talk about technicalities like that, of interest only to
  standards wonks. Let's talk real-world cases.

  There is a whole new generation of SVG authors that neither know nor care
  about SVG scripting or animation. They are using Inkscape to make static
  SVG, which many argue should be the primary use case for a Web-oriented
  vector graphics language

Re: [svg-developers] Please say how is it possible to convert from gif to svg

2005-11-21 Thread Ronan Oger
use a vectorising solution.

Pure:

1/ map the pixels and group by colour
2/ approximate down to N colours, getting rid of noise
3/ draw regions
4/ done.

Trick:

1/ Translate to jpeg or png
2/ embed in an SVG document using an image / tag
3/ deliver. Still pixelated but scalable.

There is also this for conversion:

htp://www.roitsystems.com/cgi-bin/r2v/tracer.pl

Works quite well for clearly defined images, badly for high-noise images.

based on autotrace.

Re: [svg-developers] does SVG have problem with big coordinates assigned to viewbox?

2005-11-19 Thread Ronan Oger
ASV does have some issues (or at least ASV3.0 used to) with floating-point 
roundoff for large numbers.

This is not an SVG problem, but an implementation-specific problem. Some 
viewers use 16-bit numbers, some use 32-bit numbers, and you will have 
problems with this if your number resolution is bigger than what the browser 
can handle.

From the user perspective, the best thing to do is check the impact of large 
numbers and of high resolution numbers.

I could not help but notice that the data being considered has four decimal 
place accuracy, of which three decimal places are zeros. Maybe some 
resolution management would sort out the problem on its own?

Re: [svg-developers] Please help. How can I get width of text element?

2005-11-14 Thread Ronan Oger
Either you calculate or guess  the text width, or you use information provided 
by the browser if it provides this. Batik and ASV provide this information 
through their API. Not sure if FF native ecmascript provides it.

Did you look it up in the SVG Wiki? It might be there.

Re: protecting SVG is pointless - was Re: [svg-developers] Protect SVG - Was Re: Today's Joke: Printing SVG in IE

2005-11-14 Thread Ronan Oger

  I'm wondering if the result of the conversion (svg picture) is not
  important? It still contains some geographic data: rivers, borders,
  roads, ... . As I've read here,
  some GIS companies probably insert a watermark (to the coordinates of
  the river, border and road elements?). That would be very useful in my
  opinion.


The existance of the features does have value, but not the same value as the 
position of the features, or the interconnectivity of the features.

The cost/benefit relationship of leaving the original GIS data unscaled and 
unmolested when rendered into SVG is something that the SVG authors need to 
take into account when deciding what to show, and how to show it.

Of course, it is possible to dump the entire GIS data model at 100% accuracy, 
into an SVG drawing. However, this is where the line is drawn between what is 
possible, and what is a bad idea in business. There is a reason why colour 
photocopier machines do not actually provide 1:1 copying... To prevent 
forgery of paper currency. To prevent 1:1 copying was a business decision by 
the photocopier vendors  prompted by governments.

In fact, I propose to you that if an SVG application were to provide 100% of a 
commercial GIS model with 100% accuracy, the SVG application vendor would 
find themeselves in breach of contract for reselling the data model where 
they only have a license to display it.

 I apologize for such a late response. Actually I was away and could

 I copied the same HTTP header from SVG content sent via Apache into
 the servlet SVG content. However still browser get crashed in K750i
 and K600.

 Servlet URL:  http://62.119.127.226:8080/th/svgt/svgt-servlet
 Apache URL: http://62.119.127.226:8080/line.svg

 There is no difference in content sent via servlet and apache. One
 thought is that may be both K750 and K600 has same version of Ikivo
 player installed and Siemens may have some older version. However I
 am not sure about that.

 I also attached the SVG content alongwith HTTP headers sent via
 apache and servlet.

 I am sorry once again for late response.

Jeroen,

SVG does not have to contain GIS data. GIS data is about geospatial features, 
wheras SVG is about 2-d image rendering.

Normal GIS data is stored in its own format, then transformed to SVG. Because 
of this, the GIS data is degraded when it is rendered as SVG because it has 
been transformed.

Jeroen,

Are you using GIS data or SVG pictures of the GIS model?

SVG is a model of a picture, whereas GIS is a model of geographic data.

A picture of a car is not the same as the engineering drawing of a car. And a 
screenshot of an Autocad drawing does not give away the car CAD drawing. 
There is loss in the conversion process, and the same happens with GIS-SVG

Re: [svg-developers] SVG, SWF Conversion

2005-11-11 Thread Ronan Oger
For open-source toolkits Take a look at: autotrace, imagemagick, pstoedit

For workflows to go between format types, mostly raster-to-svg, but also some 
vector-to-vector, take a look at ROIT Systems's online conversion tool:

Re: [svg-developers] Need help to find out the SVG viewer for HP-UX

Hi,

Bitflash makes an X-windows viewer that works as a standalone binary on any 
X-comlatible system. The last time I saw it, it covered essentially SVGT plus 
some additional tags. Bitflash may be willing to sell copies of it.

Hello Laurent,

The hii message was a spam-with-virus attempt to send junk to the list 
that was caught by yahoogroups and stripped of its dangerous attachment. (The 
message was most likely sent by a mail-sending robot).

There are a lot of attempts on mailing lists to send virus-rich trojan horses, 
and this was one of these messages. You can expect to receive 1-2 per day of 
these messages that make no sense. You simply need to ignore those messages.

All the best, and welcome to SVG-Developers.

[svg-developers] svg-to-wmf?

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a batch tool that would support svg-to-wmf conversion? 
Image::Magick does some, but it is incomplete and too slow.

Re: [svg-developers] Good SVG Drawing-program

2005-11-10 Thread Ronan Oger
Hi Stig,

Some good free drawing tools that work on linux and win32 are:

sodipodi http://www.sodipodi.com
inkscape http://www.inkscape.org

These   two applications are generic vector-drawing tools that support the 
full SVG palette. I have been using inkscape quite a bit lately and have 
found it very useful.

if you require specialized drawing tools, or a purpose-built solution that 
provides you simple drag/drop functionality based on pre-selected SVG icons 
and shapes, Vectoreal (http://www.vectoreal.com) could help you identify a 
commercial solution. Contact me offline if would like further information 
about this.

All the best,

Ronan

Re: [svg-developers] SaveSnapshotAs with ecmascript

 Hello,

  It is possible to call the SaveSnapshotAs method with javascript with

Hi, yes it is possible to do the equivalent to SavceSnapshotAs with scripting:

You can easily do this by grabbing the root SVG element, serializing the tree 
below it, and putting the resulting SVG into a text string.

However, the next step requires that you send it to the server where the 
document came from, since you can not access the local filesystem.

Then, the user retrieves the document form the server you posted the string 
to.

Re: [svg-developers] SVG-friendly Ajax frameworks

2005-11-03 Thread Ronan Oger
I am also doing the same thing: modifying a current ajax framework (Perl's 
very nice CGI::Ajax module) to work with native (or at least stand-alone) SVG 
as well rather than to rely on embedded content. 

I do not recommend building anything new around adobe's getURL functionality 
unless you also provide support for native javascript support. Building your 
application around a plugin that is 3 years out of date is a serious 
strategic mistake considering that there are four alternate sources of 
browsers out there that provide the same functionality natively...

I suggest that you use the native javascript http support instead.

Re: [svg-developers] svg applications

2005-10-31 Thread Ronan Oger

Alwinovicz,

Generally speaking, there is no reason to use SVG where html works better, and 
html works very well at forms and text rendering.

Where svg is  useful is in applications involving contextual information 
delivered visually. This is of course why GIS has been quick to adapt   SVG 
as a presentation layer. 

To find applications using SVG, you have to look for applications that need to 
provide image data.

One of these is bioperl, http://www.bioperl.org/ a genetics analytics 
framework for academics developped in Perl. The graphical output of bioperl 
is SVG.

Also, you will find a number of monitoring systems using SVG for the rendering 
layer.

There are very few SVG apps on the general-use internet because of the lack of 
a common viewing solution. Internet applications require a high penetration 
of the technology on the browser before they use it, and the svg browser 
support is simply not there at this point to justify web apps for the general 
public written in SVG. You will, however,  find SVG applications in intranet 
solutions which need to show meaningful data visually. To find these, you 
generally need to find out what applications support the technology.

For example, Oracle 10g on upwards support SVG output of their data... But 
this is essentially only used in intranets.

Of course, there is also the mobile sphere which is far more interested in SVG 
solutions (but these are not svg applications per se but applications that 
deliver  SVG content).

Ronan
