[svg-developers] SVG editors?

2011-06-06 Thread afuji1024
I'd like to create SVG charts from a database app. However, I know nothing 
about creating SVG, so I'd like to start with an editor, if I can find one. 
This should ideally let me -

1 - place a zoom control in the image
2 - place a pan control in the image
3 - do various things on mouseovers - pop up a data box, highlight chart points
4 - create scatter and time-line charts from my own dataset, with legends, 
axes, and so on.

The idea is that, once I get a basic template from the editor, I can write C 
code to directly generate the SVG.

I've spent hours looking, and I can't find any commercial or free apps that can 
do anything like this. Have I missed something? It seems that SVG editor 
development stopped several years ago, and various editors have been 
discontinued. I can't even find example SVG code that does anything similar to 
this.

In fact, the more I read the more it seems that I need to do this in 
JavaScript, rather than directly creating images. Any thoughts?

Thanks -

Al

I create all my SVG in Perl, using a private module that I add 
functions to as new requirements arise.  The source of most of the 
SVG I see is impossibly verbose and inefficient, like html created by 
some Microsoft programme.  If I were you I'd decide which language to 
work with and do the equivalent of what I do with Perl.

Just an FYI, you can use scour to clean up SVG output by editors...
