Hi, This is still a working project. Nevertheless we are already able to develop custom solutions over it. If you know InputDraw ( http://mainada.net/inputdraw )http://mainada.net/inputdraw this will be part of version 2. If you only need to visualize or input drawings, it will be enough. It has 2

Thats rather exciting actually... flash as a renderer for IE makes rather good sense due to the ubiquity .. though it does lump svg in with all the evils perpetrated via flash. ;-( thats just prejudice. Tiago Cardoso wrote: How about using Flash to view it ?

Why does SVG Tiny not have them? It strikes me as an odd thing to chose to exclude. In many cases arcs are far easier to use, particularly for things like technical diagrams where they may precisely express the intent while a Bezier curve can only approximate. I fully agree with you. This

Let p0, p1, p2, p3 denote the control points of a cubic Bezier curve. p0 and p3 are the start and end point respectively. To get a better idea of the following, you should take paper and pencil and draw a sketch. Connect the control points with lines. Now place three points, q0, q1, q2, halfway

Yes, I see what you're saying -- just go ahead and actually draw the curve from p0 to s and measure it -- then, of course! We will then know how long the curve is, and from that we can figure out just when a SMIL animation will traverse that point as it traverses the parent Bezier curve.

SVG Tiny is targeted at devices with high restrictions in CPU speed and memory size. Just calculating the center point of an elliptical arc requires calculation of a sqare root and trigonometric functions (see http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/implnote.html#ArcConversionEndpointToCenter ), and is
