If I understand Robert Longson's recent reply to a series of
questions I had about styling and measuring s, it is because they
don't have an SVGTransformable interface, that we can't measure them
with getBBox, but have to instead use getExtentOfChar . Why doesn't
have a transformable interface, seems odd to me, since we have to
invent various other and rudimentary methods for dealing with
substrings, but that is a different matter.
Well in this particular example, submitted by a student of mine,
Cyril Pierron,
http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/W3CCourse/CPierrongetBBoxUse.svg
[1], Opera and IE+ASV give very different results than Firefox and
webKit. Basically, he's taken a chunk of text, measured it, reused it
and then measured the reuse. Since SVGUSEELEMENT according to
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/idl.html [2] has a transformable interface,
I'd assume that the original object and a reuse of it should have
identical footprints, but IE+ASV and Opera don't seem to agree. Are
these bugs? My guess is that they are.
cheers
David
