Hi All, Note: If I apply the transform immediately after I create the symbol:
$symbol:=DOM Create XML element($defs;"image";"id";$name;"xlink:href";$image;"x";0;"y";0;"width";$width;"height";$height) SVG_SET_TRANSFORM_SCALE ($symbol;18/$width;18/$height) That seems to work and would be fine if all I needed were uniform sizes in the doc. In this example I am resizing them so they are 18 by 18 pixels. But as indicated previously the end user can set a size property to enlarge or shrink these sizes for the same symbol in different parts of the doc. So I need to resize and reposition where they are actually used. Not sure if this is a clue or… John... > Hi All, > > I’m in the process of changing some SVG routines to be a bit more efficient > (I think). > > Miyako showed me how to embed svg images as “defs”: > > $defs:=SVG_Define_symbol ($domSvg_ptr->;"defs”) > > so I could reuse the graphics without reloading them several times.
