Hi Shawn, > FWIW QQuickImageProvider is for images: you can see from its API that it > generates QImage or QPixmap or a texture.
I would argue that an SVG IS an image, see e.g. the definition from Wikipedia: " A representation of the form of a person or object[...]" So why should QQuickImageProvider not have a 'requestSvg' function (naturally without size parameter)? > An Image can render an SVG, but then you really > generate a fixed-size image: you can set sourceSize, and then the SVG has to > be re-rendered on the CPU each time. It’s less efficient. I do that currently and cache the pixmaps in their correct size. It's fine for most use cases, but small SVGs become really ugly when rendered with QSvgRenderer. I was hoping for better quality using VectorImage. > > But you are welcome to write up a bug to ask for some way of supplying an > SVG to VectorImage from a memory buffer rather than a file. Done in the meantime, see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-134656 and https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-134666 > > If you are generating the SVG on the fly anyway, maybe it’s better to generate > a QPainterPath rather than serializing to SVG and getting Qt to deserialize it > right away? My use case is this: I take existing (potentially customer-provided) SVGs and modify them on the fly (colorization to match my current color scheme). I know there is a mechanism to convert SVGs to QML files, this may be an alternative to look at, but it is a lot more complex to integrate.
