Comment #6 on issue 61 by mttdgf: Investigate SVG support http://code.google.com/p/piccolo2d/issues/detail?id=61
Great work, very impressive, but I'm afraid I must vote against including svg support in Piccolo: 1) Loading SVG is only part of the standard, scripting integration is another big part. If the entire standard isn't implemented it will always be a partial implementation; partially usable and misleading to those looking for an svg component. 2) It appears the implementation is essential a file loader. I recall reading on the piccolo.org site that file loaders/formats where not to be support and users are required to roll their own. I agree with this. There are many graph oriented file formats; GraphML is a popular one. 3) There are already many great svg components out there (for Java, .Net not so much) like Batik. The Batik project has an SVGGraphics2d component that outputs SVG from a normal Java component: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/using/svg-generator.html I would rather see this implemented and let users take their "SVG images" and load them into Batik. Apologies for the length. That's my .02. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
