RE: XSLT converts svg to shapes with basic transform handling.
I'll try and do that. It's not pefect, I found I also need to scale the stroke width, luckily dia ignoes this for now. Scaling paths is hard because there are so many delimiters of draw operations and coordinates and xslt was not written for parsing text. So I concluded it would be better to just wait till dia more fully supports xslt, I.e. The workaround is more work than the fix.

RE: XSLT converts svg to shapes with basic transform handling.
I've now got a recursive transform apply-er. It accumulates transforms as it processes svg nodes and applies these to the nodes as it goes. It doesn't yet perform rotates because while rotating a rounded rect is merely awkward I haven't worked out how to rotate an ellipse without leaving in the transform attribute. I've also foun I need to scale stroke widths, also that draw strings cann use white space to separate coordinates and no white space around draw instructions. Parsin that in xslt is a joke. So can I ask how much will be needed? It may be easier to support transforms in dia directly...

Transforms are not handled on groups, but any tag that has a @transform attribute will have scaling and offset applied to attributes x, x1, x2, y, y1, y2 and also to d, points. d, points are handled specially, the attribute value is split on white space and anything with a , in it is treated as an x-y pair, with the transform done on the x and y pair.

Re: XSLT converts svg to shapes
Hi Sam, thanks a lot for these tools! I have to test them. Would it be possible to include them in the Dia distribution (=put them under the GPL)? Maybe we can hook up the shape-svg thing with the XSLT plug-in. For the svg-shape way, we would need an XSLT-import plug-in. Or add it to the Sheets and Objects dialog...

RE: XSLT converts svg to shapes
(Sorry about top quoting and other sins of Pocket Outlook). For sure. © 2007 Ufomechanic. Licensed under GPL 2 or later. If you use libxslt (part of gnome) it should work straight off. Sheets and object diaglog is better than an import plugin I think. I guess when and svg sheet is loaded it should do what the bash script does - or rather it should be able to generate it's own icon. I guess this means that sheet xml ought to b able to reference svg files as well as shape. I'll get the svg2shape to take inkscape svg and filter out all the sodipodi stuff.
