Re: Is it possible to put a SVG file directly on a form?
I just dragged an xmlns.svg file on a form as a background picture, displayed the form and re-sized it. It scaled perfectly. Then I created a picture button on the form, selected 'file' as the source, and dragged an xmlns.svg file onto the button.It also scaled perfectly.

Re: Is it possible to put a SVG file directly on a form?
Hi Jim, Thanks for the reply. I recall some discussion a while ago when I was having issues with text resolution in SVG I was creating and then rendering into pics. Someone (Miyako?) mentioned placing the file directly on the form. The thing I wanted was to preserver the 'scalable' part of the SVG. Plus the files are really small natively. I'm playing with icons again and looking for a way to embed the files without having to create pic vars.

Re: Is it possible to put a SVG file directly on a form?
Kirk, Have you tried: 1) Place SVG file in database’s “Resources” folder. 2) Restart 4D. 3) Locate SVG file in "Design -> Tool Box -> Resources". 4) Drag SVG from the Tool Box’s "Resources” window to the form. 5) Resize SVG as needed. Note the Property Inspector’s “Name/ID” attribute records the path to SVG file. - Jeremy French ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Re: Is it possible to put a SVG file directly on a form?
The only way to display the SVG in a form that I know of is in a picture variable or field. Using SVG_Export_To_picture, store the SVG in a picture field or variable and display it on the form. I store the SVG in a field. On a form I retrieve the SVG from the picture field with SVG_Open_picture then display it in the form in a picture variable with SVG_Export_To_picture. I can then update the SVG based on user inputs and display the changes in real time in the form’s picture variable using SVG_Export_To_picture. When the record is saved the SVG is sent back to the field with SVG_Export_To_picture. Hope that helps.

Re: Is it possible to put a SVG file directly on a form?
Of course you can display the source in a text variable (either visible or invisible) on a form if you need to save the SVG temporarily. What are you trying to do?
