That problem (blank area) occurs, if the relation between the available vertical space (width) and horizontal space (height) is different from the relation 1024/768 or 800/600 (= 1.33). I used the attributes width=100%, height=100%, viewBox=0 0 1024 768. A screen with a different relation

Hi Doug and Jerry I talked about the basic shapes for map symbols in Tokyo. The idea was the same like Doug mentioned: Use a regular polygon and a pie slice as basic shapes to build your own map symbol. The (very basic) prototype is available under

Olaf Very well done - good subtle touches like the use of opacity for the shapes, the color choices overall and the varied use of letter spacing. One question, a dumb one, is where can I find the exported SVG as a symbol definition? - all I see is the Alert box. Jerry Hi Doug and Jerry

Jerry you are right. Currently the only export option is an alert box. I will improve that later. I had just the idea to advance the list of shortcut primitives like rect and circle and ellipse. A pie slice primitive with the properties radius and angle would be nice. And ofcourse a regular

Has there ever been a discussion of adding square to Basic Shapes? For instance, following the way circle is done: cx = http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/types.html#DataTypeCoordinatecoordinate The x-axis coordinate of the center of the square. cy =

Hi, Jerry- The issue of basic shapes comes up from time to time. Now isn't the time to ask, with SVG1.2 features being frozen and the Spec not yet being approved, but this is something you should take up with the SVG WG once the dust has settled, as a feature for 1.3 (or whatever). Personally,

Hi, Jerry- Thinking more about your proposal, how about instead of a square, you call it 'regularPoly', and add a parameter to indicate the number of sides. So, you'd have: regularPoly cx='30' cy='50' sides='4' length='15' / That way you could have a broadly applicable element that lets you

Doug Thanks for your long and thoughtful responses. I agree about adding triangles and would really like to see then added to the spec. Ditto for regularPoly ( I am not sure if this should be in place of the triangles or not - the detail you suggest for triangles makes me think they should
