Re: SVG Editors, anyone?

@ Alejandro: The use cases I have in mind are small but design rich "tiles" logos/buttons/icons, so I don't think a browser works. Of course larger more complex would also be great… Here is an icon design I got from our lead designer last year, I was excitedly rejoicing at team meetings

Re: SVG Editors, anyone?

Thanks for the thought, Alejandro, but I don’t see how this would work when it comes to scaling. My idea would be to adapt the size of the widget to the screen size as part of the standalone, by simply changing its dimensions, and voila! the graphics in the widget would always look good. If I

Re: SVG Editors, anyone?

Hi Graham, Could you use the browser widget to render a svg as png? Take a look at this javascript code that shows 3 different methods to create a transparent png from svg files: http://techslides.com/save-svg-as-an-image This works really fine:

Re: SVG Editors, anyone?

Yes, I’m assuming that the SVG capabilities of widgets will develop until pretty much any SVG graphic can be rendered: this could of course be wrong. But I would be very sad if we have to stick to monochrome for any serious work. After all, complex controls, which is what widgets are, are

Re: SVG Editors, anyone?

Are you looking to go beyond the single path, one color option we have now? I keep getting illustrator files from our designers that can be saved and shown SVG on the web, inclusive of multiple paths and gradients but would love to use them in LC apps. BR On 8/5/16, 10:33 PM,

Re: SVG Editors, anyone?

Hi Beda aybe I spoke too soon - AffinityDesigner looks great (and affordable), although I am not sure I could train myself adequately to use it. Still, I will try both Inkscape and AffinityDesigner. My first goal is to make a widget which displays a fairly photo-realisitic graphic that can be

Re: SVG Editors, anyone?

Hello Graham, that’s what I’m looking for too, after seeing widgets on the great conference in Edingburgh this week. CrossPlatform, Opensource and free alternative is Inkscape. An advanced substitute vor Illustrator in my opinion is AffinityDesigner (Mac) for 40 £ and now also available

Ok, everyone - it’s Inkscape. To reassure Peter, I do normally contribute money to stuff that’s created from community efforts as soon as I start using it seriously. Thanks to all who replied. Graham > On 5 Aug 2016, at 20:06, Peter TB Brett wrote: > > On

Re: SVG Editors, anyone?

I use InkScape, the one mentioned by many, for laser milling. It takes some effort to get up to speed. I miss Cricket Draw. One important thing to remember, whatever the tool, is that you can edit by hand if need be if there are quirks in the file. These are usually in scaling. If your

SVG Editors, anyone?

Having got very interested in LC widgets at the conference, I’m about to start experimenting, but I need to create some SVG graphics based on my own designs. I can’t afford Illustrator - has anyone got any recommendations for a free, or at any rate, not very expensive, editor suitable for
