Re: SVG Library

[David Bovill via use-livecode]

Thanks for the info. Until now I’ve been displaying SVGs in the browser widget 
- you might want to try that for more advanced SVGs?

I was thinking more of creating svgs using LiveCode. My use case is multiple 
coloured lines - I don’t want to use too many graphic controls so I thought I’d 
create a single SVG.

I want D3 for LiveCode :)

Re: SVG Library

[Bleiler, Timothy via use-livecode]

I’d like to do the same thing David.  I ran into the following problems on 
MacOS 11.3 with all versions of Livecode 9.

I tried using Pixelmator and Inkscape.  Pixelmator Pro worked ok but most of 
its effects don’t export to SVG.  I haven’t been able to get Inkscape to work.

There is a confirmed bug (https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23216) 
in Livecode 9 that cause linear and radial gradients to fail to render.

Livecode has no support for any SVG effects filters but simpler SVG files work 
well.

I’m hoping the bug is fixed soon and then at least basic SVG will be supported 
again.  The SVG files do look much better when scaled up than .png or .jpg. and 
you can avoid having to store all the different sizes of files when trying to 
minimize the scaling problem.

SVG Library

[David Bovill via use-livecode]

I’d like to be able to construct SVG’s easily that work with DrawingSvgCompile. 
Any thoughts?
