Re: SVG icons in buttons
You only need to recompile an svg file to a drawing if the file content changes - drawings scale using the rect of the image object, based on the viewBox and preserveAspectRatio attributes on the root node of the original svg file. If a specific SVG file isn't scaling when compiled to a drawing and resizing the image it's set on, then check what attributes are set on the root 'svg' element. Warmest Regards, Mark.

Re: SVG icons in buttons
The corresponding versions that use JavaScript (from midth 2017) use the full SVG power of a browser and store the SVG as a property of the image. And then they convert (very fast) the SVG again to the image whenever the image is resized. This doesn't need any additional space if you already use a browser widget in your stack. LC 8/9: "SVG Powered Images" [by Jonathan] uses a browser widget http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/830/ LC 6/7/8/9: "SVG2PNG_6789" [by me] uses revBrowser (Mac only) http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/831/ The technique to store the SVG to an image property and to recompile it when the control resizes could also be used for the current LC approach. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: SVG icons in buttons
Nice, even colors. When you change the size of the svg image, then the image in the button sizes along. You have to adjust the button then to the new size Op 27-2-2019 om 16:44 schreef Mark Waddingham via use-livecode: On 2019-02-27 15:56, Richmond via use-livecode wrote: Sort of . . . http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=6=32266=177101#p177101 Hmmm - that is strange - the image looks relatively simple there, so the SVG for it should be and thus be supported...

Ha! Monte answer, (email is running behind the thread!) "Import the SVG using the drawing library `drawingSVGCompile()` and set the text of an image to the returned value.

Re: SVG icons in buttons
I am a little late to the SVG Partywhat do you mean: "Admittedly you do need to compile your SVG to the drawing format so you can use them in images," ?? To state the obvious: Currently, I have to "expose" a new SVG widget every time it make it a button. In theory, if SVG can be images, you could just have one instance and assign it the icon of many buttons on different stacks. Where you store image resources on the main engine stack/hide it, but the ID's are always available. I do this for PNGs, because I need to graphic effects to work in some buttons (shadow, outglow) though I just discovered that if you group the widget, by itself, in does accept the graphic effects. But seems like we are working to hard. A one SVG image/with shadow and outglow with a single ID would be great? (assign as an icon for button is multiple "Views" ) Brahmanathaswami Mark Waddingham wrote: Admittedly you do need to compile your SVG to the drawing format so you can use them in images, but then previously you needed to re-rasterize images at various densities anyway to make your apps look as good as possible.

Also the import is not a real SVG import but an import of the converted image. This is fine, but we shouldn't name these objects "SVG" as they are ordinary images in the stack. Well regardless of what people want to call them or how they want to refer to them... It is possible in 9.0+ to use a reasonably sized subset of the SVG vector image format to define your icons and graphics in a highly efficient way: - in storage: compiled svg files (drawings) are almost always a lot smaller than the original text on disk - in memory: drawings take the same amount of space in memory and to render as they do on disk (which is not true of the XML data-structure needed in memory to render raw SVG!) - in time: drawings are a sequence of vector graphics operations which require virtually no processing to execute, they are just run from start to end as needed (again something which is not true of raw SVG which, being mostly declarative, requires a lot of processing to render) As drawings are vector based, they scale to any size and density very naturally (i.e. they are not raster images!) - which means you no longer need to have multiple rasterized versions of icons/graphics, nor re-generate them each time a new screen density appears. Admittedly you do need to compile your SVG to the drawing format so you can use them in images, but then previously you needed to re-rasterize images at various densities anyway to make your apps look as good as possible. (However, both of these are entirely scriptable - e.g. in the standalone build start handler - or by executing a suitably crafted handler in your stack from the message box). If you need an element of dynamic SVG image generation at runtime then you can include the drawing script-library in a standalone, and use drawingSvgCompile and friends there too. Warmest Regards, Mark. P.S. In response to Haken's query: the need to compile SVG to drawings, and the SVG compiler being a LiveCode library is why you can't set the filename of an image to an SVG file - the engine only understands the 'drawing' format, not SVG. -- Mark Waddingham ~ m...@livecode.com ~ http://www.livecode.com/ LiveCode: Everyone can create apps ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: SVG icons in buttons
For me it usually works with “import as control” or “import as referenced...”, but for some “mysterious” reason it never works by setting the filename of the control. I haven’t looked into the IDE code, but I guess it takes care of the calling to drawingSVGcompile() or something Håkan On 27 Feb 2019, 06:26 +0100, J.
