Re: Using a hidden browser widget to create a perfectly scalable LC control

I agree - but I need fully scalable controls for Augmented Earth now, not later, and the current SVG objects are not complete. My app uses the browser widget anyway, so not worried about the overhead. Sent from my iPhone > On May 11, 2017, at 10:49 AM, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode >

Re: Using a hidden browser widget to create a perfectly scalable LC control

Hi Alejandro, I am almost done. It has a weird bug where the widget only works after the first attempt for each image. It works great after that. I will get it, though. Sent from my iPhone > On May 10, 2017, at 11:09 PM, Alejandro Tejada via use-livecode >

Re: Using a hidden browser widget to create a perfectly scalable LC control

Hi Jonathan, if you do it anyway, then you could also add SVG-Filter. Not too much work, they can easily be chained and work fine in the browser widget (where the browser widget works ...). I have it working but have no time for the demostack. Hermann

Re: Using a hidden browser widget to create a perfectly scalable LC control

Ah - sorry to reinvent the wheel. I already did it, though, and it allows for live near-perfect resizing, so I will go ahead and share it for that one aspect. Sent from my iPhone > On May 10, 2017, at 6:40 PM, hh via use-livecode > wrote: > > This is

Using a hidden browser widget to create a perfectly scalable LC control

I just did an experiment. It appears to be possible to have an image object that stores svg data in a custom property. It connects to a hidden browser widget to do the following: - squirt the svg data into an HTML canvas - resize the svg image using the setscale() method - export the resized
