Hi All, Many Thanks for your kind words, but remember that this is just an updated version of Ian McPhail's stack SVGL: http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/112/SVGL I posted a small update of SVGL (Not SVGL + Gradients) in this forum thread:

That just about broke my brain in Algebra. I contended that an infinitely small point was nothing at all, therefore an infinite number of points was also nothing at all. So why were we talking about it as though it were something tangible?? :-) Bob S On Nov 9, 2015, at 16:56 , Richard Gaskin

Re: Vector Images and the SVGL stack

Inversely, one could argue that if this can be done strictly with Livecode the way it is now, why do we need to make SVG support such a high priority? Bob S On Nov 7, 2015, at 08:41 , Richmond > wrote: This is really super work:

Re: Vector Images and the SVGL stack

Unless I misunderstand what Alejandro is doing, his work is able to run in v7 and earlier because it translates SVG elements into LC graphics. He does a very good job of it, but SVG includes primitives beyond what LC offers. We have ovals, lines, polygons, roundRects, and rects, but SVG also

Re: Vector Images and the SVGL stack

I was simply commenting that my sense of SVG is that it is cost free alternative to Postscript, which has to be licensed by anyone who uses it. I could be mistaken. Postscript is of course, a great deal more robust. For example, I do not see anything in the SVG standard that uses color

Re: Vector Images and the SVGL stack

Ah! I was under the impression that Alejandro had come up with a comprehensive library of SVG routines. As an aside, from what I am reading, SVG seems to be vector graphics for those of us who don't want to license Postscript. I've never worked with them before, but my curiosity is piqued. Bob
