Vector graphics, again

[Alejandro Tejada via use-livecode]

This second version works better because includes a
transparent background rectangle that effectively
corrects the border cropping problem from first version:

Vector graphics, again

Hi Richmond,

I posted 2 files (1-SVG file 2-LiveCode v8 stack) and
code in the forum:

Just create a new MultiColor SVG widget and paste this:















If you notice a few glitches, like cropped borders, please contact the
creators of MultiColor SVG widget or edit the original svg file and make
smaller all shapes.

Have a nice weekend!

Hi Richmond,

Download this really old stack:
http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/alejandro/stacks/exportVector_v03.zip

Open the stack exportVector_v03, erase all vector graphics
and paste your vector graphics. Then, select from
SVG, PDF or Adobe Ilustrator and click: Export

Post in Google Drive or Dropbox your results or paste
them in the forum.

Could this handler still be useful after so many years?

I looked into this a few years ago for a project - just converting images into 
SVG. It is a very difficult problem to do in LC, because the application has to 
trace out lines and convert them to vectors. This is not too bad for very 
simple black and white images. When the images involve complex shapes and lots 
of colors, the resulting SVG files can be very large, with many many paths.

So, you could take a snapshot of a group to get an image file, then submit the 
image file to one of the online raster-to-vector converters. The resulting SVG 
may or may not be adequate, and may or may not work well in LC, but seems worth 
trying.

Re: Vector graphics, again

Not really . . . .

What Richmond wants to do is as follows:

Generate vector graphics from groups of images and/or fields in Livecode 
in such
 a way thst they can be handled exactly in the same way as the SVG 
widget (which

Richmond is in love with).

I was just suggesting an alternative solution.

Raster to vector conversions are clunky, but there are a few online services 
that do this.

You could keep it as a vector graphic in a browser widget, rotate it in the 
browser, then export it from the browser widget as an image for LC to use.

I know - it is an overkill solution, and it might be too slow if the dominoes 
are moving around quickly, but if not, it would work.

Vector graphics, again

[Richmond via use-livecode]

I have found that Livecode is really fantastic for generating families 
of images

such as domino sets, which can be either imported from a group as images
or exported as PNG images.

However, rotating those images results in all the "unfortunateness" 
involved in

rotating any image in Livecode that is not an SVG widget.

Is there a way in which one can generate an image from a group and 
import it as a vector graphic

and/or export it in a vector format, and/or make it into an SVG widget?

Richmond.
