Re: SVG import

[Richmond Mathewson]

I use Inkscape on both Mac and Linux, there is also Drawberry for Mac:

https://inkscape.org/en/

http://raphaelbost.free.fr/DrawBerry.html

personally I prefer the first one because it is available for Mac, Win 
and Lin, and is a full-blown

rival to Illustrator that is free.

I agree with Richmond though.

I am just looking at a workflow for designing a number of graphics and trying 
to decide between SVG and oversized bitmaps.  The latter would be simpler to 
create - in fact I haven’t actually attempted to create SVG, and the first 
attempt I made to open one in  text editor revealed a huge file in which I 
couldn’t find the numbers.

I also haven’t got any software for creating SVG.

So.

1/ Would I just be better sticking with bitmaps?

and

3/ Is there a work flow for idiots somewhere?

SVG import

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi Richmond,

I believe that the best way to use SVG ilustrations
within LiveCode is converting them to PNG images.

Take a look at these stacks (download draft v02)
http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=11=28384
I hope that developers more experienced take notice
and fix these early drafts...

About SVGL plus Gradients, I found the main issue
to complete this stack:
Flattening (or applying) all transforms in the SVG
before drawing the vectors inside LiveCode

If you look in the web for a tool or script that could
do these simple math operations, there is none...
This Javascript tool do not seems to work with Matrix Transforms
(precisely the most common transformations):
https://gist.github.com/timo22345/9413158

Richmond, Do you want to help to create (and test)
code to flattening (or applying) all transforms in a
SVG using LiveCode?
