Don't assume that vectorized screencaps won't look like garbage when scaled...I think you're looking at the wrong technology for this.
What is the software written in? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 9:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [svg-developers] Re: Is it possible to capture software screens direct into SVG? Hello Holger, Thanks for the link to the application. I am trying to capture hundreds of software screens that have to be saved, rendered and/or exported to SVG format. I am looking for a way to get pixel to vector conversion or straight vector conversion from a video card. Or, perhaps there is a way to display a pixel screen in a special custom browser that could snap each row of pixels to vector format. If you know of any tools that can accomplish this, please let me know. I have seen tools that save screens to SVG and the result was a .png file that was wrapped in SVG code. I need a "TRUE" SVG right from the source, so that I can have computer menu screens that are scalable (in both directions) without pixelating and getting blurry. Any feedback on this issue is very much appreciated.
