Thanks Andreas. I downloaded the Optimizer but couldn't get it to optimize the Absolute to Relative as I hoped. Might be in there somewhere, just didn't seem to work for me.
I wrote a very basic Java program (I'm just learning) which runs through all the LineTo(L) and MoveTo(M) elements adding them to an array. Once I have them all I run through the array, backwards, and calculate the difference between the to and convert the L co-ordinates to "l" plus the relative co-ordinates. I've cut the co-ordinates down to 2 decimal places and it's saved me one third of the size, on average. Guess I need to start looking at the other element types and see if I can come up with a "professional" version. ;o) Cheers Martin... --- In [email protected], "Andreas Neumann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Martin, > > there is a tool called SVG Optimizer developed at Oxford Brookes > University: http://myfriendsnet.com/svg/index.html > > AFAIK it does path optimizations.
