I am working on an application , which uses SVG extensively as icons as well as
background images . We are planning to provide an option for mass editing of
the icons.
Is there any way i can extract common elements ( circles,rects.. etc ) from
svg document?
-----------------
I don't know where this application is likely to run, but within the svg
document itself you can use javascript to do much of the work sort of as
follows:
function multitag(O){
var Shapes=new Array("rect","circle","path","ellipse")
Shapelist=new Object
for (i in Shapes){
Shapelist[Shapes[i]]=O.getElementsByTagNameNS(xmlns,Shapes[i])
for (j=0;j<Shapelist[Shapes[i]].length;j++){
alert(Shapes[i]+" "+j+":"+Shapelist[Shapes[i]].item(j).nodeName)
}
}
return Shapelist
}
The inner loop with the alerts is in there just to show step-by-step results.
Basically this function can be invoked with a call like Stuff=multitag(SVGRoot)
and then stuff will be an Object (sort of like an associative array),
consisting of
a collection of nodeLists organized by and indexed by node type
("rect","circle","path","ellipse").
It can be accessed just as it is in the inner loop.
Basically, the getElementsByTagNameNS method does all the work.
Such code works for me in IE/ASV, Opera 9 and FF1.5.
hope this makes sense,
David
