[1] describes each of the path commands as having 'coordinates'. [2] says that "coordinates" are "lengths" which are "numbers" which can be in decimal notation:
"either an <integer>, or an optional sign character followed by zero or more digits followed by a dot (.) followed by one or more digits. which indicates to me that not including the 'nought' is ok and should be allowed. On the other hand, I'm not sure about begin/end times in SMIL. I noticed last night that Opera seems to have problem with missing nought characters in SMIL events (i.e. begin=".25s"). Haven't done any thorough investigation though. These are the types of things we need to include in a 'SVG Torture Test' Regards, Jeff [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/paths.html#PathData [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/types.html#DataTypeDecimalNumber --- In [email protected], John Delacour <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I will usually write 0.5 rather than .5 from my own preference rather > than to satisfy any specification, but I see that, while Firefox and > Opera render the path bwlow, Safari chokes at the "...11.5,0 .5,11 > q...' > > > <path d="M 0,0 l 18,0 2,-1 1,-6 11.5,0 .5,11 q 14 3 18,-4 l 39,0 > 0,-10 -40,0 q -6 -1 -5 -8 l -3,0 0,-2 a 8,8 1,0 1 0 -11 l 0,-4 -21,0 > 0,4 a 8,8 1,0 1 0 11 l 0,2 -3,0 q -1 4 -10.5 4 l -.5 3 q -8 2 -7 12" > fill="burlywood" stroke="black" opacity=".8" /> > > Does the SVG Specification require me to write the nought in this context? > > JD > ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
