Hi David, not sure I fully understand your requirement. Are you looking for a progressive drawing of a path geometry? If yes, you can do this by animating the stroke-dash of a path.
Here are 2 examples: http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/samples/animated_bustrack.shtml and http://pilat.free.fr/english/animer/france.htm Andreas --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, "ddailey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I will hope Frank finds the time to do the things he's talking about -- they all sound quite worthwhile. > > I, on the other hand, have been playing a bit more: > > http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/followpath6.svg > > You'll need SMIL support and JavaScript in your SVG to see it, but it's only 100 lines of code so it can be comprehended with a large glance. > > In the long run, a student and I are interested in animating the growth of a tree, but I wanted to get a simple context sensitive theory of budding. I've slowed down the budding so the brambles don't surround the castle too quickly. It might be nice to use a Lindenmeyer system (sort of a Chomskian grammar in parallel) to generate the budding, but for now it's just branch --> branch + branch, and there is no biophysics (other than edge avoidance). > > Any clever ideas on how to reveal the shape of a Bezier curve gradually -- namely to draw it as it is being traversed by an animation? > > cheers > David > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
