A fascinating point Bob!
I wonder if this sort of projection along the t axis is actually under consideration by them. Alternatively, for someone who didn't want to implement animate, wouldn't putting replicate in the spec yield, for them, animate, by just projecting z along time? regards David From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Hopgood Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 10:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [svg-developers] Replicate I think the functionality proposed by the replicate element is definitely of interest even if it is only used by animators to visualise their animations ;-) David has pointed out already that everybody other than Microsoft has already implemented all the required functionality. As the WG is proposing to add a viewing transformation to SVG, my query is whether there is a need for a new replicate element? If you assume SVG drawings currently exist in a 3D space of x,y and t and the WG is proposing to add a fourth (z) plus a transformation on to a 2D space then, as long as the transformation allows parallel projections along the t-axis, don't we get all we need from animate and calcMode="discrete"?
