I needed sophisticated math to generate SVG polygons. Javscript just didn't
have the Math handling I required.
Therefore, I decided to give Python a try. It works just dandy. I registered
Python as a scripting language at the server. I can then generate the data to
build SVG either on the server, and/or at the client.
Those not familiar with Python: It is similar to Javsscript, but uses indents
rather than braces{} to delineate program loops, and uses 'def' to define a
function e.g. def myFunctionName(arguments):
For anyone interested in using Python to generate SVG, I suggest loading Python
and including the following modules: Scipy, Shapely, Descartes, svgWrite, and
mathplotlib.
To register Python on a Windows Server, requires PyISAPIe (An ISAPI extension
for Windows-based web servers that allows Python scripts to be used to serve
web pages.)
Currently, I'm using Wing as the IDE for Python. (Wing has a freebie IDE that
is very good for getting started).

Francis
