Hi folks, Not so long ago, someone posted a message about the use of Altbrowser and SVG in a Rev stack (sorry if I don't remember who it was, I just kept this link : http://www.howsoft.com/runrev/svg.htm)
I have to make a decision (and have very little time before I can give an answer to my client) about the possible use of vector graphics made with SVG in a Rev app (actually the project is to refurbish some app I wrote about 2 years ago with MC 2.4.1, and I might consider re-using that version of MC). I am familiar with SVG. The questions I have are mostly related to the best way to embed Altbrowser, the SVG plugin and an MC standalone, and to the best way to distribute it on a CD-Rom : 1) according to what I read on the above mentioned HTML page, the SVG graphics display inside an img control (which is what I do when interfacing Rev with openGL), and therefore can be mixed with other controls (graphics, fields, other imgs...), right ? 2) the window in which the SVG stuff displays is a regular stack window, right ? Which means that I can use it as a splashscreen, or as my default stack, and set the decorations of that window like any other stack ? 3) how fast does the SVG stuff refresh ? can I expect to do animated vector graphics by rendering successive SVG scripts several times per second ? 4) how can the whole thing be distributed ? The ideal situation for me would be to have all required elements (the standalone, the SVG plugin and the Altbrowser DLL) installed on the CD-Rom, with no installation of anything on the end-user HD... And last but not least, what about copyright ? does the Altwrowser licence fee allow that ? I would really apreciate if anyone familiar with the subject could answer the above questions, and give me any detailed infos that could help me make a decision. As said before, time is critical... Basically, the final decision will consist in a choice between SVG and Flash... And to tell the truth, I have the feeling that I could get more realtime control on the displays with SVG... I have used Flash anims in Rev projects before, but haven't really been satisfied with the results...
