Hello, I am interested in having broader support for non-scaling stroke on SVG shapes. This is a SVGT 1.2 feature: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/painting.html#NonScalingStroke
This adds a CSS property and attribute: vector-effect. This property can have three values: none (default), inherit, or non-scaling-stroke. When non-scaling-stroke, the stroke (outline) of a shape would maintain its specified width regardless of the transforms applied to the shape. This is very useful when importing foreign SVG into new documents and in GIS/mapping scenarios (for instance, zooming in on a map would not "fatten" the driving directions path). I realize that WebKit has been generally not interested in SVGT 1.2, but I feel it makes sense to cherry-pick certain features that really do improve SVG on the web. Non-scaling stroke is one of these features. FWIW, Opera has implemented this feature since version 9.5. I have opened a bug and supplied a patch that gets this off the ground in WebKit: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31438 I only need to figure out how to add some tests (need to understand how pixel tests work in WebKit). Darin Adler requested that I bring this up on this list for discussion. Thanks, Jeff Schiller _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
