Re: SVG?

Yes, and from the little I have played with it so far, its seems impressive.
I have gone as far as starting refactoring the KPresenter painting stuff to export to SVG. The little I have shows that you can paint to is just as you would to a pixmap, but it saves it to XML.... now if there was just a viewer so i could test how accurate it was. (yes i know of ksvg, but it needs help).

Cheers

Hey Ian,

Not sure what you mean here? KSVG should be fine for static svgs.
Can you indicate the problems you encountered? And how did you do the svg exporting?
Cheers,

Rob.

Mostly gradients, that and it gets confused easily. KSVG may be fine, so we will have gotten 1% of the browser market there... its just i really would enjoy it if i could export a SVG of my KPresenter presentation and have a client read it who is still running IE...

as for how i made it. I just setup a QPicture as my paint device and painted the KPresenter page. Now this might have bugs, I just cannot tell since there seem to be no good SVG viewers that I can definitively say work... Batik comes close, but seems to also get "funny" with gradients. Maby its a bug in QPicture? Dunno... Ill need to play some more.

Give them a link to the free adobe SVG plugin and they'll be fine.

Hi Ian,

Like Richard said, ASV is fine to use on win using IE.

I think the answer to your problems is that QPicture doesnt know
nothing about gradients. In fact I think QPainter doesnt know about
gradients either. Perhaps we could create a KSVGPicture that does support
this though.
Cheers,

Rob.

*zing* the sound of the point being missed again ;)

did i mention i was exporting from within KPresenter?
did i mention i was doing this as an option for the web export?

the point is we can write these buggers over and over but we cannot read them in a useful manner... we need to wait until this catches on as a standard first.
