That is a very cool example ! Some nit picking (just trying to help make examples/snippets even more sexy).
The shortest expression to get to the contents of a URL, using only unary selectors is 'https://s.cdpn.io/3/kiwi.svg' asUrl retrieveContents. XMLDomParser's API also has the option #parseURL: so the following would also work XMLDomParser parseURL: 'https://s.cdpn.io/3/kiwi.svg'. I believe that call actually has some additional functionality too. > On 5 Oct 2017, at 15:24, Peter Uhnák <i.uh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > this is not really tested, but you can try to do the following > > (installation) > a) install XMLParser from catalog > b) in monticello browser open Pharo/Athens and load latest version of > Athens-SVG package > > (usage) > Then you import SVG XML using Converter and paint it on a surface, which you > convert to Form. > > ``` > contents := (ZnEasy get: 'https://s.cdpn.io/3/kiwi.svg') contents. > > xmlDoc := XMLDOMParser parse: contents. > > svg := AthensSVGConverter new importXMLDocument: xmlDoc. > svg transform: 'scale(0.5)'. > > extent := 500 @ 500. > > surface := AthensCairoSurface extent: extent. > surface drawDuring: [ :aCanvas | svg renderOn: aCanvas ]. > surface asForm. > ``` > > <image.png> > > Peter > > On Thu, Oct 5, 2017 at 1:50 PM, Steven R.
