I think I'm missing something here.
We have vector graphics now as we've had for years, but we've been
limited to a set of primitives that include ovals, polygons, rectangles,
etc, but not Beziers or other more complex shapes, nor the ability to
mix types like arc, line, and Bezier in a single path.
SGV supports this, and to reinforce the scope of benefit for exposing
SGV data as a settable property for Skia to render, some of the issues
Mark Talluto has reported were for raster images - but the only reason
he's using raster images at all is because he doesn't have SGV-style
paths to work with which would give him the shapes he needs even more
flexibly.
But here's where I'm confused:
When Trevor DeVore presented at our local LiveCode User Group meeting a
couple months ago, he showed us a Widget that allowed him to put SVG
data into it as easily as we set points in a polygon.
That seems very much like what you're looking for, and what Mark
Talluto's looking for, and many others.
Was I dreaming?
I'd thought there was an SVGIcon Widget for that purpose, no?
