BoundingBox widget / Compile iconPath to image ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The real point that came up here is how to get the bounding box of an SVG path that is used as iconPath of the svgIcon widget. With that it is simple to prepare the path as input for drawingSVGcompile. I wrote this evening a widget that computes the bounding box. A demo stack, incl. an installer button for this "BB widget", shows the 35 lines of script (incl. the SVG template) needed to do the steps for "compile iconPath to image" described above. See http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/900 Conversion via JavaScript is of course (currently) better as drawingSVGCompile. Jonathan Lynch showed this technique to the community before a year or so, and there are some stacks on "Sample Stacks/revOnline" that use this technique. DrawingSVGCompile is (as Mark wrote) still beta. On the other hand it does a pretty good job with complicated but not-too-complex SVGs, e.g. the "postscript-tiger". _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
