The coming of SVG

[hh]

PLEASE, let us first have the basic enhanced object, probably "canvas".
This will need at least a full year (my estimate).

Then add other things (you can already now have via LC Script or via
JavaScript in a browser widget):

Not this hard in LiveCode Script, see for example

Works in LC 6/7/8/9 and you can use the core algorithm from there also
in LC Builder/ a widget -- I use it for the 'clickThrough' of certain
transparent parts of a widget).

You could use just now JavaScript via a browser widget, see for example
'AutoDraw_SVGicon' and 'SVG-TextCrawler' (use "Sample Stacks" or
