SVG Library

[Bleiler, Timothy]

I’d like to do the same thing David.  I ran into the following problems on MacOS 11.3 with all versions of Livecode 9.

I tried using Pixelmator and Inkscape.  Pixelmator Pro worked ok but most of its effects don’t export to SVG.  I haven’t been able to get Inkscape to work.

There is a confirmed bug (https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23216) in Livecode 9 that cause linear and radial gradients to fail to render.

Livecode has no support for any SVG effects filters but simpler SVG files work well.

I’m hoping the bug is fixed soon and then at least basic SVG will be supported again.  The SVG files do look much better when scaled up than .png or .jpg. and you can avoid having to store all the different sizes of files when trying to minimize the scaling problem.

I’d like to be able to construct SVG’s easily that work with DrawingSvgCompile. Any thoughts?
