------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat May 28 10:15:18 -0700 2005 ------- This is *not* a duplicate of issue 2497. Embedding (this issue) instead of importing (issue 2497) SVG vector graphics is better (as described in my lengthy post to issue 2497) and far more simple. Embedded SVG should be displayable in all OOoffice applications (like bitmap graphics), but it should not be editable. Nevertheless, there is a benefit of SVG over bitmaps, since they are resolution independent and can be rendered to each device without aliasing effects. Due to limitations in the OOdraw format, the only way of "importing" SVG correctly, is to take a full-featured SVG rendering engine and render into OOdraw primitives instead of those of the graphics card. Of cause, this is not what people expect from SVG import, since all structure other than grouping, which was present in SVG, is completely removed. The effect is that for non-trivial SVG images, the results obtained from importing into native OOdraw must be almost unusable for anything other than displaying. But then it's better to provide a way of perfectly displaying arbitrary embedded SVG graphics by including a third-party SVG rendering engine into OOoffice. This prevents people from destroying their SVG images by "importing" them into OOoffice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
