Hi Chris,

 

I have just stumbled upon SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and it occurs to me
that if we had  …

 

1.      A python SVG to Floatcanvas converter 
2.      Good property support for each object on the canvas

 

We could leverage the support of open source SVG front ends like Inkscape
(HYPERLINK "http://www.inkscape.org/"http://www.inkscape.org/) for drawing
with, and use Floatcanvas as a python display tool.

 

As python would have access to the properties of the canvas items, animation
or state changes could easily be coded in, making the canvas dynamic.

 

I had nearly finished my modest Floatcanvas GUI and I was just pondering
adding component scaling when I figured that there had to be another way.
As a front end tool ‘inkscape’ looks to be that way.  

 

Have you had any further thoughts about adding property bags to your core
code?  Strikes me that if you could do that and I work on the SVG to
Floatcanvas reader we could have a serious tool addition here.

 

What say you ?
