Hi, FPC for a long time had support for raster images in fcl-image. It now has support for what is probably the most used vector image today: SVG. Support is broad: - All drawing primitives. - Full font support (using platform native font support, freetype as fallback). - CSS support (using fcl-css) - Animation support (SMIL) - Filters - paint servers (patterns) What is not supported: - Javascript - The DOM - Color profiles (still planned) Which is logical, since we're not in the browser. The code renders a SVG file to a fcl-image supported format. For animated SVGs, the code can render a single frame at any given timestamp, or create a series of image frames in a GIF. The results have been carefully tuned and compared with the W3C SVG reference set of images, and conformance to the standard is very good: mean/median difference <3%, barely visible with the naked eye. An example of what can be done is viewable in https://www.freepascal.org/~michael/svg/ As part of the work, the existing GIF reader was extended and a GIF writer was created - making the animation in the above page possible. The code is compilable with FPC 3.2.2, I'll upload the code to a separate repo for those that want to use it with FPC 3.2.2 (it then needs trunk's fcl-css and image support included) Still to do: - Color profiles - Generate a PDF image from the SVG. - Lazarus component(s). Enjoy! Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [email protected] https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [email protected] https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
