Me, too; that is, I'd like to be a little more precise
about what we're saying in this thread.  There's no 
standard, correct, that invalidates SVG-within-SVG?  I
welcome the report that the Firefoxers determined this
is a security risk, and blocked it, but I also agree
that the local-resource question deserves more investi-
gation.

This is a stupid conversation.

I don't mean that *you*, cremnosedum, are in any way defective;
I'm trying to express that there's something dysfunctional about
our culture that we'd ever get to the point that the browser
maintainers other than cheerfully and with utter clarity make it
quite public how and how much they're improving their offerings.
It *is* real, though:  browsers are released, and utterly miss
out on the opportunity to advertise all their benefits.

I expect a few representatives of major browsers will follow up
shortly with explicit lists of recent advances.  If not, others
of us will doubtless pull them together.

cremnosedum, SVG *is* advancing.

I suspect there's a bit of confusion in this conversation.

robin might well choose to hire someone to help select, 
configure and "connect ... to [his] backoffice, planning &
accounting ..." exactly the "prepared templates" that we 
know are available--but impractical for a non-programmer to
wrangle.  That doesn't make him reliant on a "single
person"--certainly no more so than with some of the atrocities
that have been committed by "power users" of "standard 
software".

My summary:  Jan is right to note certain risks.  robin should
expect to provide more detail about his requirements.  I see
nothing inherently incoherent or infeasible in what robin has
presented to this point.

Help me understand the question, please:  are you saying you're
in a Windows environment, and want a built-in method for reaching
an arbitrary executable from an SVG document displayed in any 
browser?  That's a tall order--infeasible, in fact, as it stands.
Would it be enough to script COM from your SVG document?

Mr. Delacour, I judge that a modest hope, one that deserves

These businesses claim to comprehend *your* logic, and

On the other hand, I strongly, STRONGLY agree that we've

Indeed; and what I get from business people is along the lines
of, "So?  We already have dev teams to tune our graphics and
apps for each of the delivery platforms.  Now you're telling me
*some* of the graphics carry over automatically--big deal!"

If it were just for the vector graphics, I doubt that SVG would
have attracted *me* enough to make the jump.

Please say a few words more, Mr. Delacour.

I mildly agree with you--but I suspect we might see different
pictures when we use the same words.  What, for you, is the
significance among end-users of scalable images?  What's the
"business case" you see for vector, as opposed to raster,
graphics?

For me, SVG has already gone more-than-nowhere.

The one thing I'd emphasize is that HTML5 is no monolith:
it's a bag full of goodies.  Different parts work (and

Indeed; I hope representatives of the different browser 
and/or specification teams speak up.  I certainly don't
know.

In casual language, I know it as necessary to reach any SVG scripting
(actually, only the *first* scripting block, I think) from the outside;
that is, if A.html embeds B.svg, and B.svg has scripts A.html needs to
invoke/update/..., A.html must navigate by way of defaultView to reach
the space of embedded scripts.  I haven't found an authoritative
description or explanation; I've just imitated other artisans I've 
noticed.  My rough understanding is that most browsers implement 
defaultView for SVG, even though, as you observe, 1.1 doesn't appear
to include it.

Me, too.  I don't know the answer.  Google has code which uses
one, and refers to the other in an accompanying comment.  On
the whole, right now I feel slightly more inclined to use 
contentDocument--note, though, that I would have given a differ-

David, please elaborate on this.  My first reaction is that
HTML solves a *lot* of problems in the world, in the sense
that Web applications exist and do valuable work.  Are you
saying something like, "the front page of Google doesn't 
*need* HTML; except for the searchbox, we could do everything
in SVG"?  I hope not--I hope you're making some different
point that I'm missing.

Is this really published nowhere?  If no one else speaks up,

This thread has confused me.  As I haven't kept up with the
exact source in play, I can't be certain; I suspect, though,
that your JavaScript coding simply is mistaken.  The namespace
of an embedded SVG instance is distinct from that of the 
main document.  I've been most successful with constructions
that look more like:

[svg-developers] I seek a 3D CAD-like development package

2011-04-20 Thread Cameron Laird
An academic with whom I work needs a development package.  While
I doubt that SVG is part of the best solution at the moment, it
might be, and, in any case, this group is likely to know where I
can better look.

He wants to do what I call hydraulic modeling:  he's (effectively)
an economist who needs to visualize graphs of connected reservoirs,
along with the flows between them.  This is fairly routine stuff:
networks or graphs of vertices or nodes, which can be edited 
visually.  Crucial with him is that he wants viewers to be able to
perform 3D rotations, so they can see the flows and reservoirs "on
the back side" of the model.  We'll need a little programmability
at the nodes, so we can, for example, have a node flash red if its
level hits an alarm condition.

This is standard stuff.  I've done things like this for over twenty
years.  I'm asking for help, though, because I'd love to re-use
some standard, lightweight, Web package, so we can concentrate on
the economic content.

Is this ringing any bells with anyone?  My guess is that there's
a JavaScript-Canvas-based product "out there" already, and I just
need to find it.

While I know of none, it certainly would be entertaining to build one.

I know mathematics, and SVG, but I truly don't see the 
connection you're making here.  I suspect a lot of it
has to do with "simple way"--no, it's a certainty that
pathologic cases will break any such scheme you propose,
but, yes, if you have information about the matrix that
perhaps is obvious to you, but I don't apprehend, then
useful visualizations are feasible.

I'd love to understand better what you have in mind.
What would it take to make a minimal example of "matrix
visualization" for you?

[svg-developers] Request for help with Canvas and Flash

2010-08-16 Thread Cameron Laird
I'd welcome help responding to the comment from 'a1programmer' which
appears in http://www.dzone.com/links/how_html5_will_change_your_software_development_a.html
 >.
I am too inexperienced in Flash to follow-up with confidence on my
own.

More detail:  the article in question (note that a1programmer seems
to have at least one other, unknown to me, in mind) only touches 
peripherally on SVG.  I write to this mailing list, though, because
it's the home of the people *I* know who are best with Canvas and
Flash.  Also, when I write, "... welcome help ...", what I have in
mind is that someone more expert than I writes on his own behalf.
