 Hi,

 http://www.zuccaralloo.de/devgroup/samples/weatherFronts.svg

 shows a sample using textPath, a custom font and custom elements to
 generate weather front curves. The attributes of the custom elements
 determine the size, type and space in between the front symbols. The
 actual space between the symbols will be adjusted to the length of the
 path and the number of intervals calculated to fit on the path. Thus a
 front will have this order: 1/2length of space - symbol - space - ...
 -  space - symbol - 1/2length of space.

 Anyhow, this probably needs some improvements but maybe somebody has
 use for it or will modify it to fit their needs.

Hi Heiko

ive  one idea to improve the script.
in line 43

svgRoot.appendChild(group);

should be

front.parentNode.insertBefore(group,front)

so you can place the fopa:front elements anywhere in your document.
beside that, it looks really cool.
nice work.


cheers
