I'd like to get people's opinions on putting some kind of SVG support
into the qx framework. I know that SVG isn't as widely supported as it could
be (most notably IE 6) but now that IE 7 has added some level of SVG
support, is it time to consider adding this to the qx framework? I
personally have at least two projects that would benefit from an SVG
implementation. I've been reading through a fair bit of the qx code when I
can, and I don't know how exactly I might start adding support. The first
path that I thought about would be to implement a qx.ui.basic.svg class
based on qx.ui.basic.Image. Reading through the code, it seems that there's
a lot more going on in the preloading system than I had suspected. I thought
I would try hacking the image preloading to accept svg files as valid images
and just pass rendering to the browser, but I didn't think that would be the
sort of change that would be accepted into the code base. So, my questions
are:1> If I want to add some kind of SVG support, where does it make the most sense in qx? 2> How much of the preloading system am I going to have to learn/modify if I want to do this? 3> Has anyone else been working on something like this? 4> Should I wait and try something a bit less ambitious first? I'd be happy to hear comments on any of what I've written here.
