I see them as different use cases. Just because you can draw a circle a dozen or so ways in SVG (as was recently proved on this list) doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a circle element. I think that both the regular polygon and the triangle should be supported, and there is some indication that 1.3 will concentrate again on graphical features. (Though I'm personally glad of all the neat WebApp features in 1.2). | And yes, these things couldn't be added until SVG 1.3 or | after so my request is either too late or too early. Too early, at this point. I've summarized this idea, and made a little script that takes the proposed regularPoly and draws them using polygon elements. I haven't yet done the 'rotation' bit, but I'm convinced this idea has merit, and I'll suggest it to the WG post-1.2. http://svg-whiz.com/experiments.html#basicShapes | But what i am really interested in is keeping the proportions | when relative sizes are used - I posted a suggestion earlier | that something like x="10%" y="x(0.5)", so that y would | always be half of x regardless for the proportions of the | field they are in. Yes, lots of us really love this idea. | The square is just a simple version of that which looks like | it would be easy to do since it would be like the circle . | | How I face this day to day is that i work on a Mac with a | cinema display (9x16) and on a PC with display in | conventional proportions | (4x5) and when use the full screen the relatively size | images aren't consistent in shape. | | If there is another way to make them consistent, I would love | to know about it. I agree that there needs to be better support for relative positioning and sizing, and I think Cameron's idea is the best thought out.
