<symbol id="rect1" viewBox="0 0 50 50" preserveAspectRatio="none"> <rect x="0" y="0" width="50" height="50"/> </symbol> <use xlink:href="#rect1" x="100" y="200" width="100" height="100"/> <!--this will place the rect with the dimensions 100/100 at 100/200 --> <use xlink:href="#rect1" x="100" y="200" width="100" height="100" fill="green"/> <!-- this rect will additionaly be filled green --> <g fill="red"><!--two rects will be shown, both filled red , but with different dimensions--> <use xlink:href="#rect1" x="200" y="200" width="100" height="100"/> <use xlink:href="#rect1" width="200" height="200"/> </g> the last example use normal inheritance rules. note! only propertys will get inherited. see: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/propidx.html for a list of propertys you can use. it depends on what you want to do exactly, maybe you can use xslt as a first step to pass paramenters to shape definitions. try an svg enabled mozilla build ( http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/ ) which is a great tool to develop svg creating xslts. if you use that build you might also want to look at XBL, examples can be found here: http://www.croczilla.com/svg/samples/ there is no implementation yet, though you might also want to look at sXBL ( http://www.w3.org/TR/sXBL/ ) regards Holger ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
