Here are a couple of interesting examples / difficult browser calisthenics: http://granite.sru.edu/~ddailey/svg/animoval3.svg and http://granite.sru.edu/~ddailey/svg/animoval4.svg
The first works much as I think it should in Opera, Chrome and IE/ASV. FF4 runs only one of the gears. Safari screws up the stroke's gradient. IE/ASV, though and Opera/Chrome/Safari don't agree about the proper values for animating dashoffset.In IE/ASV, using values="0;24" and values="24;0" respectively for the two animations seems to line up the gear teeth well, whereas for the others I had to do values="12;36" and values="24;0" to keep the teeth from colliding. The second example seems to work well only in IE/ASV and Chrome -- a first for those two to team up in bettering Opera in my experience! ASV and both webkit browsers seem to get the outergear to spin. FF seems to see that there is something there, but stalls before it can make a go of it, and Opera for some odd reason seems to ignore that particular animation. Btw, I rather liked the slighty readjustment that ASV and webkit experience due to the circumference of the ellipse being irrational -- something like it might be expected, I think, in a physical model. At first I was annoyed that I couldn't get the gradient to extend out into the teeth, but then I remembered the r attribute of a radial gradient (.5 by default). I could have varied it but decided not to. It would be fun to make more complex machines sorta like this based on SMIL, but we'd have to figure out which browers are doing it right first I suppose. Do let me know if it is my code of the browsers that are goofy here. cheers David [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: svg-developers-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
