Hi All

I am looking to display SVG data on a form. Anyone made already some experience with that?

Thanks for your reply, Robert

Have you tried to display the SVG image with a blobloader in a HTML AREA field?

You could also use the browser bean from IT2BE: http://www.it2be.com.

I don’t think a SVG image is rendered in a browser!
a browser only does: jpg, gif, bmp and png

Hello Karel

No, I didn’t try to display the SVG image in a blobloader HTML AREA field. I do not assume that anything useful would be displayed, as when showing SVG data in a browser, one needs to download and install a special SVG plug-in (for the browser).

What do you think?

Best regards, Robert

Hi Harjo

To show SVG data in a browser, one needs to download and install a special SVG plug-in from Adobe (for the browser). Then it is possible for the browser to display SVG data. But this is also a major drawback, because if a user hasn’t installed the plug-in, she/he dowsn’t see anything :-(

Thanks, Robert

Hi Robert, I understand…

What do you think?

You might want to check out this site and see if you can create a SVG plugin for Servoy:

Hi Karel

That would be fun to program a SVG plug-in! Unfortunatly I have so many other things with higher priority to do that I think it will take quite a long time if I ever start to program a SVG plug-in - but, may be, someone with plug-in developing experience is going to do it :-)

Best regards, Robert

Use It2Be’s browser bean.
So long as the native browser has the SVG plugin, you should be good to go !!
