IE DOM usage for SVG files

[UEZ]

Is it somehow possible to use SVGPathElement DOM interface to convert a SVG file to polygons within AutoIt?

• load a SVG file with AutoIt
• convert the SVG vectors to polygons using this interface
• export the polygons to a file

I don't know whether it works also for multi vectorized objects.

An example is here: http://phrogz.net/svg/convert_path_to_polygon.xhtml / http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8091983/convert-path-to-polygon / https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#InterfaceSVGPathElement

 

I've absolutely no experiences with this kind of stuff (you know it is not GDI+ ;-))

 

THANKS.

That bot picked you up quick.  You should make it repeat something like a giant ascii middle finger.

Well, I started to write a very simple SVG to GDI+ path converter but then I discovered that there are plenty of SVG formats and commands  -> I gave it up.

Is this project idea dead or on sabbatical?

As I learn more about SVG files I can't help but wish I could use them (converted to GDI+ or text copied into my scripts)

The draw here (for me) is to be able to make complex graphics without including a bunch of PNGs  / BMPs (or any)

The scale of this is beyond my skill but I am hopeful.

To share : I do have a shadow of a workaround - if you make simple SVGs one color (0x000000) and import them into Fontello and use them (with the Fontello font) like Wingdings in GDI+. The glyphs are completely scalable and I've gotten good results for some simple designs. You can make different parts of your image separately and merge them together as shapes (with different color fill / stroke) else each glyph is all the same color(s).
