Hi,
1)i've defined some custom figures with SVG images for my editor. Could
someone explain, what could be the advantages/disadvantages using SVG
instead of the Draw2D Polygon, Rectangle etc.?
2) Considering I've created these SVG images for my Nodes, is it
possible to use them for the palette and the popup menu?
I've tried to set the Path to the SVG-file in the gmftool but i get an
SWT error, because the format is not known.
3) When i create the FIRST diagram and try to add a new element with an
SVG image for the FIRST time, it takes 1-2 seconds before it is
displayed. Shortly before being properly displayed there is a red cross.
Is it possible to solve this?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello!
1)
Pros:
- SVG is a feature-rich format; check filters for example
- It's possible to edit SVG in convenient editors (Inkscape, GIMP)
- You may use CSS to provide common look and feel
- SVG figures may be used in other parts of your project - like
documentation
Cons:
- SVG will require more computer resources to render
- GMF provides rather simple support for SVG but we are working on this
Summary: If your figures are simple shapes (you design something like
class diagram) then SVG currently is overkill; if you have a diagram
spec in SVG or need special visual effects then you could consider using
SVG.
2) Could you submit a request to bugzilla? We could expose
RenderedImageDescriptor I guess.
3) This happens because SVG document is being loaded asynchronously;
hopefully this could be made an option.

Hi,
thanks for your answer!
"2) Could you submit a request to bugzilla? We could expose

Hmm, not sure if I know how to do this. I'll try.
Thanks,
Daniel
