Yeah, I wasn’t really suggesting for that to be taken verbatim, just that “that’s the kind of effect I want to be able to achieve in some way”. Figma’s “vector networks” look really neat, definitely a step in the right direction in my opinion. Although, I wonder how one would go about representing them. Like, with SVG paths, since they are linear, it’s easy to use a chain of instructions (in string form) to be able to represent them. However, with vector networks as described, one would need to be able to represent tree‐like (or perhaps even graph‐like) structures, and that’s much more complicated. (Not even accounting for the “fill hole punching” feature.) I also would expect that being able to “join a line at the middle of a curve” would be useful, but it’s not mentioned in the linked post. Thanks for the insightful comment, that’s definitely an interesting thing to think about! Also, I think it’s worth noting that I think the solution needs to somehow work and incorporate well with existing SVG features in order to be appealing. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Zambonifofex Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/754#issuecomment-557413126 using your GitHub account
