Hi, Just a few questions about possible raster support with the SVG language: 1) Do you think it would be a good idea to allow the use of embedded raster images within a defined svg? In particularly, allowing the use of raster images as tiles, which could serve as textures/covers/etc. tiled onto existing vector graphics....this could also apply later on to 3d svg's. 2) Similarly, could people define texture maps for existing vector graphics, which could be used to add effects like rough paper, grass, stone, marble, etc. In general it seems like this could make for much richer possibilities for vector graphics, especially for applications such as logos and charts and graphs. 3) Would it be possible to allow developers to designate within the code GIFs and JPEGs to display in place of an svg of the web browser didn't support XML or vector graphics? It might help in quickening the adoption of vector graphics if there was a built in way to support older browsers. Seperately, would it be possible to define a standard set of possible gradients (rainbow, starburst, slight gradient, etc.) as well as the ability to define new gradients? ============================================================== = Justin Higgins Ph:(703) 642-2800x62 Fax:(703) 642-0261 = ==============================================================
