It's impossible to say for sure without knowing in more detail what you're trying to achieve, but my instinct would be to say no in any case--using animation features for something that has nothing to do with animation probably isn't a good idea, for performance reasons if nothing else. If you're simply trying to erase things, then why not just delete them from the SVG tree? If you're trying to implement some kind of undo/redo functionality, then perhaps the thing to do is to prune the nodes from the tree and hold them elsewhere in a document fragment node or something similar. >being new in this arena, can you point me to some resources for doing >transformations for a set of <line>s to a small number of bezier curves? > my platform is java batik. I'm afraid I can't help you much in that regard; it's not something I've ever had to do myself. If you do a Google search on "line smoothing" you'll get lots of good hits (along with lots of hits having to do with getting rid of facial wrinkles...).
