Not if you are talking about a circle, which was the example :) However, I get your point. This is a major reason why we started work on RCC (replaced by sXBL) a few years ago. We wanted to provide the highest possible level of semantics and accessibility in the document, and use SVG as a display/interaction layer. This is possible with <canvas> as well, but it is still the case that half of the model is inaccessible and semantically void (and to continue the rant, the <canvas> api doesn't really allow you to work out which part of the graphics needs updating, forcing you to either implement a dirty-region algorithm in each document, or redraw everything everytime). > I've created an rdf gui schema, at http://www.peepo.co.uk, > but it's still not clear to me how this could be used within SVG to > respond to queries. > > in fact it's got that bad that I had a morning nightmare recently, > imagining that all that redundant DNA code was RDF > the phenotype being SVG demonstrated as if you didn't know. so you can > see that my understanding at least is somewhat lacking ~:" > > do we have any working examples? Have you looked at sXBL? It's similar to RCC so you could download the Adobe v6 preview and play around. Dean
