Hello www-svg, ISSUE-2121 The SVG WG agree to your suggestion below, and have removed the reference to elliptical arcs as you suggest. Please let us know shortly if this satisfies your comment. > 8. Elliptical arcs still referred to in minimize section [MINIMIZE] > > Current wording: > > SVG's path data definition was defined to produce a compact data > stream for vector graphics data: all commands are one character in > length; relative coordinates are available; separator characters do > not have to be supplied when tokens can be identified implicitly; > smooth curve formulations are available (cubic Béziers, quadratic > Béziers and elliptical arcs) to prevent the need to tessellate into > polylines; and shortcut formulations exist for common forms of cubic > Bézier segments, quadratic Bézier segments, and horizontal and > vertical straight line segments so that the minimum number of > coordinates need to be specified. > > But arcs aren't available in this particular profile. Suggestion is to > remove this particular item resulting in: > > SVG's path data definition was defined to produce a compact data > stream for vector graphics data: all commands are one character in > length; relative coordinates are available; separator characters do > not have to be supplied when tokens can be identified implicitly; > smooth curve formulations are available (cubic Béziers and quadratic > Béziers) to prevent the need to tessellate into polylines; and > shortcut formulations exist for common forms of cubic Bézier segments, > quadratic Bézier segments, and horizontal and vertical straight line > segments so that the minimum number of coordinates need to be > specified. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Technical Director, Interaction Domain W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
