    <scribe> scribeNick: cyril
    <scribe> scribe: Cyril
    krit1: are we enough people to make decisions
    ed: I think so
modes of SVG in SVG Integration
    <krit1> [11]https://svgwg.org/specs/integration/
      [11] https://svgwg.org/specs/integration/
    krit1: the spec has different modes
    ... referencing modes for SVG
    ... do we need all of them ?
    ... only 2 seem relevant
    ... referencing for gradients, patterns
    ... for me the integration is more for security model and for
    how to use svg
    ... but doug would disagree with me
    ... we could have 2 modes: document mode and resource mode
    ... and have use cases
    ... we don't want to retrict browsers to activate/deactive
    scripts
    ... I have nothing against describing modes that can be used
    ... but not specifiying them
    ed: we should describe how browsers behave wrt loading of
    resources
    ... are you suggesting to add that to SVG integration spec or
    SVG 2
    krit1: integration
    ... we should have Doug to get an agreement
    ed: have you discussed it?
    krit1: we have an agreement that heycam and me would be editors
    ... but I'd like to have an agreement on the direction
    ed: discussion postponed until doug is present
scaling dash patterns and strokes
    ThomasSmailus: I think there is a need for having stroke
    patterns that don't change when the scale factor applies
    ... the pattern should stay the same
    ... currently if yo uzoom in or out the pattern changes
    Tav: I could see several behaviors
    ... the stroke stays the same
    ... the pattern stays the same
    nikos: do you want the whole pattern to be rendered in screen
    space
    ThomasSmailus: yes
    ... eg on a rail road map, if you zoom on it, the pattern
    should stay the same
    Tav: I would think that vector effect with non scaling stroke
    should do that
    ThomasSmailus: that does no't seem to be the case in the
    example
    <ed> [12]http://jsfiddle.net/akvzh/4/
      [12] http://jsfiddle.net/akvzh/4/
    Tav: it's weird when you scale up the pattenr gets smaller
    ... is there a case where the stroke would change width but the
    dash pattern stays fixed
    ... if not we specify that if the width is not changing then
    the dash pattern should not change
    ... we should make it clearer in the spec
    krit1: that's not what browsers or Adobe Illustrator does
    Tav: that does not make sense to me how it behaves now
    krit1: if you zoom the width may not change but the length and
    the dash array changes
    ThomasSmailus: I guess I would want a non scaling dash pattern
    nikos: that would apply to hatches I think too
    ThomasSmailus: yes you can see hatches as a 2D dash array
    nikos: from what I've been told, PDF is also trying to fix that
    but it's not easy
    <nikos> WebCGM and CGM supports this
    krit1: some computations are not easy, Illustrator is doing the
    same thing as browsers by accident because the current
    libraries don't offer the right tools for that
    ed: how do we proceed, add a new property ?
    krit1: I think it's an implementation issue
    nikos: I would need to see how it behaves
    Tav: it's a very important property
    nikos: agreed
    ed: does someone wants to investigate more
    krit1: it's enough to implement with Canvas, browsers don't add
    more magic
    ... thomas do you have resources for that
    ThomasSmailus: not at the moment
    Tav: I could try and implement it in Inkscape but not the in a
    month
    Issue: investigate possible implementation issues around dash
    array patterns
    <trackbot> Error creating an ISSUE: an internal error occurred.
    Please mail <sysreq@w3.org> with details about what happened.
    ThomasSmailus: CGM has support for that
    nikos: and WebCGM too
    <nikos> [13]http://www.w3.org/Graphics/WebCGM/
      [13] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/WebCGM/
    ThomasSmailus: if we figure out how they do it
    ... that would give us an implementation
    ... but is it just an implementation aspect or does it need to
    be specified differentyl
    nikos: can you specify a different coordinate space when you
    specify a hatch or pattern
    ... would using 'screen' be enough ?
    cyril: looks like constrained transform
    krit1: that's a different topic
    ... it would be possible for patterns but for lines it's
    different
    nikos: I think patterns are the important case
    ThomasSmailus: for me the more important case is dashed lines
    krit1: parsers don't have control over the dash array
    ... you could solve it by transforming the path into the right
    coordinate space
    ... need to think about it
    <ed> ISSUE-2451?
    <trackbot> ISSUE-2451 -- Investigate implementability of
    non-scaling dash array patterns -- raised
    <trackbot>
    [14]http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2451
      [14] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2451
    ed: postponed until someone has the time investigate further
hit testing svg root
    ed: doug is not here
location and dates for 2014 Q1 F2F
    cyril: Sydney !

    krit1: do we have a schedule for the whole year ?
    ... it's better for the budget
    ed: next one is TPAC
    ... then february
    ... most people suggest 3 or 4 meeting per year
    3 or 4 days each
    cyril: I can host in Paris if you want
    Tav: nice to be in a reasonable time zone
    ed: would be fine in Seattle if it is next to the CSS meeting
    <richardschwerdtfeger> +1
    ed: 3 days of meeting between 29 and 31st
    krit1: I will discuss it in the CSS WG
    RESOLUTION: SVG WG will meet in Seattle between the 29 and the
    31st of January 2014
    suggestions for other meetings ?
    ed: suggestions for other meetings ?
    ... we have several companies willing to host
    ... Hachette offered to host too
    nikos: Canon can host in Tokyo if we want to go there again
    cyril: we need to look at the dates of the Libre Graphics
    and/or The Graphical Web
    <scribe> ACTION: ed to discuss with heycam and send suggestion
    dates or questionnaire for the next few meetings in 2014
    [recorded in
    [16]http://www.w3.org/2013/09/26-svg-minutes.html#action01]
    <trackbot> Created ACTION-3531 - Discuss with heycam and send
    suggestion dates or questionnaire for the next few meetings in
    2014 [on Erik Dahlström - due 2013-10-03].
    ed: reminder the daylight saving time shift will happen soon
    <ed> [17]http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2013b.html
      [17] http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2013b.html
    ed: please check your emails and use the link
    ... we will change after TPAC
    krit1: Chris says he is fine with meetings in the evening but
    before 10pm
    cyril: we could look at scheduling the meetings in the evening
    in West coast, afternoon in Australia, and morning in Europe
    ... the only problem is East Coast
    ... don't know if for who it would be a problem
    Tav: we have to pick a time for Japan
    <scribe> ACTION: ed to create a questionnaire to setup the new
    telcon time [recorded in
    [18]http://www.w3.org/2013/09/26-svg-minutes.html#action02]
    <trackbot> Created ACTION-3532 - Create a questionnaire to
    setup the new telcon time [on Erik Dahlström - due 2013-10-03].
    nikos: weighted questionnaire to favor people who suffered in
    the past
    krit1: will have agenda items on filters next week
CSS new API for shapes
    krit1: it might be of interest to the group
    cyril: do you have a link to a WD
    krit1: no, soon DOM Matrix and CSS OM view will be merged
    ... the geometry APIs of them
    ... I would like the members to look at them and comment if
    possible on www-style
    <krit1>
    [19]http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/#the-domrect-and-domrect
    immutable-interfaces
      [19] http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/#the-domrect-and-domrectimmutable-interfaces
    krit1: the only problem I see so far is that CSS uses top/left
    ... and we would need x and y
    ... I'm not sure what is the best solution
    ... we might discuss that at TPAC
    ed: all browsers have to deal with x,y anyway and not onyl
    topleft
    ... I don't think that's such a big problem
    ... but we should raise the issue
