SVG Has Landed

Posted by Dave Hyatt on Saturday, December 17th, 2005 at 4:41 pm

SVG has now been enabled by default in nightly builds. This version of SVG is integrated with the WebCore DOM, which means you can now mix SVG and HTML in an XML document, style them with a common CSS file, etc.. We encourage you to download the nightlies, write test cases and file some bugs to help us really hammer out our compound document support!

    What level of SVG does this support add?

    Ah, ignore me, I should have realised you were integrating KSVG (there4 SVG 1.1).

    Ever since you’ve enable SVG by default all the computer systems I test webkit on, with my normal array of sites, beachball out of control and crash constantly… This morning I took a powerbook and loaded theregister.com and it started beachballing, I decided to let it sit…. 6 hours later i returned to Webkit still beachballing… I think this has something to do with adding SVG into the main webkit body, I would seriously consider removing SVG code until you can fix stability ;-)

    courtfkizer: You’re missing the point of having it integrated. SVG is the next big step for WebKit development, so it needs as much attention as possible to ensure that it plays well with the rest of Webkit. The best way to ensure that it gets this attention is to integrate it into mainstream Webkit development so that developers can’t just ignore it and work on other components until this one is reasonably stable. ;)

    Anyway, it’s not as if these nightly builds are intended for normal use; that’s what Apple’s release builds are for. WebKit has advanced by leaps and bounds since the development process opened up, and the many improvements introduced are -still- trickling into Apple’s releases. When it finally comes time to send SVG down that path, it will be because the SVG-ified WebKit is stable once again. Understandably this is something of a pain for testers in the meantime but remember, it’s all in the interest of progress.

    I don’t think SVG affects stability of normal HTML browsing. But if you run into any crashes or hangs, especially if they are regressions, please file bugs to let us know! http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org

  12. Trackback from SanBaldo:

    php, xml, xsl to dynamic SVG

    1. draw an stats bar with InkScape
    2. save your web stats to XML
    3. create an XSL to transform XML to SVG image
    4. create php script to make the server transformation (more here)
