I need to display some interactive (attaching with DOM listeners etc. and event handling) vector graphics in web site I am working on. There is a W3C recommendation for SVG though this format is still not recognized by Internet Explorer support of which is a must (for a public website). IE handles VML though and there are even javascript...
While working on SVG implementation for Internet Explorer to be based on its own VML format I came to a problem of translation of an SVG elliptical arc to an VML elliptical arc. In VML an arc is given by: two angles for two points on ellipse and lengths of radiuses, In SVG an arc is given by: two pairs of coordinates for two points on e...
I spent ages learning VML and creating charts for a website once, but since VML only works in Internet Explorer, it's not much good these days. I notice stackoverflow has graphs on my profile page, under 'reputation', but I wasnt able to see how they did it. Can anyone suggest a way to create client-side charts or diagrams, that work i...
How do I draw procedural graphics in a Vista Sidebar gadget? I have a gadget that collects data over time and I want to draw animating graphs. My current approach is to draw the graph with VML that I update from JScript on a timer tick. Is this the best way? Can I return bitmap bits from a DLL function as the srouce to an <IMG>? E...
What are my options for rendering graphics encoded by Java2D to vector graphics formats such as EPS, SWF, SVG, VML, PDF and others I might not have heard of yet with open source libraries? Batik is the most widely-used library for rendering SVG. What other options are there? iText is widely used for rendering PDF. Is there something le...
Is there a way in C# / .NET to render VML into a bitmap? I'm thinking this should be really easy, but I can't seem to find anything like this in the .NET docs. ...
I'm writing a bit of javascript and need to choose between SVG or VML (or both, or something else, it's a weird world). Whilst I know that for now that only IE supports VML, I'd much rather detect functionality than platform. SVG appears to have a few properties which you can go for: window.SVGAngle for example. Is this the best way to...
I've been looking for a long time for a way to have a bitmap from a VML document. In fact, I working on a few libs that use the tag, so I have no problem for anything except for IE (of course) because I'm using ExCanvas in IE, but I'd like to have a bitmap from the generated "canvas" (which is in fact VML). I've been looking for a few ...
I'm writing a plugin for jQuery. Turns out that in order to use it a page HTML must containt the following code <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"> <head> <?import namespace="v" im...
Just wondering if anybody has come across a tool or anything to make the process easier of converting VML to SVG or some other modern format (Silverlight, flash). I'm dealing with some legacy VML browser renderings and I'd like to make it cross browser compatible. Right now the vml is being generated on the server side. Would also be ...
Hi Guys, Has anybody here come across a good tutorial or a reference on VML? ...
I'm using the JRC (jQuery Rounded Corners) plugin for rounded corners. It works in almost all browsers (including the crappy IE6) except IE8. Is there any workaround for the newest sh** from MS? Thanks ...
Excanvas.js allows IE to work with the canvas tag, but the getImageData method is not supported. Is there any way at all to get the value of a specified pixel in IE (img or VML or whatever other ways bitmaps from a server can be displayed in IE)? I'm assuming there's not. I'm trying to get rid of a server hit to improve responsiveness ...
I just see some awesome affect at Advanced 3D Animations and Transitions that can work with IE6+, FF 3+, Safari 3+ and Opera 8+. They use framework that can create VML(or IE CSS Filter) based on browser. This framework idea quite like to Raphaël—JavaScript Library. But I found some syntax that should be unique style. Because they creat...
I found the following in a previous post but need some help with it: // For VML detection, here's what google maps does (search for "function Xd"): function supportsVml() { if (typeof supportsVml.supported == "undefined") { var a = document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('div')); a.innerHTML = '<v:shape id="vml_fl...
Can I have such effect in HTML without using an image? The text should be editable with this effect. ...
Hello, I've been successfully using dojox.gfx with SVG renderer to render my graphics in a browser-independent way. I know that on of the main reasons why SVG-style filters have not been implemented in dojox.gfx is because they are not part of the Canvas and VML specification. What I am trying to achieve is apply some effects to my d...
For example: <v:roundrect style="display:block;width:100px;height:100px;" fillcolor="#eee"> Hi <v:roundrect style="display:block;width:50px;height:50px;" fillcolor="#c00"> Hey </v:roundrect> </v:roundrect> I can't see the background of the inner roundrect when I use this markup. Any ideas? ...
i have svg file <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xml:space="preserve" width="200px" height="" style="shape-rendering:geometricPrecision; text-rendering:geometricPrecision; image-rendering:optimizeQuality; fill-rule:evenodd; clip-rule:evenodd" viewBox="0 0 69.1341 93.4405" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/...
I don't know anything about VML except that Internet Explorer and other Microsoft products use it and that it is a vector graphics format. Can one use XSLT to transform an SVG document to VML? Or are they too different from one another to make this possible? I know that there exist XSLT documents to transform SVG to XAML. ...
