# haxe-ui
  • o
    It is not full svg
  • o
    would only work for basic paths really but you could cache as image to build
  • b
    yeah, i have a note to check it out... but i have a concern about how heavy / complex it might be (though i have no actual info about that) and how easily it would be to integrate
  • o
  • b
    With SVG you can also draw :P drawLine generates a SVG line. I am just thinking about how to prevent the basic HTML canvas from being used in the html target.
  • o
    currently the thickness gradient can't be used on canvas
  • o
    it's just too tricky really
  • o
    technically
  • b
    i get that, and maybe the implementation of canvas under the hood on some backends could be svg
  • o
    not thickness but having a gradient on that.
  • b
    i guess the question is, is can svg do everything that you would want from a canvas component in haxeui?
  • b
    Sry xD sometimes my brain is like garbage
  • b
    if it can, its a good move and defo simplifies implementation for alot of backends
  • o
    no you need images
  • o
    as well
  • b
    svg cant display images?
  • b
    svgs supports images? I can embed images in svg?
  • o
    well technically if you draw them from triangles like I do, the problem is that the way shaders differ on haxe toolkits means quite a mess.
  • b
    you can display images inside svgs
  • b
    Copy code
    xml
      <svg width="500" height="350">
         <defs>
            <clipPath id="myCircle">
               <circle cx="250" cy="145" r="125" fill="#FFFFFF" />
            </clipPath>
         </defs>
         <image width="500" height="350" xlink:href="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/videotutorials/images/coding_ground_home.jpg" clip-path="url(#myCircle)" />
      </svg>

    I was talking about low level implementation. but if all libraries supply svg then I guess
  • b
    so, lublak, i take your point... rather than having a haxeui canvas implement an svg, it sounds like it would make more sense to have svg implement a haxeui canvas
  • b
    will greatly simplify the impl on some backends (that natively support svg)
  • o
    svg it's self is very verbose and fxg and xaml
  • o
    swf format is much more optimal for complex images. Basically full SVG is too complex for optimum graphics I suspect
  • o
    there is tinySVG but it's not tiny!
  • b
    i would assume an swf lib wouldnt be simple either though
  • o
    I think Hugh put a lot of effort into NME svg.
  • b
    the point, as lublak correctly points out, is that alot of backends are going to natively support svg, and if haxeui is trying to create a canvas component its going to be, in essence recreating an svg lib, and likely creating one much worse than native impl's (if available)
  • b
    it can do everything if it is not 3d i think. And of course drawing individual pixels is also rather difficult. But any shape should be possible with it.
