[wxPython-users] ANN: wxpsvg, SVG rendering for wxPython

[Christopher Barker]

Chris,

Pretty cool!

I haven't looked at the code yet, but I'm hoping that you haven't 
married the parser and renderer too much. I really believe in separating 
functionality (call it MVC or whatever).

If nothing else, it would be nice to edit a drawing directly, rather 
than having to generate SVG, then render it.

I'm also wondering about the scaling part of SVG. Have you taken a look 
at wx.lib.FloatCanvas? I designed it before GraphicsContext, so it's 
totally DC based, but I'm hoping to update it to use Graphics context 
some day. In any case, it's designed to be the a widget for Viewing, 
well, scalable vector graphics, so it would be nice to tie it to SVG 
some day. Maybe you can get some ideas about how to handle zooming, 
scrolling, hit testing, etc from it.

If nothing else, it looks like you've got a great way to define features 
that wx.GraphicsContext needs.

Keep up the good work!

-Chris
