A wxSVGFileDC is a device context onto which graphics and text can be drawn, and the output
|
|
produced as a vector file, in the SVG format (see http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/ ).
|
|
This format can be read by a range of programs, including a Netscape plugin (Adobe), full details at
|
|
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/SVG-Implementations.htm8
|
|
|
|
Vector formats may often be smaller than raster formats.
|
|
|
|
The intention behind wxSVGFileDC is that it can be used to produce a file corresponding
|
|
to the screen display context, wxDC, by passing the wxSVGFileDC as a parameter instead of a wxDC. Thus,
|
|
the wxSVGFileDC is a write-only class.
|
|
|
|
As the wxSVGFileDC is a vector format, raster operations like GetPixel are unlikely to be supported.
|
|
However, the SVG specification allows for PNG format raster files to be embedded in the SVG, and so
|
|
bitmaps, icons and blit operations into the wxSVGFileDC are supported.
|
|
|
|
A more substantial SVG library (for reading and writing) is available at
