Hello guys. By Casey's suggestion I am releasing this so people can begin playing with it.

My second attempt at writing an SVG importer, this time with Christian Reikoff's proXML. Everything is a lot cleaner and more stable, and it handles most shapes.

Compatibility is greatest when you use illustrator, since that was my testbed software.

It's still in -beta- so please test it and let me know what you think. Report all bugs to flux.blackcat -a- gmail -d- com with subject "Delicious Candy".

Gotcha. Here you go!!

I just use it because rar integrated with my OS context menu a bit better than Zip.

Here you go, you can add this!

Please let me know how I can improve this doc. It's mainly from the read-me.

Here's an example SVG that works.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 11.0, SVG Export Plug-In  -->
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN"    "http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd" [

</svg>

I'll try and see if I can get a hold of Illustrator CS 2 to see any differences, as a last resort. I have CS(1), so the difference shouldn't be too big.

I've updated the site to reflect a few things:
http://ghost-hack.com/p5/svgcandy/

Most importantly, the exact settings I've used to generate a readable svg for our importer. http://ghost-hack.com/p5/svgcandy/settings.jpg

Let me know if this helps.

BTW I don't remember seeing "optimize for Adobe SVG Viewer".
I appreciate the help testing

Strange.

Try re-downloading the proXML package. I know that Christian has updated the lib very recently (like, today). There was a bug in proXML that needed fixed before SVG import was fully functional, so that might be it. Lemme know if that works.

Ah. proXML is compiled for Java 1.5 I guess. I'll send an email to Mister Riekoff.

Well, I have good news. That was the problem and now the file Michael posted earlier is loading fine. I'm using CS 2 to export and the <g> tag is not a part of the file, despite trying many settings (including 1.0 vs 1.1 SVG). The files I'm exporting look like this:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 12.0.1, SVG Export Plug-In  -->
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd" [

<!ENTITY ns_flows "http://ns.adobe.com/Flows/1.0/">

<!ENTITY ns_svg "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

<!ENTITY ns_xlink "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
]>
<svg  version="1.1" xmlns="&ns_svg;" xmlns:xlink="&ns_xlink;" xmlns:a="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeSVGViewerExtensions/3.0/"

 width="272" height="174" viewBox="-0.937 -0.795 272 174" enable-background="new -0.937 -0.795 272 174" xml:space="preserve">
<defs>
</defs>
<rect x="15.409" y="15.409" fill="#FFFFFF" stroke="#000000" stroke-width="30.8183" width="170.079" height="141.732"/>
<line fill="none" stroke="#007FD4" stroke-width="30" x1="100.449" y1="86.275" x2="270.527" y2="86.275"/>
</svg> 

They won't draw, but if I manually put in the <g> tags surrounding the graphics and then save the file, they do draw. To be more compatible, I think the parser in Candy needs to not require <g>.

I haven't tried exporting in Inkscape to see what kind of files are made.

I have a problem with complex shapes. If a path element has more then one closed path then I got an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Array index out of range: 84
