SVG Imports

Hi,
I have made some vector graphics with gradient fills on Illustrator and saved them as SVG's.

They do not load when I use the PShape function.
Either they don't appear or they are filled in black.

Graphics without a gradient fill work fine.

If anyone knows if it is impossible/possible to get Processing to show my gradients please let me know.

Thanks for your time,
Sketchy.

I experienced recently some problems when loading SVG through SVG built-in library i.e. through PShape loadShape().
(see processing.org/discourse/yabb2/num_1239903063_.html

I never experienced gradient but give a try to Georemative library
www.ricardmarxer.com/geomerative/

Hope this help,

Paul

thanks for your answer...however geomerative does not seem to be able to handle gradients. when i try to run:

Code:

/*
*    geomerative example
*    
*
*    fjenett 20080417
*/

import geomerative.*;

RSVG svg;

void setup()
{
    size(800,800);
    frameRate( 30 );
    
    RG.init(this);
    
    svg = new RSVG( );
}

void draw()
{
    background(255);
    svg.draw("bgtestgradient.svg");
}


i get "Element 'lineargradient' not know. Ignoring it." as an error message. as before, all i get to see is a black image.

I believe that gradients just plain old aren't supported. The SVG library supports many features, but not all unfortunately.
