Changing color of a graphic
May 17th, 2009, 7:12am  
so, i tried to search for it, but didn't found anything! what i want to know is if it's possible to import a SVG graphic and then change its color in processing, or make it randomly generated?

I have to say, it seems like processing's support for SVG is pretty poor. I tried using an svg that contained an ellipse, and processing said that shape wasn't supported.

anyone else have issues with this?

i loaded an svg i downloaded somewhere and had some similar problems, it says some kind of circle is not supported, maybe thats the same. But i never had problems with any svg i made myself. But sure, there is always room for improvements.

SVG is a very complex standard, it is hard to support it completely, even in the basic version. I find the current implementation already awesome!
Now, there is room for improvement, the error you probably got means, IIRC, the arc primitive isn't supported yet. It waits for somebody, one of the authors or somebody else with knowledge and free time, to implement it.
Meanwhile, we have to live with the implementation. Or use something like Batik, which weights several MB!
