Problem with SVG
Feb 9th, 2010, 4:33am  
hey! I'm making a program that generates a background for business cards and i've set all the type work on illustrator, exported a PDF with the guides, opened the PDF in ilustrator and saved it as a SVG so i would use it as a "top layer" in the card generator. The problem is the program runs and it sets the background but the type SVG doesn't load and i get a message saying " ignoring <clipPath> tag"

is it because when exported the pdf does all those weird cliping masks?

Probably.
The SVG library in Processing isn't bad, but has limitations (SVG is hard to render!).

so, i've solved the problem by simplifying the SVG. now i have other question,

Is it possible to make a Class function in a PGraphic? i mean... i have the class all set up and to call it i just make f1.desenhar();

is it possible to do somethin like;
grafico.beginDraw();
grafico.f1.desenhar();
grafico.endDraw();

?
coz i'm not being able to do this

It is probably simpler to change the sequence to:
grafico.beginDraw();
f1.desenhar(grafico);
grafico.endDraw();
and in desenhar(), use the passed graphico PGraphics to draw on it.
