Geomerative and SVG

Contributed Library Questions

Hi.

I'm missing something with Geomerative.

This is a GREAT library but I miss a lot a good tutorial.

All definitions (shapes, groups, children, etc.) confuse me and cannot get the whole view of it.

I load a SVG created with Inkscape.

There are only a few bezier curves (simple, not composite).

I would like to find the 4 points for each curve (end points+control points) for further elaboration.

I hoped to read the number of children and then use this number to iterate for each bezier, but it is always 1.

Do I need to parse the SVG or is there a smarter way to do it using Geomerative?

Thanks in advance

Alex

It all depends on the actual SVG. Try getting the children of that first child.

If that doesn't work let's have a look at the SVG file you created.

About the tutorials, yes there could definetly be more of them. However I don't have time to work on that at the moment. Contributions are very welcome!

You are right Ricard.

The single "child" has 4 children, each being the bezier I was searching for.

for (int i=0; i<shapeX.children[0].countChildren(); i++) {
shapeX.children[0].children[i].draw();
}

works now perfectly.

Thank you!

I will do my best to find my way in this impressive library. It is definitely worth!
