bounding box?

Hello,


I need to read a SVG file and check the size of all vector items together. Like the bounding box of all drawings to check if all fits into a certain area or not.

Can I do this with you classes?

Thank you!

Hi Doner!

The class is very helpfull to generated SVG.

You can make a for by all elements in SVG, and get it width and height.

But the class don't have a ready method to do what you want.

Regards.

Hello,

This is just a clarification to the answer of the question? When you say that the library cannot do what Donor asked, do you mean: it cannot import SVG files, or it cannot compute bounding boxed?

Also, I didn't see any classes representing Bézier curves. Is this correct?

The reason I am asking is because I am looking for a package to import an SVG file and convert it into php objects that can be manipulated in various way. This includes ways that SVG does not support, such as non-linear transformations.

Hi Orlin!

The class can import SVG files, they "transform" into php object in a hierarchy.

By default it cannot calculate the bounding box, but you can traverse all the objects and calcute it "manually".

But you can make what you want with the objects, its a php object change it like you wish.

Internally the classes use default php xml class, so it's very easy to change all behavior.

In next few weeks I will have to improve that libray. I receive a paid work to deal with SVG and I will use it, so the class will be very improved (like php 7.0 support).

Thanks for your comment.

Great. This looks promising! I will be looking foreword to the new changes. I will probably add quite a bit of functionality to the project to allow more complex geometric transformations and constructions.

One thing I am planning to do is use octave (http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/) as a rendering engine, without having to convert back to SVG. This opens very interesting possibilities for extending SVG functionality.
