Re: interface for creating SVG animations in Inkscape

Hi John,

We built a system that animates photographs using SVG. We started with 
SMIL but moved over to javascript. I would probably do it the same way, 
if I was starting over. SMIL is rather automatic. Yet, we moved to 
javascript to get more control. SVG has three basic movements, move, 
scale, and rotate. The combination of those SMIL movements work 
differently from browser to browser. In SMIL, it is hard to initialize 
the animation, and it seems that scale needs to be a child of move and 
rotate. On the other hand, if you are new to SVG, SMIL is a fast way to 
get some things functional.

SVG should be the preferred user interface. It is rather easy to use, 
and it provides far more function than HTML.

Best Regards,
Joe
