RE: lines to vectors, vectors to GIF, [was RE: Back to

Hi Joe,

 

I have been wanting to know how to run SVG in canvas anyhow. I experimented a few years ago and ran into security restrictions in the browser. Later someone told me they were doing it, and didn’t know what I was referring to with the security policy thing. Have been meaning to reopen that inquiry ever since, so perhaps now is the time!

 

Yes, Joe, if you can give me more pointers, I’d be delighted! I can always take a bunch of layers and smush into animated GIF in Photoshop. 

 

And Ken Stacey: thanks for the pointer about Screen to GIF – I suspected there would be things like that!

 

On the lines-to-vectors issue, I’m going to experiment a little more with Illustrator, Inkscape and SVG Edit to see if those things have more features than I realized.

 

Cheers

David

Hi David,

You run the SMIL in a canvas, and capture the canvas at preferred 
intervals. I can provide more details if you would like. I found the 
method (converting SVG to canvas) from a paper presented at a SVG 
conference several years ago. You get a series of PNGs but maybe canvas 
will do GIFs. Then you have to convert the GIFs into an animated GIF. We 
do all of this except in the last step we convert PNGs to video.
