lib-gwt-svg 0.5.5 availability

I am launching today lib-gwt-svg 0.5.5. The main highlight of this release is support for touch events. This version also fixes a few bugs and adds minor features I needed for my new project svgreal. The specifics is detailed in the release notes.

With regards to touch event support, here are the main points you […]

the svgreal SVG editor

I am launching todayan online app to edit SVG resources.

The (long term !) purpose of project svgreal is to let anyone with a browser open and edit any SVG resource locally or on the Internet. Real svg resources, not just svg resources originally created by svgreal itself. Users should be able to open multiple […]

On IE9, the XPath APIs are now supported. This is made […]

Availability of lib-gwt-svg 0.5.3 and other announcements

Hi,

Concomitantly to the release of GWT 2.4, I am releasing a new version of lib-gwt-svg (0.5.3). For a detailed list of changes, see the release notes. This new version, besides providing compatibility with GWT 2.4, provides improvements in two areas:

It supports SVG paint (colors, named colors, gradients, patterns) and dash-arrays by providing parsers […]

SVG paint and stroke

The SVG standard provides a complete API to deal with various forms of paint (rgb colors, named colors, linear gradients, patterns, …) and this API integrates tightly with the CSS APIs to provide programmatic access to the various characteristics of the paint. The dash-array CSS property can also be introspected with the same CSS APIs.

lib-gwt-svg 0.5.2 is available with IE9 compatibility

With the release of GWT 2.3.0, IE9 is now part of the browsers officially supported by GWT. Since IE9 has SVG support, I have updated lib-gwt-svg to take advantage of it. The samples have been migrated and most of them work, except for the usual SMIL animation which is not supported by IE9.

Actually the […]

Annoucement: lib-gwt-svg 0.5.1 availability and other miscellaneous changes

This post summarizes changes and new features to vectomatic and lib-gwt-svg.

lib-gwt-svg A new version 0.5.1 is introduced, to provide formal support for GWT2.2.0. It is mainly a bug-fix and improvement release, but it contains a large number of fixes (see the release notes for details). It is available through the usual channels: maven central […]

IE9 and lib-gwt-svg

A first (small) step has been made on the way towards running lib-gwt-svg apps into IE9. I have done some tests with the latest code available (called “platform preview 7”). The good news first: a few of the tabs in lib-gwt-svg-samples work, with the present unmodified code (version 0.5.0): shapes, events, features. This is encouraging […]

Performance improvements of GWT2.1 for long-based computations

The port of lib-gwt-svg-chess to GWT 2.1 has highlighted an interesting fact. The application makes heavy use of java longs, notably in the attack tables of the carballo chess engines. At the time the code was written, the time to initialize the attack tables turned out to be so long (around two and a half […]

More on CSS layout of SVG applications

lib-gwt-svg-samples and lib-gwt-svg-chess have been fully ported to GWT2.1 and I am releasing today these new versions. These applications were already working with GWT2.1 but they were still using deprecated classes for UI layout. They have been transposed to a 100% CSS-based, strict-mode layout, so the resizing should be faster and the layout more consistent […]
