Vector graphics

[Boogie]

Hi all,

I've started using Haru some time ago and I was wandering is there a
way to embed vector graphics (SVG file or any other format really) in
PDF created with Haru? I know that I can draw all shapes myself, but
it would be convenient to have an HPDF_LoadSvgImageFromFile() for
example. Or maybe there is another external project that can translate
vector image files to Haru function calls?

Thanks for answers,
Boogie

It's not possible at the moment, but if the PDF reference allows embedding
SVG graphics, it should be easy to add SVG support to libharu.
I'll take a look at the standard and see what I can do..

Thanks for quick reply.

I don't think that PDF supports SVG or other vector format natively...
But with a set of drawing functions that Haru provides it should be
easy to write VectorFormat -> PDF graphics converter. I thought of SVG
because it is free and open format for vector graphics (and Adobe was
a big supporter of it before they bought Macromedia with their Flash).
If embedding a vector format won't be possible probably I'll write a
converter of some sort if none exists at this moment.

Hi,

Did you find a solution for HPDF_LoadSvgImageFromFile () ...? Thank you!

Best regards!
