[TW5] SVG Files Creatin and Importation

[TonyM]

Folks,

SVG is a great format for Vector graphics in TiddlyWiki.

However it looks that externally generated or edited SVG files do not import without changes.

Can anyone point me to what I need to do introduce new or edited SVG files to TiddlyWiki.

I am currently editing an existing icon for a new button, but I would like to import any SVG file I make.

I was not very successful hacking existing icons.

Thanks in Advance
Tony

Hi Tony,

First take a look at the svg in tiddlywiki. You will find that they are not complete SVG image documents; it is fragment of a HTML document. They do not have the type image/svg+xml.
It is not easy to get results with all icons.

Thanks Birthe,

Yes, I have had a close look, Trying to copy path values and more. I Imagine Jeremy or someone knows the difference or limitations between a TiddlyWIki svg and a standard one. I would hope there is a translation process.

I can actual generate some from some apps that work, but I am keen to transform an existing one with substantial edits and save.

Let us see what we get.

I store my .svg in drop box and then serve to my tiddlywiki using either pancake.io or updog.co
