GraphicsBuilder: a taste of things to come

Posted by: Andres Almiray on December 30, 2007

The following is a teaser of what will be available in GraphicsBuilder 0.4.4



The Javatm logo? What's the big deal, you could have drawn that with an image() call right? What if I told you that that is not an image but a series of shape operations, whose original source comes from http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2e/Java_Logo.svg ...

Yup, SVG support is coming :-D

So far all SVG path and shape operations are handled, text has issues with <tspan> (in other words you won't see a thing) and references are not taken into account. The SVG standard is huuuge, making a complete svg -> groovy converter will take some time (and I don't think its really feasible).

Keep on Groovying!

Update: here is a link to the groovy code used to create the logo.
