For what its probably my last post for 2007 I leave you with a comparison of the current svg converter output versus the original svg source (using JideBuilder's svgIcon to render svg)



Because the code is quite large I won't display it here but you can get it from this link. The first icon is the converted svg, the second icon is the original svg. The next 3 icons show a PNG version of the svg image scaled with 3 different interpolation values like so
image( file: 'c:\\tmp\\groovy\\help-browser.png', asImage: true, id: 'png' ) image( image: png, x: 0, y: 140 ){ transformations{ scale( x:1.5, y: 1.5, interpolation: 'bicubic' ) } } image( image: png, x: 0, y: 200 ){ transformations{ scale( x:1.5, y: 1.5, interpolation: 'bilinear' ) } } image( image: png, x: 0, y: 260 ){ transformations{ scale( x:1.5, y: 1.5, interpolation: 'nearest' ) } }
It's worth mentioning that in order to get the converted svg some additions were made to GraphicsBuilder:

• transformations now allow a matrix() transformations (explained here and here).
• gradient stops support opacity

You may notice the conversion is not yet perfect, a shadow is missing and the inside of the question mark is not white.

Well, that's all for today and 2007, Happy New Year! have a Groovy one!
