need some criticized input please.

@cvp ya you are creating the opacity programaticaly (if thats the right term here lol ) where in my image it is solid where it should have a 50% alpha that i set in third party editor.

[cvp]

@stephen I don't know anything about it but it is only to show that WebView supports opacity in static svg...

[cvp]

@stephen how are sure that your file test-svg.svg is half transparent?

[stephen]

gotcha thank you @cvp 🙃

[cvp]

@stephen sorry, I don't understand What you mean

[stephen]

@cvp
its ok buddy i had done some research before (you probably know by now how i love research lol) and i couldnt find a way to use svg in scene. im sure there is an objc way but im not familier enough there lol

[cvp]

@stephen I just found that WebView supports animated svg, try this

import os
import ui

w = ui.WebView()
w.frame = (0,0,500,500)
#fpath = os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/svg-test.svg')
#w.load_url('file://'+fpath)
html = '''
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 800 300">
    <rect class="mouse" x="0" y="0" width="800" height="300"/>
    <polygon class="diamondTu tulip" points="400, 280, 310, 150, 400, 20, 490, 150"/>
    <style>
        .mouse { fill: #E5E4E3; }
        .tulip { fill: #CC2954; }
        .diamondTu {
            animation-name: diamondTurns;
            animation-duration: 4s;
            animation-iteration-count: infinite;
            transform-origin: 50% 50%;
        }
        @keyframes diamondTurns {
            0%   { transform: rotate(0deg); }
            50%  { transform: rotate(-90deg); }
            100% { transform: rotate(0deg); }
        }
    </style>
</svg
'''
w.load_html(html)
w.present('sheet')

#with ui.ImageContext(w.width, w.height) as ctx:
#	w.draw_snapshot()
#	ui_image = ctx.get_image()
#	ui_image.show()

@stephen said:

I think that I had read that SKTexture does not support svg 😢

[cvp]

@stephen Perhpas could you use Shader, as here (try it)

@cvp haha thats pretty awesome! i should look into shaders im sure some post processing will do some good haha

[cvp]

@stephen yes, but no so easy, one language more to learn , I become too old for this stuff 😢

[cvp]

@stephen You only 🙄 need to (find a tool to) convert SVG into GLSL language of Shader

[stephen]

@cvp
never too old 😊 ive been tryingbto familierise myself with as many as i can. so far i have worked with:

• C# .net
• C
• C++
• java
• java script
• unreal script (language died)
• html
• css
• php
• sourceScript (Wraps C++ for source engine by valve)
• python

and currently objc, first through objc_utils then ObjC its self.
next will be gfx shaders

c# i got pretty well in tuned with but the rest i could use some more learning. i did notice they all, for the most part, are extremly close to eachother just dif rules

[cvp]

@stephen I've worked during 40 years at IBM, mainly on main frame, thus a lot of languages but not the same as you, like Assembler, FORTRAN, COBOL, PL/1, APL, ... before Basic, VB, C, C++ and I surely forget some...

[stephen]

@cvp thats awesome! all my study has been for recreational game development. mever had career writing
