XUL + SVG: A quick demo

For a while I’ve been thinking about a desire to add SVG graphics to XUL Widgets. You might wonder why anyone would want to do that

. My answer: SVG, like XUL, is XML markup. Verbosio will be able to edit XML. So it’ll be able to edit SVG and XUL. Why not?

One drawback: the SVG is included inline in the document, not as an external file. This is somewhat unavoidable, and violates the niceties of multiple skins in a XUL package. (XUL skins can’t have .xul files in them, and this has to be inline or inserted via overlay.) So I’m wondering if there’s a better way to do this.

  2. An answer other than “Why not?” is the possibility of exploring such ideas as seamlessly mixing graphics and text and images. For example, in this screenshot

    we see how a textual spreadsheet-like formula is linked to a map through a line. Maps, normally shown as dead images, now carry semantics and support computations. The distance on the map needs not be named by a variable as in conventional programming languages; it can simply be linked from the map to wherever it is used.

  3. This may sound silly since I don’t know XUL at all, but… XSLT?
    (From Alex: Sorry, this is pretty useless for a chrome application. 🙂 )

  4. Well this sounds like Bug #231179 (SVG images in CSS) which realy would rock if it would be implemeneted. 😉
    (From Alex: Yep, only I’m cheating by not trying to load it as an image per se.)

  5. I love this mixing of XML languages. My special interest is XForms: XForms+XHTML or XForms+SVG or XForms+XUL+SVG, etc. — it’s all XML, and you can do so many interesting things when mixing it.

  6. Clicking on svg in a menu or button doesn’t fire oncommand, so it’s not usable yet.
    (From Alex: That’s not the point. The SVG is just artwork, and if I write the bindings right, it won’t matter – the oncommand will still fire.)
