Tahr 6.0.2 svg wrapper

[Geoffrey]

There is a problem with viewing images wrapped with a svg, this code should work,

Code: Select all

<svg width="640" height="480">
   <image xlink:href="./goofy.16.png"
   width="640" height="480" />
   <text x="50%" y="50%"
	  style="text-anchor: middle; fill: #000000; font-weight: bold; font-family: serif; font-size: 30px;">
       You Should See a png image behind this text     
</text>
</svg> 

save as test.svg, if run in /usr/share/backgounds then goofy.16.png should show behind the text using a image viewer, this should also work with gtkdialog

Code: Select all

<pixmap><input file>/path/to/test.svg</input></pixmap>

but don't, I can however convert to a pdf which shows the png using this code

Code: Select all

rsvg-convert -f pdf -o test.pdf test.svg

I came across this when trying to run a application I've been working on which works in other pups.

I've tried it in racy and slacko, it dont show in the image viewers so I may be on the wrong track, but it does show in slacko and racy gtkdialog with this code

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
export test='
<window>
 <vbox>
    <pixmap>
    <input file>./test.svg</input>
    </pixmap>
 </vbox>
</window>'
gtkdialog --program=test

I'll continue to try and track down the culprate.

I can't find any clues to the problem, but I can work around it with rsvg, so it's not urgent.

Everything is fine as long as you use absolute paths for your image. Relative paths seem to work only in browsers. Inkscape has the same limitation. Hardly a "bug", and definitely not a Tahr issue.
