problem dynamically adding svg

[david_bigd42]

Here is my problem. I have a static svg file, and at various times i
will need to add additional svg to this document. I can do this for a
small number of elements with no problem via the createElementNS,
setAttribute, and appendChild methods. But now i need to add a few
thousand elements at a time.

I use and xmlhttp (ajax) transfer to get the new svg. The server
returns valid svg, and when i try to append the xmlhttp.responseXML to
the svg document, i get a type mismatch error thrown.

Any ideas?

in which SVG viewer/implementation?
 
ASV and Batik, e.g. don't support XMLHttpRequest. They support
getURL(). In order to support all of the viewers you must fork your
code and see which method is available. You can write a helper
object or function for this.
 
http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/resources/helper_functions.js e.g.
has a getXMLData object that you could use for that purpose.
 
In order to use it, you can write the following code:
 
var myGetXMLObj = new getXMLData(url,callBackFunction);
myGetXMLObj.getData();
 
You get back a ready to use XML node that you can either append to
the DOM (if SVG compatible) or parse per script.
 
I don't know how well it works with thousands of elements. Many of
the current SVG viewers might not be fast enough to process huge
amounts of data.

I try this method to add widgets on user request .... but
* objects are not draw ...
* I cannot acceed objects to modify properties
* objects are in DOM ( DOM inspector ) but URI for namespace is empty

How give svg namespace and see this objects?

Michel

PS I know that I can load this widgets at begining and show/hide
them ... but as I have complicated widgets as filesystem or more ...
I prefer load them on request and remove them after using

I find a solution if objects are in svg with complete header
<svg version="1.1"
     baseProfile="full"
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
     xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
     xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events"
....
objects
</svg>

Objects are draw and have correct URI for namespace in DOM Inspector

but it's heavy solution for single object to add ....

Hi Michel,
 
see
 
http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/geturlxmlhttprequest/index.svg 
 
for a very simple example.
 
The corresponding php code looks like follows:
 
<?php
header('Content-type: text/xml');
$currentY = $_GET['currentY'];
print '<g xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">'."\n";
print "\t".'<text x="50" y="'.$currentY.'" font-size="15">'.date("M
d Y H:i:s",time()).'</text>';
print "</g>\n";
?>
 
--------
 
it is important that the group that is appended has the xmlns
attrribute set to svg, if you add svg directly.
 
Also, note the "content-type" header, which should be provided.
Although it is my believe that this is not necessary if you use my
object, since I use the line
this.xmlRequest.overrideMimeType("text/xml"); to override whatever
the server sends as content-type (don't know if that actually really
works?).
 
All the best,
Andreas

Thanks for input

A last problem with FF, how print svg with text?
I try font-size="10", font-size="10px" ... and I get very too big
letters ....

I post sudoku game runing with FF1.5, ASV3 and ASV6 beta
http://pilat.ouvaton.org/sudoku/sudoku.svg?l=english

Default language is french
http://pilat.ouvaton.org/sudoku/sudoku.svg

Thanks to
Jim (for getURL and postURL emulations)
Andreas (for getXMLData to load widgets)
and others ... FF fans

Hi Michel,

I am not a Mozilla SVG developer and don't have a fix for you, but can
confirm the problem with font-sizes when printing on Windows, as to
the following document:

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/SVG_in_Firefox_1.5

"Currently printing is unfortunately not done using the vector
properties of SVG to generate extremely crisp output, but instead
rendered at screen resolution and then output as an image.

Font sizes when printing on MS-Windows will be much larger than
specified for SVG."
