Visio vectorial graphics

Post by jcottin2865 » Fri Jul 06, 2007 10:34 am

Hi everybody,

I've got 2 questions about vectorial graphics under Rev.
1. Is it possible to get 2D vectorial graphics from other apps (seeVisio, for example) into Revolution?

2. I'm searching for a way to perform a zoom in (or out) on some 2D vectorial complex graphics (Visio graphs, for example).

Is there any solution to these problems?

Thank you.

both things are possible, but you need to code it yourself.

You'd need to understand how visio files are made up, or a vector format that visio exports. Then you need to read it in, and translate it to a rev compatible vector graphic. As far as I know, there are some limitations in Rev's vector objects, so you'd need to fake certain things.

As for resizing vectors within rev, you can set their size, and they will resize correctly. So that'd be easy, but you'd need to look out for the correct placement, which can be a bit tricky.
