HI Stam,
Oh, I get it now ..why the circle was not included...and why I too got the half-face !
If I understand it, the M letter is where a Line starts...And the Z is where it ends... and they use relative and abolute Coord, I myself not knowledgeable enuff about SVG format...
there is much more than just that...
I'd think...unless you build your own SVG "editor in LC code" itself :
Doing an ....SVG copy/paste or import from whatever source will stay a tricky unreliable method !!
* I have browsed one Linux store but could not find a tool that would easely "extract" just the wanted path from whatever Internet SVG image/icon, and I'd rather use a GUI tool than the command line for that...
I guess an LC SVG editor would require at least :
1 "drawing feature" drag/drop : circle/square/whatever...library shape predesigned.
1 Elastic lines modifier like select a node and strech your line as you wish!
1 Line thickness tool
1 Color/paint selection tool
I m not sure if LC already offers such a Line-pull to stretch tool for a mouse draggin a point.
That would be cooler than being limited to only predefined-shapes like with drag/drop ...so as to drop a smile for instance.
If such tool would be possible in LC, I guess LC would be a good candidate to code its own Stack/App to Design SVG icons, crossplateforms !
As for the SVG Path Storing feature, LC IDE is quite "dumb simple" about it, but if that works...
Beside storing the path in a dedicated stack I dont see how LC could store it "nicely" without involving a small external DB like Sqlite, or even text file, which requires much more coding just to deal with that, so probably smarter to keep it dumb simple for this.
I'd be ready to study project requirements for an opensource SVG free Editor in order to output at least :
- all SVG "Path strings" designed with it, so that one could just copy them back to one's favorite LC stack ..And voila !
