Graph problem: SVG only format that does not display - I get a blank screen with the proverbial image icon. What gives?

Are you returning SVG to the browser ?

Browsers don't really support SVG.

I think reason for adding SVG as a format was for PDF documents, as it is scaleable.

Hi everyone,

quote:
Browsers don't really support SVG.


sorry if I am a bit nagging here but that's not correct. Currently all major browsers except for one do natively support SVG images (to a certain degree - not all functions are supported). The one exception (you may have guessed) is the Microsoft Internet Explorer (up to version 8.0). 9.0 will be supporting SVG according to wikipedia.

For older IE versions there are plugins available (e.g. Adobe - discontinued but working up until IE 8.0 - tested by myself, or Google).

@Francis - Please keep in mind that SVG graphs in WebFOCUS lack some features known from PNG etc. e.g. MouseOver Tooltips (while this could programmatically be integrated fairly easy, IBI programmers have not yet seen the necessity to include this).

Cheers Linne

Francis, for SVG formatted graphs you need to have the SVG Viewer installed.
Please download from the adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/
The latest available version for Windows is 3.03 and it works with XP and Windows 7.


Regards,
Dimitri

Linne, Dimitri,

Thanks - I'll never create an SVG graph again.

Cheers,


Francis

Francis, either return a PNG, JPG or GIF, or stick the SVG in a PDF document.
