People,

I am looking for very simple SVG drawing tool - mainly to draw circles -
but it has to be something written in Ruby. I don't really mind what
the GUI toolkit is - as long as it is easy to use and runs on Linux.

Does something like this exist? If not, any suggestions about what to
use to write it myself?

Thanks,

Phil.

Philip,

you can find quite a lot of them in Rubyforge.

http://rubyforge.org/search/?type_of...g&Search=Suche

It is also possible to draw circles in RMagick (http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/portfolio3.html) in svg,
but RMagick's installation can be a bit daunting...

Best regards,

Axel

Thanks for that - I will have a look at them. Is is for the new version
of the C/C++ simulation program that we have previously talked about. I
have an idea about using the SVG circle information for both initial
parameter input and also display output for the program but the SVG
drawing program needs to be very simple and small.

Regards,

Phil.

RMagick can do a lot of things but I don't think it's what you're
looking for. While you can read SVG images with it, mostly it's good for
outputting raster images.

Good luck with your project, though!

You might consider Batik with JRuby. I know others are using it for some
crazy cool graphics stuff. It's not a full app (SVG library) but it
works really, really well.

It is overkill for me - it looks like FXSvgCanvas is just what I want
but it is no longer being worked on and the download link is not working . .

Thanks anyway,

Regards,

Phil.
