[Lazarus] SVG format for icons and other graphics

[Vojtěch Čihák]

Hi,
Inkscape is excellent open source application for designing vector graphics.
There is also console tool for converting svg->png: rsvg-convert
 
I use this script which converts all svg files in directory to png images with various sizes
and places them to directories:
 
#!/bin/bash
 
for i in *.[Ss][Vv][Gg]; do rsvg-convert $i -w 64 -h 64 -o ../default64normal/`echo $i | sed -e 's/svg$/png/'`; done
 
for i in *.[Ss][Vv][Gg]; do rsvg-convert $i -w 48 -h 48 -o ../default48normal/`echo $i | sed -e 's/svg$/png/'`; done
 
for i in *.[Ss][Vv][Gg]; do rsvg-convert $i -w 32 -h 32 -o ../default32normal/`echo $i | sed -e 's/svg$/png/'`; done
 
for i in *.[Ss][Vv][Gg]; do rsvg-convert $i -w 24 -h 24 -o ../default24normal/`echo $i | sed -e 's/svg$/png/'`; done
 
for i in *.[Ss][Vv][Gg]; do rsvg-convert $i -w 16 -h 16 -o ../default16normal/`echo $i | sed -e 's/svg$/png/'`; done

This is about a scalable vector graphics format. The idea is not to
change the graphics design but to make everything scalable.

Sandro mentioned this idea to me privately, too, after having very
small icons in a Windows 8.1 machine. I think it is a good idea but
technically challenging. It involves choosing a graphics library etc.

Sandro, could you please take lead in this issue. You are a talented
graphics programmer after all. Make a plan and discuss it here.
None of the current core developers is working on such issues, thus
(difficult) questions may not be answered.
When learning code, questions come up and usually they are answered,
but after certain point nobody has answers. You just have to figure
things out by yourself.

Juha
