[Extgraph-developer] CVS download problem and SVG connection points

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

1. CVS
I have tried to download main.pas (I suppose that you mean main.pas in XG=
raph)
through direct dowload from sf web page and I opened it  in Delhi without=

problem.
Problem can be that there are unix LF and your  version of Delphi cannot
handle it. I use version 7.
Try to convert LF to CRLF, or open/save it some editor that  can handle
this.

2. Licence
All Turbo Power code is released under MPL.

3. SVG
In SVG specs there are two elements that can be used for linking. First
is <a> attribute that specifies the target as in HTML. 
Second element is marker that specifes how line, polyline ends. This feat=
ure
should be implemented to enable saving graph in pure svg.
<a> attribute can be used to specify the target. However it is not fully
in conformace with original meaning, while svg authors ment it for usage
linke interactive maps on web and zooming of svg picture piece . Neverthe=
less
I think that we can tweak <a> element meaning so that if href  target poi=
nts
to local object, we will draw connection link line.
For purpose of user connection poins we will have to enhance svg by our
extension that will specify coordinates of points. That means to define
in our namespace new element. This element  could look like this:
<?xml version=3D"1.0" standalone=3D"yes"?>
<svg width=3D"4in" height=3D"3in" version=3D"1.1"
     xmlns =3D 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'
     xmlns:extgraph=3D"http://extgraph.org/extgraph
>
    <extgraph:connectionpoint x=3D"10" y=3D"20">
</svg>
