KDE To Adopt SVG: Take A Glance

Posted by timothy on from the lines-and-arcs dept.

Karma Sucks writes "According to the KSVG website, KDE 3.2 will be adopting SVG in a very real way. A special preview of KSVG is available, showing everything from font rendering to a snowfall simulation using ECMAScript and DOM. KSVG is fully integrated into the KDE framework and can be used as a KPart -- e.g., by applications such as Atlantik."

    From the article:

    If you want to have a red rectangle you would have to do something like that in your SVG: <rect x="10" y="10" width="100" height="100" style="fill: red"/>
    Quite intuitive, isn't it?>

    All these Linux newbies will be thrilled to hear this!

  3. Dear Slashdot by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    I have this problem, and I wish other slashdotters would help me:

    I am a Peter North look-alike. I mean, I'm not just somewhat like him, I'm his exact idetical twin. However, it's only my face that looks like Peter North, my dick is *way* smaller, about 4.5 inches and rather thin for its length.

    What should I do? Shoud I get some of those pills they are advertising in the net? Do they really work? Which brand is best?

    Or should I take a more radical approach and go TV? Should I cut off my balls? Why not remove my penis as well, since it's a "microsoft"?

    I hope some of you who have the same problem will come forth with an answer.


    Sincerely yours,


    Peter South

  4. WTF is SVG? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    For real, don't use a fucking acronym and assume everyone knows what it is. AEA.

    Asshole editors anyway.

  5. KDE? Who cares? OS X is where it's at. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Mac OS X has had this stuff for years. Only now that the "KDE" people are finally catching up, the Linux community is ooohing and ahhing over it. How lame. I guess it is nice to know that I am one of the few people sitting in front of a computer that the rest of the world is struggling to come to grips with technologically. Anyway, you can keep your KDE and your Linux, I'll be sticking with a real cutting edge OS running on the fastest hardware money can buy. Yeah baby, thats what I'm talking about.
