Guys, i updated the lizard.svg rendered with Rebol http://sites.google.com/site/rebolish/test-1/lizard-rebol.png

To compare with http://sites.google.com/site/rebolish/test-1/lizard.svg.


I'm glad to announce that i see absolutly no differences inside Google 
chrome.

All the grandients (linear and radial) are perfectly rendered by 
Rebol.

Nice ...

great work steeve! :)

Basically, you can load the draw block generated for the lizard here.
it's handed by the variable PANE.

GREAT WORK Steeve  :-)

Added a litte animation.
The bumping lizard !!!!

the difference in your render and SVG render is mainly the anti-aliasing, 
which is crisper in the svg renderer.... probably has a better algorythm 
setup than the one use by R3... this is probably manageable within 
AGG, but AFAIK there is no control for it within R3.

Not the problem of the antialiasing, I just think i made a false 
translation of the command used in the shapes.

They use a smouthing curve, me not i guess. I have to verify that.
But Rebol can draw smoothing curves too, no problemo.

if you draw the outlines twice, they should be a bit crisper... is 
that what you mean?

there seems to be two spots missing on the left left... very faint, 
but missing or not visible at least.

also the anti-aliasing was a result of my browser which rescaled 
the image minus 5 pixels... so it has nothing to do with your render.

ok

i only checked with google chrome, it was very similar

Sorry, got tired of the shouted group name/description :)

i don't know which renderer chrome uses

It's a good one. It looks identical to yours, though that may be 
server side in your example link.

we should also note that this is in R3  :-)  not everyone realizes 
this IMO.

Seriously? Cool :)

yes it's R3

Draw should be the same, afaik, which isn't that far. Have the parse 
improvements helped?

not so much ;-)

but the new grad-pen command of draw is awesome

Cool :)

that was seriously missing in R2 draw.. happy its in R3  :-)

By the way the DRAW function can't render that, it's crashing.

The DRAW function is still there? I really need to pay more attention 
to the graphics stuff.

i wonder why it's crashing. I thougth gobs was using the DRAW function 
in background, but seems not...

They probably call the same code internally, but the draw function 
may be crashing in a non-shared portion of its code.

to image works though?

sometimes ;-)

hehe

I'd put a :( on that.

I know we haven't been focussing on graphics or GUI bugs lately, 
but you should at least write the graphics bugs down somewhere.

You know it's a problem when you can't replicate the bug and focus 
clearly what the problem is.
Carl put a spell on me because of that (in his last note)

Heisenbugs are the worst :(

There is another problem with draw in Gobs.

When there is an error in the commands, nothing is showed but you 
don't know where it comes from.

blank page, that''s what you got

it usually renders up until the error occurs

that's not what i got.
i got a blank screen when an error occurs.

it depends on the error... its the same in R2.

yep it depends... Brian"s heisenbugs are everywhere in draw

well, it should do the same in R3. at least it did in earlier builds, 
but does PARSE have anything to do with that?

why parse ?

doesn't DRAW use the other fast dialect making parser? don't remember 
its name.

delect

yeah that its.

meant... yeah  that's it...

wahoo ... lot to read .. T___T  basically there is in Draw/AGG some 
limitations due to gradient  system and matrix translation bugs i 
don't know if they have been solved  since i pointed a them ...

steeve is working on annimated splash screen logo animated in svg 
for the next version of viva-rebol :P

rebol even our splash screen are ass kickers ;P
