Could you elaborate on that? What should I be aware of if exporting vector art from, say, Illustrator or Inkscape?
- ygra 13y agoFrom Inkscape? Little, as SVG is its native format and thus Inkscape's feature set aligns nicely with the capabilities of the format (if used carefully, e.g. using clones instead of copies for identical shapes, etc.). Illustrator, however, will export more or less with a minimum SVG feature set used and for complex drawings that may end up fairly large and fairly inefficient. Drop shadows and filters in general are a concern. Not so much on desktop browsers nowadays, but in mobile very much.
- sambeau 13y agoiOS performance is generally awful with SVG. Scrolling used to be bad but I think Webkit fixed that bug. Too much detail has been the cause of the worst performance (and crashing) I've seen — one image of a playing card froze my iPad. http://code.google.com/p/vectorized-playing-cards/ http://code.google.com/p/vectorized-playing-cards/ try this guy: http://www.totalnonsense.com/misc_images/Jack_of_Spades_vector.svg http://www.totalnonsense.com/misc_images/Jack_of_Spades_vect... Blurs can be slow on large images. Drawing Big SVGs can be problematic too.
