SVG Icons

Heya folks!

I need to load SVG images (for icons) in my application. I've searched
my 6.1 image for SVG, but haven't found anything.

Is there a library for loading SVGs? I'd really like to get them
directly into instances of Form if possible, but I'm flexible. :)

Thanks!

Re: SVG Icons

Hi,

this is not really tested, but you can try to do the following

(installation)

a) install XMLParser from catalog

b) in monticello browser open Pharo/Athens and load latest version of Athens-SVG package

(usage)

Then you import SVG XML using Converter and paint it on a surface, which you convert to Form.

```

contents := (ZnEasy get: 'https://s.cdpn.io/3/kiwi.svg') contents.

xmlDoc := XMLDOMParser parse: contents.

svg := AthensSVGConverter new importXMLDocument: xmlDoc.

svg transform: 'scale(0.5)'.

extent := 500 @ 500.

surface := AthensCairoSurface extent: extent.

surface drawDuring: [ :aCanvas | svg renderOn: aCanvas ].

surface asForm.

```

Re: SVG Icons

That is a very cool example !

Some nit picking (just trying to help make examples/snippets even more sexy).

The shortest expression to get to the contents of a URL, using only unary selectors is

'https://s.cdpn.io/3/kiwi.svg' asUrl retrieveContents.

XMLDomParser's API also has the option #parseURL: so the following would also work

XMLDomParser parseURL: 'https://s.cdpn.io/3/kiwi.svg'.

I believe that call actually has some additional functionality too.
