For drawing within an animation, one would not have to use all of inkscape's features, I think. Typically, figures within an animation are simple -- however, one could use inkscape to generate a powerful and useful library of useful images.
Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome! Ashwin
Will the solution you are thinking of is some kind of '.exe' (that is to say a document with inkview as viewer and all the animation stuff are encapsulated in that document (played only by inkview), or a 'svg generator stuf' that coud create object incorporated in a web page (as object) and played by the plug-in of the browser ?
I am thinking of using SVG (and javascript) to provide a replacement for flash animation on our websites. For the moment, i planned to look at the svg language to 'catch' the way it work and implemente it 'by hand'. Would your solution be a usefull-replacement for hand-home-made-svg ?
Depending on what type of Animation you want it would be well worth your time looking at SMIL. SMIL should be very effective for linking many pages into a presentation with fairly basic transitions, so at the very least it should make the basics of animation (particularly the timing) more straightforward. It helps that Adobe SVG Viewer, Realplayer and Apple Quicktime are all SMIL aware (dont know about Microsoft, they decided to mostly copy SMIL and do their own "HTML+TIME" instead).
