Hi list, (...)
My question: are there tools/applications available that provide the zooming/path-based animation functionality for Inkscape-produced SVG files? Or can this be done using Inkscape itself and scripting (Javascript?)? I suppose the latter would come down to hand-coding and building a lot from the ground up, or are there tools available that can help with that?
Opinions and suggestions appreciated, wwwald
Some time ago someone presented a svg file with javascript in it that lets you make slideshow presentations. All you have to do was to edit the file in Inkscape, the javascript was preserved and worked fine. I think it won't be too dificult to create something similar for this type of presentations. You could have a layer named "control" with transparent boxes (even paths if you want) with some indication of order in their id and the have some javascript that moves, rotate, zoom the document to make the boxes match the viewport. After that you could just edit the layer/s with the content and change/add/remove boxes on the control layer. It would be a nice project.
