- I want a “SVG lite” standard that’s essentially just the path attribute specified in a standalone standard – it’s by far the most valuable part of SVG and deserves “liberation” from an otherwise very large and complex spec
- If combined with a couple of other basic operations on top, like in Android’s VectorDrawable, then it’s pretty much all that one need for most things
- I am not understanding what you mean exactly but if you meant SVG alone is enough to do most of the things then let me tell you that for me it's very very limited and it fails to achieve (at least in a flexible way) most of the things I want.
- I collaborated a bit with ChatGPT to flesh out the ideas: gist.github.com/voxpelli/e7c... I do not mean that SVG is enough, rather that the path element should be allowed to shine on its own as it can do stuff like what you are pointing out :)
- path cannot do what I want. The converter I am sharing is not the goal of using shape(), it's a tool to help with more complex stuff I want to achieve. See the Spec to understand why shape() was created: drafts.csswg.org/css-shapes-2...May 12, 2025 20:53
