The biggest improvement of the new Ab2d.ReaderSvg is added support for svg patterns. This feature has been requested by many users because svg patterns are commonly used by svg file created with Microsoft Visio. Another big improvement is support for complex strokes and pens - now also LinearGradientBrush, RadialGradientBrush, VisualBrush are supported.
Here is the whole list of changes:
- Added support for all types of svg patterns:
before only TexturePatterns were supported, now other types of patterns are supported as well. All patterns are now converted into VisualBrush.
NOTE: Silverlight does not support VisualBrush - Red brush is used instead.
- Added support for complex Strokes and Pens - before Strokes and Pens can be only SolidColorBrush. Now also other types of Brushes are supported (LinearGradientBrush, RadialGradientBrush, VisualBrush, etc.).
- Fixed using opacity on some svg elements.
- Improved support for RadialGradient when gradientTransform was used.
- Fixed getting the size of the root svg element when only width or only height is specified (when AutoSize is false).
- Fixed using Ab2d.ReaderSvg inside WinForms applications.
- Fixed licensing problems when used on 64-bit OS.
The new version can be downloaded from my Downloads page.
After downloading just install the new version over the previous version (no need to uninstall).
