PixelPalaces - VIEWING SVG FILES

This is based on Webkit (like Safari) and should have similar capabilities. Hot zones are invisible but receive events. Some filters work. Filters that combine turbulance with the source graphic (many of these) don't seem to incorporate the source graphic (may be more complicated than this). Some SMIL animations triger warnings and don't work. Javascript and SMIL don't seem to work if they're trigured by the beginning or end of an SMIL animation. Can be zoomed by Ctrl+Mousewheel at which point scroll bars appear, allowing you to scroll. However it's very slow and eratic so it's problematic with pictures which are larger than the initial view. Can be paned by Shift+drag but this is awkward as you drag up to go down, down to go up, right to go right and left to go left. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to return to the orriginal view, not even re-loading.

Orientation

Works really well.

Title Page

• Links don't corespond to the position of the text.
• Background looks like boiling mercury, it should look like space with lots of stars.
• Dragon's wing membrain not filtered.

Part I

• Frame 1 - When Dactura rolled is over, it trigures the animation and moves to the next frame but the number 1 or the nav bar remains white and the number 2 remains black.
• Frame 7 - Dawn's bikini top too small and in the wrong place. Dawn's hot zone does appear (it's done in a different way from most of them.
• Frame 10 - No name on user icon.
• Frame 11 - Fades in and out but does not move on to next frame. Not clipped.
• Frame 13 - Fades in and out but does not move on to next frame. No text on badges.

Part II

• Frame 7,9,11,14 - Fill missing from tree's leaves but filter appears (but the fill is present in frames 20 and 23 - these are all the same picture with minor variations).

Part V

Seems to interfere with other programs on your computer causing them to run slowly or crash.

• Frames 9 and 13 - Trista's cheeks and nipples not cropped making them look rectangular. Fill on tree's leave's missing although the filter is visible.
• Frame 14 - Trista's nipple's not clipped so they look rectangular. Fill missing on tree's leaves.
• Frame 22 - Fills missing from Velociraptor's body, vegetables and steam but their filters appear. Clipping missing from windows.

• Frame 33 - Another frame with multiple filters that don't work well with the filter bug.
• Frame 34 - Background (water) not filtered so it's hard to tell what it's supposed to be. Fills missing from exhaust.
• Frame 37 - Fill missing from sand.

• Frame 10 - Fill from water missing.
• Frame 14 - No text on Noreiga's badge.

• Frame 4 - Upon clicking the OK button on the SMIL warning, it progresses to frame 5 with another SMIL warning.
• Frame 5 - Upon clicking the OK button on the SMIL warning, it progreeses to the navigation page, bypassing frame 6.
• Frame 6 - Works fine but you only seem able to get it by clicking the number 6 on the nav bar or the back button when on the navigation page.
• Frame 7 - Dog's body missing (I think there's some bad code here I'll fix when I combine these files). Captain's head transparent.
• Frame 11 - Animates from the wrong possition (I think runs the animateTransform but not the animateMotion). Fill missing from dog's body, only shading and filter shows.
• Frame 12 - Dog's body mysteriously become solid (this is what it should look like but why does this frame work and not frame 11?).

End

Works very well but seems rather slow.

It's difficult finding SVG information on the website - it just claims that this has been improved. Most SMIL works. Filters that require the background graphic don't seem to work and objects with them don't appear. The animated hot zone filter (uses the background graphic) doesn't appear but receives events. Generally fast but does seem to get slow on frames with large areas of filters and the function to close the final bubble seems particularly slow. It has a bizare inability to display local SVGZ files. There doesn't seem to be a way to zoom and pan svg files.

Orientation

Works well apart from things noted elsewhere.

Book 1 title page

The filter in the background dosen't look right at all (it should look like space with stars).

Frame 7 - Dog's body missing (I think this is a problem with my code).

End

Very good

Generally very good and have fixed the bug that caused serious problems with version 11 and 11.01. Most problems seem related to text, particularly when fancy. Can zoom with right click menu but the viewBox is zoomed as well and anything outside isn't shown. Can be panned with Ctrl drag but this very slow and clunky.

Part XI

Very good.

End

Very good.

Reasonable performance but still lacks SMIL and filters and a few text elements seem to be the wrong size. Animated hot zone filter appears as black shapes. Opens links with target attributes in the same window. The Standalone can't handle links to non-SVG files. Does display SVG's in image elements but doesn't get the dimentions right. The Windows Explorer plug-in produces thumbnails of SVG(Z) files in Windows Explorer.

I haven't tested the plug-in as there doesn't seem to be an easy way to switch back and fourth between it and the Adobe plug-in.

The Company developing this is having problems so it's future is looking uncertain particularly as the anouncement that IE 9 will have SVG support suggests that it will quickly become obsolete.

Part I

• Frame 1 - hot zone does not appear. Rolling over it results in warning that "Operation not supported by implimentation." Does not dissapear when you move on to other frames.

• Frame 11 - Tiffy doesn't appear but her hot zone does.
• Frame 16 - mouseout doesn't work on Tiffy's hot zone.
• Frame 26 - Tiffy's hot zone (first one in frame) doesn't appear or receive events.
• Navigation page - only part of "Archives" icon appears.

Part IV

• Frame 18 - Tiffy's not zone doesn't appear but accepts events.
• Frame 25 - Only hot zone appears (the rest, apart from the bubble, is an image referencing an SVGZ file) and doesn't accept events. Displaying this frame seems to crash the viewer so it refuses to do anything else except closing down.
• Navigation page - only part of "Archives" icon appears.

Part V

• Frame 3 - Only hot zone appears and then the viewer refuses to do anything else except shutting down.
• Frame 20 - Only half of Tiffy's hair appears and her right arm isn't visible. The navbar doesn't appear.
• Frame 32 - Only parts of Stag appear (he's in an SVGZ file refeferenced by an image). The lines of the space ship diagram are very narrow and hard to see.
• Frame 33 - Refuses to do anything except close down.
• Frame 34 - Guest icon partly missing.
• Navigation page - only part of "Archives" icon appears.

Part VI

• Frame 3 - Parts of Stag's face (in an SVGZ file referenced by an image) missing.
• Frame 7 - Black, possibly because it has a filter over an image referencing a jpg file.
• Frame 11-13 - Name on user icon too small and the wrong font.
• Frame 16 and 19 - SMIL warning.
• Frame 20 - SMIL warning. Tiffy and Dawn incorrectly cropped.

• Frame 18 - causes viewer to freez when Buchannon appears.
• Frames 26, 28, 30 - zoom doesn't work with SMIL warning.
• Frame 32 - Hernandez's picture doesn't appear and viewer freezes.
• Frame 40 - Opens Notepad to display txt file if you click on the computer (this is good but unexpected).
• Navigation page - only part of "Archives" icon appears.

Part VIII

• Frame 13-14 - hot zones not obvious but accepts events.
• Frame 15 - zoom out only displays a small part of this frame but zoom all displays all of it.
• Frame 17-20 - SMIL warnings. Flashing lines don't appear.
• Frame 30 - clicking just gives an SMIL warning instead of advancing to the next frame (you an use the nav bar).
• Frame 31-32 - clicking doesn't do anything (can use nav bar).
• Frame 34-36, 38, 40, 42, 44 - Trista's nighty has mysteriously turned magenta.

Based on Web Kit so should be very similar to Google Chrome. However Chrome now seems more ambitious. The animated filter appears black. Doesn't seem to support SVG fonts (so writing in fancy fonts tends not to appear). Going to another page from an SVG and then going back doesn't restart the SVG but returns to the state where you left it (useful). Filters don't seem to work. Some fonts displayed larger than in other viewers. onend events in SMIL don't seem to work. Can work slowly and slow down other applications when viewing large SVG files. Zoomed by Ctrl+mousewheel but if you zoom out, only the contents of the original viewBox is maintained. Pans by Shitf + drag but the up and down is reversed (drag left to go left, right to go right, up to go down and down to go up) which is confusing. Doesn't seem to have an "original view" function and even when you go on to another file, the pan and zoom is maintained.

Orientation

Works very well.

Book 1 title page

Works quiet well.

• Frame 11 - Tiffy doesn't appear (but her hot zone does and receives events).
• Frame 26 - Tiffy's hot zone doesn't appear or receive events. This is the first hot zone in the frame so it's unlcear if the others work.

Part IV

• Frame 18 - Tiffy's hot zone doesn't appear but accepts events.
• Frame 21 - Tiffy's hot zone doesn't appear but accepts events.

Part V

• Frame 13 - Trista's nipples are very prominent, pressumably due to a filter problem.

• Frame 24, 27-29 - Safari tends to crash and re-start about here!
• Frame 32 - Satalite missing.
• Frame 33 - Buchannon's (an image referencing an SVGZ file) picture too small (his hot zone is the correct size).

Part VI

• Frame 7 - Black, possibly because it has a bitmap image as a background with filters over it.
• Frame 11-13 - Name missing from user icon.
• Frame 28 - Doesn't progress to next frame (have to use navbar).
• Frame 29 - Only one animation (birds) runs. Doesn't progress to next frame (have to use navbar).
• Frame 30 - Buchannon (image elements referencing SVGZ files) too small.

Part VII

• Frames 4-7 - Text "White Dove Conflict Resolution" doesn't appear.

• Frame 15 - Fairy's hot zone (fist one) doesn't receive events.
• Frames 16-17 Dactura's hot zone (first one) doesn't receive events.
• Frame 18 - Buchannon (image elements referencing SVGZ files) too small.
• Frame 23 - The relies on filters to give texture and doesn't look anywhere as near as good as it should the way Safari has applied them.

• Frame 15 - Viewing awkward due to no zoom and bizare pan.
• Frame 16 - No text on Noriega's badge.
• Frame 17-20 - Flashing lines on map don't appear. Last hot zone on Frame 20 won't disappear.
• Frame 28 - Problematic because of zoom and pan.

• Frame 32 - Clicking of the frame has no effect (can use forward button).
• Frame 54 - No text on user icon.
• Frame 58 - Flames are black. Would be better if zoom and pan was better.

Part XI

• Frame 3 - Land masses missing from Earth. Upon clicking, get a SMIL warning. After clicking the SMIL warning's OK button several times, you get the navigation frame but there's no changes in the frame first.
• Frame 4 - Upon clicking, get a SMIL warning. No change to picture when OK button clicked. The second time, you get the navigation frame.
• Frame 5 - Upon clicking, get a SMIL warning. When OK button clicked you get the navigation frame.
• Frame 6 - Works but only accessible via the nav bar.
• Frame 9 - Doesn't advance to next frame after animation.
• Frame 11 - Zooms from wrong location, probably because the animateTransform is executed but not the animateMotion which should run at the same time. Doesn't advance to the next frame after the animation.

End

Good
