A tool converting SVG to Canvas

This blogging platform, Blogger.com, does not display its content in XHTML: in consequence, it is not possible to embed a SVG picture in the body of a post. Solution: I've created a tool called SVGToCanvas converting a SVG document to a Canvas script. The software is available here: . For example, the picture below was a SVG file converted to canvas (yes, have a look at the html source).

That's it.

    Hi Pierre,

    This blogging platform, Blogger.com, does not display its content in XHTML: in consequence, it is not possible to embed a SVG picture in the body of a post.

    I'm not familiar with the blogger.com platform but... Wouldn't it be possible to embed the SVG pictures using <object> tags? Maybe through a configurable widget... ;-)

    Great to see the developed work, though! :-)

    You're right: A svg image can be inserted using the 'iframe' element (see my older post http://plindenbaum.blogspot.com/2008/12/genetic-algorithm-with-darwins-face.html ). But when using a 'canvas' there is no need to upload the svg elsewhere (for example, you can truly download your blog) , your storage quota (e.g. Google Picasa) of images is not reduced.
