Additive animation

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

Additive animation appears to be working. The test case I mentioned in the last post works, even the nasty tree re-ordering cases. I’ve also extended the additive test case a little to test a bit more of the dynamic behaviour.
In implementing this I’ve tightened up the implementation of the <animate> element somewhat and wrapped each [...]

I’ve done most of the work required for additive animation. The remaining part is to correctly order animations in the animation sandwich after changes to the document structure. So in this test case the last two squares don’t behave as they should. (However, ASV fails in the same way.)
Also, I’ve implemented from/to/by animation and animation [...]

Compositing underway

Wednesday, September 7th, 2005

I’ve begun work on implementing compositing. This will take some time. Also I’m no longer sure I’ll be able to deliver syncbase timing this year as instead I may need to focus on integration issues, performance, documentation, thread-safety and so on. Hopefully all this will mean it has a better chance of getting checked in [...]

Repeating

I’ve added a basic implementation of repeating

Intervals

Interestingly Adobe SVG Viewer (6 beta) seems to do things a little differently to what I’d expect based on the SMIL Animation spec. There are a few cases but probably the most important one is when you [...]
