SVG to WPF Control

[ppberube]

Hi,

Looking for an experimented programmer who could work on the following project : we don't have any experience in this so we thought this forum would be a good starting point.

• A designer would provide a SVG of a circular gauge and a linear gauge
• The task would be to generate WPF controls based on the SVGs
• The WPF controls would be used in our in house application, used to display field-values in the automotive industry.

For example, we use similar controls as the following : https://docs.devexpress.com/WPF/115093/controls-and-libraries/gauge-controls
and we would like the same approach.

Please contact me if you are interrested and would like to know more !

@ppberube How to contact you?

Hi. I have a similar requirement. I want to build a Control/Image library, where the SVGs displayed change depending on "Input" Properties of the Control. The main usage will be to show the state of valves, motors and other actors and the connecton between them. Maybe indicated by changeing the color of a path in the svg or its thickness?

Does someone know if something like this already exists or which will be the best approach to create it?

This would be one single control which can be connected to others.

1. Determine which library meets your rendering requirements: SVGImage or SharpVectors.
2. Then consider the available features of each library (if both meet your needs)

SVGImage

• SVGImage parses the SVG into its own implementation of shapes.
• You can access these shapes and animate according to your needs
• There is no hit-test support in the controls, you will have to implement it if you need user interactivity.

SharpVectors

• SharpVectors parses SVG into an extension of .NET XmlDocument class, so all the navigations, such as XPath queries, are still available.
• There is an implementation class WpfDrawingDocument which saves and provide a link between the SVG elements and the corresponding rendered Drawing objects.
• There is also an implementation of hit-test, which so far is working well. WPF does not provide hit-test for Drawing objects, only in visual objects.
• See hit-testing: Help Wanted: Testing the Hit-Test feature ElinamLLC/SharpVectors#148
• See a user-implementation using the hit-testing: Get separated element by it's id. ElinamLLC/SharpVectors#106
