Support for adding text elements

[Dragonrun1]

First let me say I really like to project and I'm looking into using it in a project I'm starting on but one of the things I really need to do is work with text elements as well as normal graphic and shapes etc. Do you plan on adding them to SvgReal?

Hi Dragonrun1,

I have not had time to work on svgreal for while but text is definitely
something I want to add when I resume work on the code. It is not an easy
thing to do though as text in SVG is especially rich and has many
attributes et several elements. I do not know what you have in mind when
you say "normal graphic and shapes" (svg real already does the basic shapes
such as rect, ellipse, circle, polyline and line) ?

Regards

Lukas

"normal graphic and shapes" = what it does now. Here's an example of something I've been working on lately that I'd like to be able to create with SvgReal.

It displays the logo fine when I import it which is good but I can't really edit it nor could I have created it with SvgReal. I would say if you could get this level of basic text support it would cover over 90% of what most people need. The path following stuff etc are nice to have but most people that need that kind of stuff probably have something like Inkscape etc to work with already. That kind of stuff can always be added later like I'm sure you have your own ideas about other stuff you'd like to improve and add to it.

Didn't mean to close the issue :P

Ok. Thanks for the sample
