RE: XSLT converts svg to shapes with basic transform handling.

[Sam Liddicott <sam liddicott com>]

I've now got a recursive transform apply-er.
It accumulates transforms as it processes svg nodes and applies these to the nodes as it goes.
It doesn't yet perform rotates because while rotating a rounded rect is merely awkward I haven't worked out how to rotate an ellipse without leaving in the transform attribute.

I've also foun I need to scale stroke widths, also that draw strings cann use white space to separate coordinates and no white space around draw instructions. Parsin that in xslt is a joke.

So can I ask how much will be needed?

It may be easier to support transforms in dia directly...

In fact here is a shape I produced of an Extreme Networks 15000 Summit48.
I printed page 12 of the Summit Switch hardware installation guide to
file (postscript) and then converted that to svg with:

pstoedit -f plot-svg /tmp/output.ps > svg/48.svg

I then used inkscape to chop away all the text and extra rubbish and
label the port connections as connection_XXX and converted that with:

./genshape svg/48.svg

The attached shape works fine in dia!
