A SVG/XBL Paint App Demo
I rewrote it since I last blogged about it, though the code is still messy. On top of moving/resizing, you can now change colors/borders as well as add new boxes/triangles. Just click on the "toolbar" and draw a new one in the drawing area.
I also started a "layer" like area that shows a thumbnail for each shape in the drawing area.
Obviously requires a Mozilla/Firefox trunk build with SVG enabled via preferences.
A quick SVG rant:
Every other W3C spec pretty much uses "length" to get, well, the length of a list. Natrually, SVG uses "numberOfItems" for SVGPointList.

"Natrually, SVG uses "numberOfItems" for SVGPointList."
Why'd they do this?

Probably because "length" also has a geometric interpretation. It might mean, for example, the distance between the first point and the last point. NumberOfItems is unambiguous.

Wow... I can see... "IllustZilla" coming soon. :-P

I wonder, might the use of "numberOfItems" be to avoid confusion with lengths of paths, etc...
