WPF support?

[Shujee]

Is there a way/plan to support WPF?

For example, can we export and save a XAML document (specifically a GeometryDrawing which uses a language that is very close to SVG) to SVG format and to reload an SVG file and convert it to a XAML drawing?

No plans currently, we are keeping SVG.NET in maintenance mode, as there are now better alternatives for more advanced usage scenarios of SVG in .NET. Notwithstanding contributions are welcome.

Thanks. Better alternatives? Anything in your knowledge that could do XAML-to-SVG and back conversion? My googling didn't return anything good, so I'm writing my own conversion code, which is of course less than perfect.

Hi Shujaat, First the SVG viewing in XAML/WinUI is now directly supported, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.ui.xaml.media.imaging.svgimagesource Also there is a project to load SVG files into DOMs, and convert it to XAML for viewing, that seems to be working fine: https://github.com/ElinamLLC/SharpVectors (BSD 3-Clause) Really seems that no two-way conversion project is available. That kind of thing is harder to even define/delimit as XAML has lots of controls and interactive features that don't have a way to support/implement in SVG. SVGNET has a simpler aim, to allow reusing GDI code, within a subset, to generate SVG, which is becoming an outdated need as GDI is superseded by XAML/WinUI more powerful abstractions. That is why we keep it in maintenance mode, as some projects still depend on it. Regards, Rafael Teixeira O..:.)oooo
