Weird results when converting SVG to js for Raphael - svg

Im trying to use this image with Raphael:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Argentina_Buenos_Aires_City_location_map.svg
I convert it to js with: http://toki-woki.net/p/SVG2RaphaelJS/
And I get this:
Any Idea of what can I do to solve this? This is worst apparently when I add text in inkscape above each reagion to change later via javascript.
Im using SVGWEB now without problems buy Im trying another alternatives because I cannot make the addeventlistener work in IE7/8 like I said here:
can't add listener to a SVG in Internet Explorer using SVGweb
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try mapSVG plugin instead.
Demo with your map: http://map.karaliki.ru/bu.html (zoom in-out with mouse wheel)
It works in IE7-8 as well.

Vaadin - SVG Generator, any alternative?

I have been working with Vaadin charts during this week and I found a problem that I cannot solve. I need to send several charts to a PDF generation (using iTextpdf) and I could do it using SVGGenerator. The main problem is I cannot use this solution because the final laptop doesn't allow any installation, and Phantomjs is required for SVG Generator (no add-on can be installed neither). I tried to find a different solution to convert the chart content into file or buffer that I can manage, but I think I have been reading so much posts and I am not able to distinguish the solution.
So, I will try to clarify basic questions first:
a) Is it possible to manage SVG Generator without any installation in the laptop?
b) If not, is there a different way to convert a chart into an object which class could be managed to insert it into a PDF?
I can assure you I tried to read all documentation in this forum and official Vaadin forum related to this topic but I couldn't find any solution. I don't want to seem lazy, I only want to avoid spending more time and clarify the maining pre-conditions to solve this issue.
thanks in advance for your time and help.
Kind regards,
David.
You can take a screenshot of your chart and append it to pdf:
Screenshot screenshot = new Screenshot();
screenshot.setTargetComponent(myTargetComponent);
myChartLayout.addComponent(screenshot);
//when complete
screenshot.addScreenshotListener(new ScreenshotListener() {
public void screenshotComplete(ScreenshotImage image) {
//do something
}
});
//take screenshot
screenshot.takeScreenshot();
You will not be able to render a Vaadin Chart without a web browser engine of some kind. That's what PhantomJS provides. If you have a full-blown web browser at your disposal, though, you can grab the SVG markup manually from there; it's just a bit more difficult to automate. This works in Chrome:
Open your Charts app in the browser
Open the JavaScript console (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + J)
Type something like this: copy(document.getElementsByTagName('svg')[0].outerHTML)
Paste the contents of your clipboard to a new text file and save it as an SVG.
You don't need to install phantomjs, just bundle its binary along with your web application (Reference). I did the same thing with my Amazon AWS deployment and it works just fine.

Create a map with clickable provinces/states using SVG, HTML/CSS, ImageMap

I am trying to create an interactive map where users can click on different provinces in the map to get info specific to that province.
Example:
archived: http://www.todospelaeducacao.org.br/
archived: http://code.google.com/p/svg2imap/
So far I've only found solutions that have limited functionality. I've only really searched for this using an SVG file, but I would be open to other file types if it is possible.
If anyone knows of a fully functioning way to do this (jQuery plug-in, PHP script, vector images) or a tutorial on how to do it manually please do share.
jQuery plugin for decorating image maps (highlights, select areas, tooltips):
http://www.outsharked.com/imagemapster/
Disclosure: I wrote it.
Sounds like you want a simple imagemap, I'd recommend to not make it more complex than it needs to be. Here's an article on how to improve imagemaps with svg. It's very easy to do clickable regions in svg itself, just add some <a> elements around the shapes you want to have clickable.
A couple of options if you need something more advanced:
http://jqvmap.com/
http://jvectormap.com/
http://polymaps.org/
I think it's better to divide my answer to 2 parts:
A-Create everything from scratch (using SVG, JavaScript, and HTML5):
Create a new HTML5 page
Create a new SVG file, each clickable area (province) should be a separate SVG Polygon in your SVG file,
(I'm using Adobe Illustrator for creating SVG files but you can find many alternative software products too, for example Inkscape)
Add mouseover and click events to your polygons one by one
<polygon points="200,10 250,190 160,210" style="fill:lime;stroke:purple;stroke-width:1"
onmouseover="mouseOverHandler(evt)"
onclick="clickHandler(evt)" />
Add a handler for each event in your JavaScript code and add your desired code to the handler
function mouseOverHandler(evt) {};
function clickHandler(evt) {};
Add the SVG file to your HTML page (I prefer inline SVG but you can use linked SVG file too)
Upload the files to your server
B-Use a software like FLDraw Interactive Image Creator (only if you have a map image and want to make it interactive):
Create an empty project and choose your map image as your base image when creating the new project
Add a Polygon element (from the Shape menu) for each province
For each polygon double click it to open the Properties window where you can choose an event type for mouse-over and click,
also change the shape opacity to 0 to make it invisible
Save your project and Publish it to HTML5, FLDraw will create a new folder that contains all of the required files for your project that you can upload to your server.
Option (A) is very good if you are programmer or you have someone to create the required code and SVG file for you,
Option (B) is good if you don't want to hire someone or spend your own time for creating everything from scratch
You have some other options too, for example using HTML5 Canvas instead of SVG, but it's not very easy to create a Zoomable map using HTML5 Canvas,
maybe there are some other ways too that I'm not aware of.
Just in case anyone will search for it - I used it on several sites, always the customization and RD possibilities were a perfect fit for what I needed. Simple and it is free to use:
Clickable CSS Maps
One note for more scripts on a site: I had some annoying problems with getting to work a map (that worked as a graphic menu) in Drupal 7. There where many other script used, and after handling them, I got stuck with the map - it still didn't work, although the jquery.cssmap.js, CSS (both local) and the script in the where in the right place. Firebug showed me an error and I suddenly eureka - a simple oversight, I left the script code as it was in the example and there was a conflict. Just change the front function "$" to "jQuery" (or other handler) and it works perfect. :]
Here's what I ment (of course you can put it before instead of the ):
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
$('#map-country').cssMap({'size' : 810});
});
</script>
Go to SVG to Script
with your SVG the default output is the map in SVG
Code which adds events is also added but is easily identified and can be altered as required.
I have been using makeaclickablemap for my province maps for some time now and it turned out to be a really good fit.
I had the same requirements and finally this Map converter worked for me. It is the best plugin for any map generation.
Here is another image map plugin I wrote to enhance image maps: https://github.com/gestixi/pictarea
It makes it easy to highlight all the area and let you specify different styles depending on the state of the zone: normal, hover, active, disable.
You can also specify how many zones can be selected at the same time.
The following code may help you:
$("#svgEuropa [id='stallwanger.it.dev_shape_DEU']").on("click",function(){
alert($(this).attr("id"));
});
Source
You have quite a few options for this:
1 - If you can find an SVG file for the map you want, you can use something like RaphaelJS or SnapSVG to add click listeners for your states/regions, this solution is the most customizable...
2 - You can use dedicated tools such as clickablemapbuilder (free) or makeaclickablemap (i think free also).
[disclaimer] Im the author of clickablemapbuilder.com :)
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
$('#map-country').cssMap({'size' : 810});
});

Download Raphael canvas as a SVG or PDF

I am using Raphael to create a dynamic visualization. Is it possible to allow the image generated on the Canvas to be downloaded as a SVG/PDF or another image format?
There are pieces of information missing here, namely browser support, server-/client-side solution and whether costs are okay or not. So I'll try to give you an exhaustive answer.
For a client-side solution, you can use DocRaptor. Just feed the SVG tree to DocRaptor This works for the SVG-producing browsers (all since 2005 except for IE prior to version 9). Note that DocRaptor has a fee for converting documents into PDF. For a free server-side solution for converting an SVG tree to a PDF, I would suggest using wkhtmltopdf as proposed in this answer.
For IE6-8, which Raphaël produces VML for, you could create a PHP solution using the Vector Converter library. When the conversion from VML to SVG is finished, sent the SVG to DocRaptor (or wkhtmltopdf).
There is no free client-side VML/SVG -> PDF solution that works for VML or SVG. To build that would mean interpreting SVG and/or VML, creating a PDF from it using JavaScript (there are JS PDF library attempts), and sending it to the client using some Flash technique. I guess nobody has attempted to build that yet. I might.
pdfkit seems to be the way to go, with using browserify to make the node code run client side. There is a nice demo here
You can save as an image using canvg and canvas2image libraries

How to set Legend with Open Flash Chart 2 graphic using Open source Java API - JOFC?

I have a Seam 2.2 app running under JBoss5.1. In this application I have successfully developed some Graphics using Java Open Flash Chart, which is a Java API for Open Flash Chart.
Now I would like to add a X and Y legend like this one.
Well I have a graphic which is rendering properly and than I try to set X Label using:
...
chart.setXLegend(new Text("Legenda X"));
But than instead of showing the legend it corrupts something which causes the graphic to renders completely blank.
This is the generated JSon when the graphics renders correctly.
{"y_axis":{"min":388,"max":866,"steps":20},"title":{"text":"Gráfico de gasto mensal com Combustível"},"bg_colour":"#FFFFFF","is_decimal_separator_comma":0,"elements":[{"values":[{"tip":"R$:610.0\n05/2010","top":610},{"tip":"R$:488.0\n06/2010","top":488},{"tip":"R$:634.57\n07/2010","top":634.57},{"tip":"R$:766.0\n08/2010","top":766},{"tip":"R$:396.0\n09/2010","top":396},{"tip":"R$:610.0\n10/2010","top":610}],"type":"bar"}],"num_decimals":2,"is_fixed_num_decimals_forced":0,"x_axis":{"labels":{"labels":["05/2010","06/2010","07/2010","08/2010","09/2010","10/2010"]}},"is_thousand_separator_disabled":0}
I took a deeply look at it and turns out that whenever I try to add the x legend with the code fragment showed above the JSon is actually NOT generated by JOFC.
I could not find much useful documentation on JOFC on the web and the API itself is not very well documented, so I am completely lost on trying to add this simple x label, which should be the easiest part :( . Any Ideas on that.
An update:
Now I just have downloaded JOFC source code and will take a look at this.
It looks like there's an open issue on the JOFC page: http://code.google.com/p/jofc2/issues/detail?id=29
It suggests a workaround of calling the function like:
chart.setXLegend(new Text("Legenda X", Text.TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER))
I would try with Open Flash Grapix, it is easier to use, and just sets parameters on FlashVars.

Displaying Maya Mesh XML in browser

I have a Mesh file (XML format) created in Maya.
I would like to display it in the browser with some additional options for the user, like rotating an zooming in and out.
What should be the best and easy method to do so?
(SilverLight, HTML5/JS/Canvas, Flesh)
I would really like to try HTML5/Canvas - is there any libraries that know how to do it?
Thanks.

You can visit this site learningwebgl
There are a lot of lessons and demos. On the right side there is a list of frameworks.
But you need browser support for webgl...
If you are willing to export your file in Collada/DAE format (which is basically XML), there are some online WebGL framework demos that show that a DAE file can be displayed the way you wish.
The frameworks that I've seen this for are GLGE and SpiderGL.
(WebGL is the 3D version of HTML5/Canvas.)
you can export your maya scene with http://www.inka3d.com and then manipulate it with javascript
