RiverSoftAVG SVG Component Library

The RiverSoftAVG SVG Component Library (RSCL) is a scalable vector graphics (SVG) component library for Delphi XE8-Alexandria and supports both VCL and FMX. The RSCL provides the ability to read, edit, display, and write SVGs in Delphi. The RSCL provides an SVG viewer in both Vcl and FMX that adheres to the SVG specification version 1.1, a modularized language for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics in XML. The RSCL provides Delphi developers access to the large library of free and commercial SVG graphics available from the web. Easily load and display high-quality resolution independent graphics, modify any element of the graphic in real-time, and save your changes for later. The RSCL is, for the most part (see SVG v1.1 specification compatibility), a conforming static SVG viewer (e.g., dynamics are provided through Delphi instead of through SVG scripting) and static SVG editor.

For Delphi XE8-Alexandria (Win32/Win64/OSX/iOS/Android)

The RiverSoftAVG SVG Component Library is required for our exciting instrument add-on package, IMPACT. IMPACT comes with a large suite of gauges and gadgets, including clocks, compasses, batteries, speedometers, lights, an altimeter, barometer, and more. Easily add IMPACT to your applications with this addon from RiverSoftAVG.

Key Benefits

	100% Source Code
	For VCL and FMX
	For Win32, Win64, OSX, iOS and Android
	Supports most features of SVG v1.1 Specification for static viewers, which indicates the features that an SVG viewer can process and render successfully (please see SVG 1.1 Specification Compatibility for detailed information)
	SVG Image Viewer with mouse support
	SVG Threaded Image Viewer with mouse support
	SVG Image Lists (VCL and FMX-XE8+) save memory and disk space for your applications especially on mobile
	Edit and Save SVGs as SVG Files (XML) or Delphi Binary Files (Faster but Larger Files incompatible with other tools)
	Embed SVGs into your applications as SVG Files (XML) or Delphi Binary Files for easier deployment
	Improved Linear and Radial Gradient Support
	SVG FMX and VCL Controls (Convert SVG to design-time/run-time controls) (Note that the TRSSVGPanel for the VCL is very limited in capabilities and compatibility with the SVG specification compared to the rest of the library. It is recommended to use the TRSSVGPanel only on tested SVGs to prevent errors)
	Integration with VCL TPicture architecture and FMX TBitmap codec architecture to transparently load SVGs as bitmaps
	CSS Style support for SVG element (for styles defined in same file)
	Integrated IDE Help Insight as well as Help File and Online Documentation (online documentation, v1)
	Requires Microsoft Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10 for VCL

SVG v1.1 Specification Compatibility

The RiverSoftAVG SVG Component Library provides an SVG viewer in both VCL and FMX that adheres to the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Specification Version 1.1, a modularized language for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics in XML . The RSCL is, for the most part, a Conforming Static SVG Viewer (as opposed to a Conforming Dynamic SVG Viewer) and Static SVG Editor, which indicates the features of the SVG specification that an SVG viewer can process and render successfully (unsupported features are crossed out):

Document Structure - Implemented
Styling - Implemented
Coordinate Systems, Transformations and Units - Implemented
Paths - Implemented
Basic Shapes - Implemented
Text - Implemented
Painting: Filling, Stroking and Marker Symbols - Implemented except for Filters
Color - Implemented except for color-profile
Gradients and Patterns - Implemented
Clipping, Masking and Compositing - Implemented simple alpha compositing (Vcl and FMX) and Clipping (Vcl Only)
~~Filter Effects~~ ~~- Not implemented~~
~~Interactivity~~ ~~- Not implemented, use Delphi~~
~~Linking~~ ~~- Not implemented~~
~~Scripting~~ ~~- Not implemented, use Delphi~~
~~Animation~~ ~~- Not implemented, use Delphi~~
Fonts - Delphi Fonts
~~Metadata~~ ~~- Not implemented~~

Summary of Limitations:

Gradient Fills are limited on Mobile (limitation of FMX)
No Clipping support in FMX
No Masking support
No Filters support
No Animation support (must be implemented through Delphi)
No Dynamic SVG support (hyperlinking, scripting, etc)

Note that some performance comparisons of the RSCL on different platforms are discussed in this blog post.

How To Use

Using the RiverSoftAVG SVG Component Library (RSCL) is very quick and easy with many options for how you want to display SVGs. Check out these tutorials from the online help:

There is also a long blog post that discuss the RSCL.

Demos

Please try the demo applications before buying. The demo applications are compiled applications for VCL and FMX. Please try your SVG files with the demo applications to verify that they will work with the RSCL. Note that the FMX demos uses the modified FMX.Canvas.D2D.pas discussed in our blog.

There is an evaluation version of the RSCL available from the Downloads page. The demo has no limitations except:

	No Design-Time support for Generating Controls from the SVG with the TRSSVGPanel control
	For Vcl (Win32/64) and FMX (Win 32) Only
	When Delphi is not running, applications compiled with the library will display a nag screen

*** The DEMO version is for EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY ***
