Description Alan Horkan 2005-07-13 22:04:10 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

I dont know much about QT but I was interested to learn about how KChart uses the built in functionality of QPainter to export SVG. If it is feasible it would be really great if KStars could allow SVG too.  

If it is impractical to implement then dont worry about it but I'd love to see SVG Everywhere, especially if it something already built into QT.

The code for KChart's SVG export can be found here: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/koffice/filters/kchart/svg/

This bug has been mis-assigned.  You wanted KStart, not KStars
Comment 3 Alan Horkan 2005-07-16 22:01:24 UTC 
I meant K Stars 'etoile' stellar space etc, part of Kde Edu

The star charts in Kstars look like some form of vector graphics or line drawings and KStars already includes an option to export to raster graphics formats such as PNG.  I am asking if it might be possible to use the SVG support built into QPainter to also allow SVG export from Kstars.

Assigning back to kstars :)

Git commit 1024a9b4c151e0d11d4ba24b0dba79c8cff725b9 by Rafał Kułaga.
Committed on 01/05/2011 at 22:10.
Pushed by kulaga into branch 'gsoc2011'.

Add SVG format support for sky image export function.

Class QSvgGenerator is used as a QPaintDevice for
SkyMapDrawAbstract::exportSkyImage() method.

Overlays, names etc. are saved as vector graphics;
sky images are saved as raster graphics (<image> element).
