Question/discussion: Handling 91mb SVGs?

[Denubis]

This is mainly a question of suitability (most likely the answer will be "no, just render to png"). I've got a 6 metre by 3 metre svg with details down to the 2-5mm level. Does svg-overlay section the svg and/or work on svg sections? (And if so, are there recommended routes to create those sections?)

This plugin just gives you a transformed surface to draw your SVG on; it doesn't do any sectioning. If you had another library that could do sectioning, it would probably be pretty straight forward to hook it up to this plugin (and just pipe the current viewport bounds into the sectioning library). Presumably such libraries exist, but as far as I know no one has hooked one up to this plugin. If you do so, I'd love to hear about it!

In an attempt to test this, I ran https://github.com/VoidVolker/MagickSlicer against my svg (expecting an error) and... it's quite happily making tiled svgs. Can I invite you to a private repo to share them? (I'm not keen on publishing URLs for this yet)

[Denubis]

Ah. Viewing source it seems to be embedding pngs inside the sectioned svg... files. I'll go back to looking.
