[OpenLayers-Dev] Hello and a SVG Format patch

[Jonathan Lister]

Hello! (sorry if this is the second time you get this... had sending problems)

My name is Jonthan Lister, I've just got into OpenLayers and I'm very
excited by what I can do with it! I'd like to say a big thank you to
everyone who is contributing to the project - thanks!

I've spent a few days putting together a new feature to allow me to
read in SVG files and use them as layers. I've posted the code on
pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/m6b718a2

This adds OpenLayers.Format.SVG to the existing formats, so you can do
something like this:

var svg = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML('SVG','mySVG.svg', {
format:OpenLayers.Format.SVG });

I would really appreciate some feedback on this idea. There are a
number of notes in the comments at the start of the file that go into
some more detail about my thinking about this.

Thanks,


J.
