Support exporting rotation centers to xaml
Migrated from https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1419229 (2015) (heavily paraphrased/almost verbatim quotes from issue)
What?
Export rotation centers (defined by inkscape:transform-center-y
and inkscape:transform-center-x
) to xaml (presumably using xaml's RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5"
)
Why?
This would help with dynamic scenes (a good use for exporting to xaml)
See: https://vimeo.com/69765426 All those aircraft gauges are created in Inkscape, exported to xaml, and used inside the Unity game engine using the NoesisGUI plugin, which renders the xaml
Manually inserting the rotation centers is tedious and it breaks the workflow to go back to the svg to change things. XAML is a great format to create dynamic user interfaces but unfortunately there are no editors out there as powerful as Inkscape. Blend is only good for standard UI design and lacks advanced shape editing. Illustrator doesn't even support named shapes so you can't make that dynamic.
