Please support the svg 1.1 specifications: svg images are not displayed correctly

[Emasoft]

This library would be very useful but please support the svg 1.1 specifications: all svg images I tried are not displayed correctly. In this incomplete state the library is not usable. Please finish the excellent work that you have started.

Could you provide some images you'd like to view, and bitmaps of what they are supposed to look like?

[Emasoft]

This is how it should look:

You can download the original svg file from my google drive (click on the download button):

Have you tried to display the above svg file with SVGgh? Many things are rendered wrong or not displayed.

I will try to get to it this weekend.

The file you sent makes extensive use of both filters and effects. It'd take a huge effort to incorporate those into the library (I've no clue as to how I'd implement filters in a performant way.) So, I doubt this will be happening anytime soon. Also, the heavily chromed theme your generating just does not fit in with how I use the library, so it wouldn't be of much use to me. Sorry.

Please reconsider. It would be very helpful for many developers to have the option to display real SVG images in iOS applications.
For implementing filters you can take a look at the very complete Batik Svg java library: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/

For an easier debug, here it is a splitted version of the two main buttons svg files, you can download the zip from here:

Here are the screenshots of how each svg file should look:

I've been thinking about this, and if I were to support special effects, I would likely have to render into an offscreen buffer and blit that buffer into the CGContextRef. I'm loathe to do that as PDF's would lose resolution independence and high resolution printing would go away.

I just don't want to do it.

I can improve gradients and maybe add the shadow effect, but I'm not inclined to support SVG special effects.

Take a look at the Chrome svg code, it can be useful to you:
