svg animations in qt 4.8.6

[Bjorn.Gurnett]

Hello

We are trying to use animated svg files in a project using qt 4.8.6 using QSvgRenderer. It appears that animations such as

<animateTransform attributeName="transform" type="scale" values="1;0.85;1" begin="0s" dur="0.8s" fill="freeze" repeatCount="indefinite" />

work as expected when compiled. However, animations like

<animate attributeName="opacity" values="0;1;0" begin="0s" dur="0.8s" fill="freeze" repeatCount="indefinite" />

works fine in chrome, but does not work via Qt. I have found only one reference to this problem, but no solution. Is there one?

Thank you

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What reference was it ?

Hello.

it was the following

Thanks

From a quick look at the sources, the animate node are not parsed. However, Qt's officially supports the static features for SVG Tiny 1.2 so I don't know whether animate not falls in this case.

[Bjorn.Gurnett]

Which files are you looking at regarding the parsing?

Thanks

qsvghandler.cpp

Thanks for the help. Seems like a big omission to leave out animate which holds opacity, but never mind.

I don't know what it would take to implement that. Do you have an example of a simple SVG that has that animation ?

This is a simple one that uses hover
