[webkit-help] [webkit-dev] SVG access for native application

[Julien Chaffraix]

Please don't cross post to webkit-dev as this is clearly not a webkit
development question.

SVG is not build as an independent library thus you would have to use
the whole WebKit engine if you want to go this route. As you are just
interested in painting SVG, any port should do the trick. You would
need to open your SVG file in WebKit and let it draw (this is port
specific so look at your port API).

If you just want an SVG library, librsvg or batik seems like good alternatives.

Hope it helps,
