Question about SVG support in TppImage

bohdan

Hi there,

Can TppImage in Delphi work with SVG files? I can see that TImage supports SVG, but the GraphicType property in TppImage doesn't seem to include SVG.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Bohdan,

SVG is currently not natively supported by the DBImage in ReportBuilder. This is primarily due to the fact that the TSkSvgGraphic class is located in the implementation section of the Vcl.Skia unit making it inaccessible to our graphic-type registration architecture. We are in the process of developing a work-around to enable this for a future release.

Currently it is possible to manually load SVG data into the TPicture of the TppImage component.

uses 
Vcl.Skia;
...
procedure TForm2.ppImage1Print(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ppImage1.Picture.LoadFromFile('sample.svg');
  //ppImage1.Picture.LoadFromStream(myDBData); //if loading from DB

end;
