Creating SVG graphics on the fly in vb 6.0

[jfrost10]

Hey gang,

Has anyone done or know hot to create SVG graphics on the fly in vb 6.0?

What we'd like to do is have a way to generate graphics dynamically for some publications that we're putting out.

i.e. One client wants their footer to say something, then three months later wants to change it.

Instead of having us do the graphic change (which can be bothersome for multiple client requests) we give them the ability to change the data displayed without having to actually touch the graphics ourselves.

I'm thinking that SVG would be the best to do for this, but not sure if vb6.0 is equipped to handle it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

D'Arcy

I don't know if this will help or not, but you can download the SVG viewer from Adobe at the following address which contains their proprietary SVG ocx. Here is the address if anyone's interested.

ADoozer: SVG is a new graphic standard built with xml, literally. The file is one big mathematical equation built with xml tags. Its vector based, which means that the image looks excellent as well as identical at all sizes.

Wraygun: Thanks for the link to the viewer. I've used it before for a web application, not sure if it'll be useful in the desktop. Good to have the link though

Thanks again,
