SVG capabilities were added to 4D v11 SQL and an SVG component was distributed that allowed developers to manage their SVG documents more easily. With the release of 4D v12 many new features have been added to 4D’s SVG support ranging from text manipulation to gradients and patterns. One of the most powerful new features allows developers to adjust SVG images on the fly. In the past, an SVG document would have to be updated and then re-drawn as an image. Now the image is simply updated and the original SVG document never changes.

This Technical Note explores that new functionality and shows how it can be taken advantage of to produce better, faster, and easier interactive SVG images.
