[reportlab-users] Fwd: SVG for canvas.drawInlineImage

[Robin Becker]

Hi Arkadi,

I think that inline image probably needs to be a real bitmap image since it requires bitmap data. In the canvas inline 
means only appears once and is just an optimization since it saves a few bytes over defining an image as re-usable. The 
Image flowable and similar also just handle bitmaps. We don't have a svg-->bitmap routine at present.

If are already using some flowable to render svg for stories then it eventually renders to the canvas using a drawOn 
method. It should be possible to get the svg to draw directly to the canvas without using all the platypus machinery.
