Love and SVG files?

Post by ZauberParacelsus »

Has anyone written any code for loading SVG files with Love2D? Or is this something supported natively by Love2D with the image loader? The wiki doesn't specify which image formats are supported.

Hmm.. taking a look I can't seem to find what specific file formats are supported either. I do believe I've heard that vector formats are not supported though, so no SVG.

It's called LÖVE, not Love2D.

LÖVE uses DevIL for loading/saving raster images only. Vector support would be nice, but then you need extra Lua API to adjust points, curves, fills, etc, etc. I'm not sure if there's much demand for such machinery.

There is a PHP-script that can convert simple SVG images to Lua tables.

Here: https://github.com/gvx/space/blob/maste ... r.php#L162

Note: I didn't write it, although it was for a project of mine. The author was CyaNox, from who I haven't heard in a long time.
