Bezier

[Anonymous]

Is there a possibility that Express Viewer will support beziers!? Otherwise
we have to split them in seperate straight lines...

Not likely. That part of the DWF toolkit was not implemented.

Unfortunately no, we haven't implemented beziers in DWF as yet. Until we do
so, you'll have to tessellate to lines or arc segments.

Dear all,

Before I asked about the availability of beziers in EV. Not available...
only in VoloView. So I implemented the conversion from bezier to a simple
polyline containing straight lines only.
I was wondering if there is any possibility to make something like this
pseudocode in DWF (somekind of 'scripting'):

if (viewer == voloview) make_real_bezier();
else make_approximation_with_polyline;

Kind regards,

EV is not an editor and so it has no functionality for editing DWFs. DWF is
an open format and Autodesk provides a toolkit for creating DWFs. The
current toolkit available on the web site is for DWF 5.5 (single sheet
only), but the new 6.0 Toolkit will be available soon.

FWIW, we are not planning on introducing bezier objects in the DWF 6 format
at this time.

Okay, not implemending is not a huge problem but will there be a possibility
to make something like an IF-statement in the DWF so if it's loaded in
VoloView the beziers will be displayed and otherwise the proximation. Both
will be available in the DWF of course but only one is shown, depending on
the viewer.
I'm talking about adding it manually to an textbased (readable for the human
eye) DWF file...

No I don't think that will happen. I think since the "DWF toolkit" does not
have the ability to do the Beziers, and almost all of the applications that
read and write DWF files use the DWF toolkit, then there is no point in
having the IF-statement. DWF is not like a DWG with proxy graphics. The
premise of the DWF format is that it is ready to be rendered.
