I visited the zoo, brought my camera, shot a parrot (Don’t worry he is still living, I don’t go back to the petshop to reclaim.)

I reduced colors in Gimp, saved as PNG, did a bit tracing in Inkscape with Potrace and here is the SVG Parrot from Amsterdam!

Format is SVGZ, weight ca 60kb.
Opera can show svg as IMG src, I dunno about other browers, but it would be nice if they can. It’s easy to upload and insert in a WordPress blog that way.

SVG Gradient Background in Opera (9.6)

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Intro

There is a lot going on in the CSS3 and HTML5 development. Rounded borders (radius) and multi-image backgrounds are both supported in latest Safari/Webkit and Firefox beta’s. Opera has always been a pioneer with CSS and SVG support and has chosen to walk a more interesting road. Opera gives you the opportunity to treat SVG objects as any other image including background image declared in CSS. An SVG-object as a background options gives you all the power of radius and multi-image background plus a lot more: stars, ellipse, triangles, multi-images, animated background and easy javascript driven user customisable backgrounds.

Examples

Let’s have some examples.

SVG backgrounds are really nice and powerful. SVG can be used for gradients, rounded corners, watermarks, graphics and even animated backgrounds. SVG can also be used for list style images for and <li> elements in ordered and unordered lists.

There is a bug though. If you give a div a border there are rendering issues as you can see here.
