My inkscape output mostly works, but it puts stroke and fill information into a style attribute of
the path tag, like so <path style="fill:#FFFFFF; stroke:#00FF00" ... />. It's very similar to the
html style tag.

This is an enhancement, I am using Processing 0135.

Y'know, I had second thoughts about this. I see that it's not part of SVG 1.1 Tiny. It sounds like
this should be part of the larger future enhancement of Candy SVG that you're talking about.

i think ricard is looking into it; we'll have to see how complicated it is
to support. but you're correct that not being in svg tiny is a strike
against it.

Patch to support some style

This is a patch that tries to add some support of the svg style attribute. I
haven't been able to try this patch since my processing from svn does not work
properly, I will try to fix this and try it. Maybe someone can give it a try
and let me know if it works.

This patch does not implement the fill-opacity and stroke-opacity yet. Will
have to make a bit more of changes to support those.

Test case for the style attribute

honest, svn should be working just fine (bug #772). there's nothing in my
local repository that has not been checked in. perhaps try doing a fresh
checkout of the source and see if that fixes things.

can you post a .java file? eclipse is choking on the patch (i've probably
changed too much since you made this).

PMatrix.java that adds skewX and skewY

Addition of skewX and skewY to PMatrix that will help SVG support.

SVG.java adds better support for transform, fill-opacity, stroke-opacity,
opacity and style

Here is an updated SVG.java that adds better support to the following
attributes:
* transform
* fill-opacity
* stroke-opacity
* opacity
* style

Test case for the transform support

Sorry for the delay, I was in Budapest a bit disconnected due to project
meetings for my PhD, and work goes first.

I attached the .java files (for revision 4027) and another test case. The
old patch was incorrect.

I'm glad my Processing is now working! However I would be happy if you
test this to see if it works as expected (in my computer it does) but a lot
has changed, and I only have a few test SVGs.

Let me know if any further changes are needed.

re-assigning the bug to myself so that i get the updates about it.

If someone can please update this code for more recent releases of
Processing (0149+), I'd love to add this patch to PShapeSVG.

edit]
New PShapeSVG.java that correctly parses style properties, this should make it
more compatible with Inkscape

edit]
Testing sketch that I used.

I ported the code that I had prepared for SVG.java to PShapeSVG.java. I
attached the new PShapeSVG.java version and a test sketch.

Let me know if you have any problems with this.

Great! Thanks for the update. I've added the changes for 0154.
