Drawing with rails

I was just wondering if anyone had any experience drawing images with
rails. I know this isn’t rails per se but I have come to really enjoy
posting in this forum.

So far I have found to different systems for achieving what I need to
do.

SVG:

and

Canvas:

Has anyone used these systems?
Any got ideas about drawing with code?

Hey Stewart,

I too am looking into this… I found that the SVG approach seems to be
more standards based and more widely supported… But I haven’t got too
far yet… If you’ve made any progress here, would you post back with
how you proceeded?

Neither of which are very widely supported. Your best bet is probably
RMagick since it generates image any browser can display.

You may be able to use x3d if you want 3d stuff.

There should be a way you can get it to read an xml file.

smil http://www.w3.org/ may also be a good one if you want animated
stuff. Again you should be able to get it to read an xml file
