With this function you can load a SVG document from four sources :
|
Check the SVG file source radio button. Select the svg file with the browse button and load it.
If the document does not contains html audio/video controls, and if its size is different than (100%,100%), then the document can be edited :
with its real size, and scrollbars if needed
or with an adjusted size to the drawsvg window.
Otherwise, the document is edited with its defined size and this option is disabled.
This mode allows to set an SVG from an image. The dimensions and the coordinate system of the document are identical to the image.
Check the image file source radio button. Select the image file with the browse button and load it.
By default, the document is edited with the size of the image.
