VideoFill - What? Part two of a series

Last post, I covered a quick overview of where VideoFill came from and why I ended up creating it. This post focuses more on what VideoFill is and what it can do - again at an overview/descriptive level (the next post will start focusing on some working examples, and code, I promise!). Experienced Degrafa/Flex users will find this post covers things at a very basic level.

VideoFIll - How and why? Part one of a series.

I recently added a good chunk of fresh code to Degrafa ahead of the 3.2 swc release (later this week). The bulk of that code was for something called VideoFill.

Finally, I upgraded my site

Finally! In between paid work and family time and contributing to degrafa and working on my own projects I found time to make a quick Drupal 6 site. This replaces my old D5 site which was very 'neglected'. I took a 'clean slate' approach and I look forward to giving this blog/site more attention into the future.

Degrafa Composition Browser

This application is the beginnings of my approach to make a large number of open source svg vector assets available as Degrafa based versions to the community of Degrafa users. In short, it's a minimalist approach to locating, selecting and tweaking pre-existing Degrafa visual assets to include in a Flex application.

Degrafa - my part in its development

NOTE: This is a purely personal perspective on my involvement with Degrafa and is a bit rambling in nature. You might find it interesting if you are considering whether or not to start doing open source development, or if you are simply curious about why/how I got involved with Degrafa. If you are looking for official Degrafa information you should go to the degrafa website.

Linearticulator

Linearticulator is a personal serverside SVG transcoding library that I started writing mid-way through 2007 in between paid work. It is entirely written in php, simply because I wanted to learn php at the time. By early 2008 it was accurately translating to actionscript all regular paint and gradients, svg shapes or paths along with transforms.
