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.

The idea is to make Degrafa compositions available in a meaningful way: searchable by tags, viewable by source code, and 'editable' in a basic design-view before adding them to local Flex projects.

At some point I will also investigate the ability to derive state based coding by selecting different (but hopefully-in most cases- similar) compositions and generating a single mxml component with Degrafa's state switching support.

At the moment this application does not achieve all these things. It is pre-alpha, but it currently contains at least 2000 viable (i.e. bug-free rendering in degrafa) vector icons from the Oxygen icons project.

There are currently a few translation and rendering bugs which show up on a small proportion of the Oxygen icons, but there are also some flash player limits (overlapping transparent layers in the player) being hit with some icons, particularly in the weather category of icons at their native scale (using degrafa scaling to scale up the drawn composition can often alleviate this).  Once the Oxygen icons as a whole are rendering as best they can be, I will make a complete archive version downloadable as a Degrafa version of the Oxygen icons library (at least for one of its revisions- oxygen continues to be under active development). The oxygen icons are available under LGPL terms with clarifcation in the documentation about use of the icons as part of a user interface. Beyond the oxygen icons I expect to add another 10000+ vector images from the OpenClipart public domain svg library.

Mostly at this point I'm using this tool in its current state to verify what I need to work on in other things (checking for bugs and limits in Degrafa, and for testing/bug identification with my SVG transcoder, linearticulator), but for those that want them, most of the oxygen icons are available now in Degrafa mxml via this application (a recent build of Degrafa may be required for some features in some of the icon compositions). The licence for the Oxygen Icons is included in the individual icon downloads or is accessible in the editing area by pressing one of the buttons. In terms of what this application will eventually do it's very minimalist at the moment, but this application will get much better.
