Sorry for what may be a stupid question, but how do you convert a SVG file to Base64?

[Morphoice]

@Shelest theres a conversion tool in the HISE tools menu

[Shelest]

@Morphoice Thank you very much! This was the greatest example of carelessness on my part. I didn't even think to look for it inside HISE. And I didn't find any adequate external tools.

There's also one included in Projucer

Thanks a lot David, I'll take a look.

Na use the one in HISE, it's better.

[Shelest]

@d-healey OK, thank you!

@d-healey what sort of data is this anyways? it looks like Base64 but that shouldn't have dots in them should it? doesnt register as valid Base64. I wonder how to convert it back, should someone want to make changes to the color etc. It didn't work without the color info

[d.healey]

@Morphoice Says Base64 Path, not sure of the details. I don't think colour information is included, you'd assign the colour within your paint routine/laf.

@d-healey in my case the svg was set to white, it wouldnt take color from the paint routine, it still always came out white

Show me your code

[Morphoice]

@d-healey it's all there in the first post, no more to it

[d.healey]

@Morphoice I don't see anywhere in that code where you're setting a color though

[Morphoice]

@d-healey I didn't because it wasn't changing the color, so i removed it. It was really just the example from the docs

[d.healey]

@Morphoice Oh interesting, I just realised you're using g.drawSVG. I've never used that function I always use drawPath or fillPath, which take the colour. But it seems drawSVG doesn't.

[Morphoice]

@d-healey I assume the path information is the same? I remember during conversion that sometimes the tool needs only the path info, sometimes it takes the complete svg... I really can't tell when it works and when it doesn't I was just glad it went well with the icons. non-connected paths or things with multiple paths sometimes break. I had a logo once where all letters worked fine, one just wouldnt

Not necessarily. I just tried it with your sine icon and it doesn't work.

@d-healey g.drawSVG takes the colour inside the SVG and cannot be overwritten (what a pity...)

(what a pity...)

That's probably a good thing, no? Does it work with multi-colour SVGs?

[Morphoice]

@ustk makes sense. however, I can supply the SVG markup if someone needs to make changes to the color, I'll append it to the post later
