SVG slideshow, attempt 1
My virtual tarot deck is published in
SVG, but the index
pages are still in
HTML,
which is a problem for people trying to visit
using an SVG-only browser like Batik. So I intend to make
an SVG-powered index page.
My first attempt
uses the SVG image tag and intrinsic animation
to switch between cards. This turns out to be unsatisfactory on
two counts. First, it works by rendering the card and then
displaying the result as if it were a raster image—on my
computer that leaves the screen blank for some seconds while the
off-screen rendring takes place. Second, the resulting image
is not interactive—you lose the feature of the pips cards
where the illustration can be switched on and off.
