how easy is it to draw custom shapes via SVG or canvas across compose-desktop and android ?
(that kinda the center UI for a thing i might want to build.. but i also want to explose compose for desktop)

i think in milestone 2 they added support for the same svgs across android/desktop

[Nikky]

cool do you know if i can make them interactive? eg. have shapes clickable ?

[Nikky]

sounds exciting though

[zsperske]

i'm not sure tbh. good luck!

It's android vector drawables. You have to convert svg to that format before rendering.

i am currently generating SVG and updating content of a SVG tag.. i can switch this to generate int oa different format as long as it can do circles and lines

seems like this will be a bit more work than just plugging my SVG code in, expecially since i need to be able to click on elements

Elements in the SVG?! Yeah might have to draw it manually then.

I also happen to be interested in SVG parsing in compose-desktop. Lemme know if/when you have GitHub repo.
