Overview

the Drawing API is an API module that allows developers to define vector graphics in a structured array format (resembling the Forms API). It was aimed at bringing SVG display closer to developers, taking over the rendering part so that graphics can be created more easily.

Description

Although the module was done for Drupal 5 and thanks to danielb reworked for Drupal 6, there are many features that still wait for implementation (such as views integration). Although Drawing doesn't only support SVG as its output format I think that improving that toolkit would be still beneficial as a whole, as IE 9 is promised to have native SVG support.

Current feature requests include
- views display plugin
- Drupal 7 compatibility
- research the options of JavaScript interaction with SVG
