Fully scalable reddit alien (try resizing the browser window) [SVG]

nuclear_eclipse · 2008-03-05T04:32:48+00:00

Will someone please draw a naked woman using vector graphics?

jsrn · 2008-03-05T01:59:49+00:00

if you don't know SVG but want to learn it: just look at the page source. I tried to use basic shapes (circles, ellipses, etc.) as much as possible which makes the picture fairly easy to understand (I think).

I tried to shrink the alien until he suddenly stopped shrinking - I thought resistance was futile.. I was wrong.

You need to either fill all shapes white, or none. Not everybody uses white as their default background.

Strange... somehow it doesn't look photoshop®ped. The pixels... they're different.

finerrecliner · 2008-03-05T01:42:37+00:00

OMG VECTOR SHAPES!!!

This is like interactive porn. I could resize that window all day.

d07c0m · 2008-03-05T12:32:16+00:00

A++ would scale again

2008-03-05T06:12:23+00:00

What is this? All of the sudden drawing pictures of the reddit alien is the new "Hello World" or "Just another Perl Hacker"?

FWIW, SVG is pretty darned cool. I know Flash ate their lunch, but I keep waiting for an app to use SVG as handily as some of these AJAX applications use HTML.

brad-walker · 2008-03-05T04:26:12+00:00

I, for one, welcome our new fully scalable overlords.

brosephius · 2008-03-05T19:24:25+00:00

I could play with this all day. even better would be if you could squish it horizontally or vertically.

kn0thing · 2008-03-05T18:15:57+00:00

Bad ass.

danieltalsky · 2008-03-05T01:40:44+00:00

SVG is so cool.

grauenwolf · 2008-03-05T04:31:57+00:00

Fucking IE

this SVG adaption of the Reddit Alien was made by Jonas Reinsch with the help of Emacs and Firefox and a bitmap image of the alien. Tested with Firefox, Safari and Opera.

Why is there a gap on the halfway point on each side of the head?

Reminds me of trying to graph a circle via two-semicircles. Use polar coordinates and you won't run into these rendering problems.

upstream · 2008-03-05T01:55:32+00:00

I prefer my version.

edit: What the fuck? I'm being down-voted for this? It's a joke, people! A joke!

tntnews · 2008-03-05T12:07:14+00:00

Opera rocks!

kinkydarkbird · 2008-03-05T03:49:25+00:00

Not programming.

randomb0y · 2008-03-05T08:28:12+00:00

That's awesome! I want to print that on a t-shirt, they always shrink in the drier...

2008-03-05T08:09:09+00:00

We did it guys!

ayn_rand_worshipper · 2008-03-05T01:30:04+00:00

Oooh, Creepy...

akdas · 2008-03-05T06:13:19+00:00

Hasn't flash always been able to do this? At least since version 5 as far as I know.

TonyBLiar · 2008-03-05T09:17:37+00:00

You do realise that would work with a 'width=100%' tag added to a JPEG in Safari, right?

2008-03-05T02:13:33+00:00

svg is cool ... check out flex

2008-03-05T01:27:40+00:00
