Hello,

We are planning to build a simple editor/game for kids. Below are the requirements.

1) Kids should be able to drag the basket (diff shapes) from left tool kit on to the canvas
2) Drag fruits from right hand side toolbar on the basket (only allowed to drop on the basket)
3) XML output should record the basket, shape and size of the basket and the fruit/fruits within.

Here is the URL for the screenshot of a rough prototype.

CAN WE USE DRAW2D TO ACHIEVE THIS?

Thanks,
P

This is exactly what annoys me about open source software, the suggestion that it being open source makes up for the fact it’s completely useless.

Hi,
Why I’m using DHTML and not canvas/IECanvas

1. I have no know who about SVG/canvas
2. I have not time to learn yet another technologie (at the moment).
3. It should be possible that a “normal” developer can extend Draw2D.
4. I need normal HTML Form elements in my diagrams.
5. The current HTML implementation is faster than the SVG stuff (exception is mxGraph!).
6. It should be possible to change the UI via CSS (Draw2D app and host app should have the same look)
7. I want use Draw2D to layout UI elements of an CMS page via drag&drop too.

greetings

There is a few drawing applications out there, I get very excited to see new ones because I think their potential and role will be important in the future. Though most people say, “neat” and just walk away because there’s no real immediate use unless you’re in some sort of architecture or space planning industry….at which point you have better software and no need to really work from or through a web browser. To touch on some questions here that Kris brought up – SVG. SVG is great and I do hope it grows and becomes more compliant…however, that’s the problem. It’s not 100% cross-browser/platform compliant. There were some issues with it and Firefox before…but I believe they are fixed now. I think some other browsers have issues with SVG+Javascript as well. Here’s an open source whiteboard done with SVG and uses CGI. I don’t know about IECansvas, but I do know SVG had/s it’s issues between browsers.

This is very cool. I was wondering why you choose to implement your 2D graphics with html instead of canvas or SVG? With IECanvas, canvas is pretty cross-browser compliant isn’t it?
Also, what license is used for this?

in deed – mxGraph is much better than Draw2D!

…but not open source.

This is the best AJAX 2D canvas and workflow editor I’ve seen. Very responsive even on crappy hardware and old browsers. Well done!

Very nice,

With the same spirit we provide Rialto Studio that is a WYSIWYG tool (http://rialto.application-servers.com/wiki/rialtostudio) to help building rialto GUI.
