SVG Mark

This feature would consist in adding an SVG mark to the set of existing marks. It would allow the display of arbitrary SVG content on a visual. This would be particularly useful for rich text annotations containing:

• Different font families
• Different font colors
• Different font sizes
• Font icons
• Additional cosmetic decorations

An SVG mark would have the following properties:

• content
• width
• height
• x (for the bottom left corner)
• y (for the bottom left corner)

Ideally, it should be possible to customize the displayed content in relation to the visual’s data using JavaScript’s template literals. The proper way to bind data to the SVG content has yet to be defined.

STOIC is happy to contribute some resources to implement this feature once it has been thoroughly discussed and specified.

Thanks for the suggestion! However, an SVG mark is not something we plan to add, given both the likely implementation complexity/bloat and our desire to support multiple rendering options in a relatively straightforward fashion.

I understand. Thank you for your consideration.
