Degrafa is a project dedicated to the development of a Declarative Graphics Framework for Flex.

Degrafa Screencast: Using SVG Path Data

Here’s a quick demo showing how you can use SVG path data to draw shapes in Flex via Degrafa. I know it’s a bit hard to see the code because of the video size, but you can at least get a general sense of what’s going on.

What I’m going through here is a pretty manual process that were going to try to eliminate with some import/export and visual tool sets. You can see a slightly larger video here.

    Hey Juan !!

    Cool, just one question, when going to be available Defraga for public use,

    Thanks,

    Guillermo

  2. Hey, you guys should team up with (or at least find some way to work with ) the folks over at Aviary : http://www.creationonthefly.com/

    You said you were looking for a way for designers to build your stuff without touching sourcecode, well it looks like that’s what they are all about as well!

  3. Wow!

    I’m impatient, but can control me. This is a nice job.

    When the framework become public, I will like to help with something.
    Maybe translation to portuguese or another activity.

    Have fun!

    Hey guys !

    Any news about the beta release ?
    We are dying to know when it will be available.

  5. @ Robson and Dominique,

    We are hoping to have a beta release around the end of Oct. At that time we will contact you both to ask if you would like to participate.

    Cheers

    Hi,
    this is looking good! I’m interested participate too. I’m finnish so one language more here.

  8. This is very interesting as I was looking for a way to convert images generated with Vector Magic (http://vectormagic.stanford.edu/) into icons which could be rendered in Flex. This looks like it would do the job as long as the image was fairly simple.

  9. I have put together a small proof of concept of converting images through Vector Magic to Degrafa primitives Go here:

  10. I don’t use flex. But I have already done something similar for svg translation to actionscript.

    However, like I said, I don’t know flex, I just program in actionscript. I’ll see if I can implement a degrafa source code output sometime this month (it shouldn’t be too difficult, I just need to understand how the flex markup version differs from how I would do it in actionscript).

    Some examples here (the animation is very rudimentary here, I am currently working on that part). The only effort required for each of these two examples was a single copy and paste operation:
