Hello Pd-World,

just realised that it's pretty easy to draw Pd objects with any amount
of in/outlets in SVG by just using 2 rectangles. C o.O l!

the key SVG properties are "stroke-dasharray" and "stroke-dashoffset"

a picture tells thousand words -> pd-object-in-svg.png

as i don't need this (at least not ATM) i didn't bother with the maths,
so this picture is the only thing i can offer, for now...

yet another tinkerer

P.S. if there's interest, it would probably be useful to get in contact
with http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2000Oct/0032.html (as
that's the only reference i could find about the following) to at least
get a real proposal for "stroke-align" to W3C way. with stroke-align we
could easily position the in/outlets _inside_ the box, and not just on
the center of vector...
