I was trying to use 3rd party library for SVG drawing without success. The goal is to draw image based on values gathered from ignition and show it on view indicating progress and dynamic packaging. The library in use was svgwrite. Is there anyone who has used SVG drawing libraries in python before EDIT: I am using perspective. In my understandin when showing the actual SVG it should be on some kind of web server or accessible using url. Ignition Webdev component would be one possibility. ---
