Enter the excellent Delphi SVG library written by Bruno Verhue. We've managed to agree on licensing terms that allowed us to make SVG rendering finally happen in List & Label. Usage is absolutely straightforward – if you add a new image to your report, SVG is available just like all the other formats: Of course, you can also use the usual Drawing() designer function to just pass a path via formula. As SVG features some rather complex filters, a 1:1 translation to EMF (which is our current base format) is not really feasible as the result wouldn't be too appealing. Thus, the library generates a raster format in just the right size to make sure no unnecessary memory is used. Here's an example what the result looks like: Since most browsers already support the SVG format anyway, the SVG images are used directly 1:1 for HTML export without conversions.
