Objective C and SVG - ios

I am receiving a SVG back from our server that I need to display. What the server is returning is:
preview = "<svg xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMedYMed meet\" viewBox=\"-10756457.3242036 -5943062.39021874 1277.60796701722 1244.16676712781\">\n <path d=\"M -10756407.324203580617905 -5942993.280961670912802 L -10756388.214946510270238 -5941880.166737286373973 -10755229.716236563399434 -5941868.223451617173851 -10755244.048179365694523 -5942728.140019812621176 -10755394.533578801900148 -5942730.528676947578788 -10755396.922235935926437 -5943012.390218744985759 -10755578.460178112611175 -5943005.224247347563505 -10755671.617806335911155 -5942995.669618809595704 -10755764.775434559211135 -5943005.224247347563505 -10755845.98977711237967 -5942990.892304535955191 -10755958.256662406027317 -5943000.446933076716959 -10756166.069833055138588 -5943002.835590209811926 -10756216.231632867828012 -5942998.058275939896703 -10756261.616118412464857 -5942990.892304535955191 -10756347.607775231823325 -5943002.835590209811926 Z\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"black\" stroke=\"black\">\n </path>\n</svg>";
I am looking at the library the SVGKit. I'm not exactly sure what I can do with this information. Can SVGKit load this type of data or does it need to be a local SVG file?
We want to use this SVG cause its a lot smaller then a .png and the server is returning lots of them.
Any ideas on what I can do?

According to the documentation you can load an SVG file from data which is what you have.

IOS Xamarin can't read XML File

So I've search everywhere. Xamarin Docs, goggle, here, W3.
All I need to do is store some small data in an XML file.
I created the XML, got the code lined up and when i go to build it.
IOS.....Can't find file.
I've googled the answer countless times, and they all say the same thing, Make sure it is set as Content or make sure it is "Embedded Resource" I've tried it both ways, It can't find the file to access it. Is IOS really that stupid? No issues in Android, took it 30 secs. Add it to the Assets and boom there it is.
But How to get IOS to Recognize xml file(find it)?
the code is this
XDocuent doc = new XDocument.Load("StoredLogs.xml") <that line is where it throws the error, through all the break points that it is.
After this it steps through a loop to bind the data in the xml to an object
Logs a.Id = x.Element("Id).Value......
a.name......... and so
All i want is basic offline storage.
iOS really that stupid?
Yes :P
When you add the XML file as an EmbeddedResource, you need to read it from the assembly instead of the path
For example:
var readme = typeof(NameSpace.App).GetTypeInfo().Assembly
.GetManifestResourceStrean("resourcename.xml");
using (var sr = new StreamReader(readme)) {
//Read the stream
}

Rails/Ruby save image as base64 and access it in the views

I would like to know can we convert a image into base64 and save it in a database and access it in the views.
I have searched google and stackoverflow, all of them starts from middle like encoding or displaying the image.
I need to know how can we convert a image url/path(lets say i store image inside my app and its url stored in column)
How to encode it as base64 before saving(should we convert to base64 first and save in db?).
How to display it in the views
You can split this task to three or four steps:
getting the image
encoding to base64
storing it in database (optionaly)
display it in views
Getting the image
From Assets pipeline
If you are using Rails asset pipeline for that, you can use Rails.application.assets hash to get to image: Rails.application.assets['image_name.png'].to_s will give you the content of image_name.png image.
from file - local or by url
Here is the question about that on StackOverflow.
encode
Base64 Ruby module docs tells how to use Base64 encoding in Ruby:
Base64.strict_encode64(your_content_here)
NOTE: in this case strict_encode64 is preferrable over just encode64 because it doesn't add any newlines. (credit goes to Sergey Mell for pointing that out)
From docs:
encode64 - ... Line feeds are added to every 60 encoded characters.
strict_encode64 - ... No line feeds are added.
Store it in database (optionaly)
I suggest you to create a separate ActiveRecord model for that, with field of type text to keep base64 representation of image.
Display it in views
You can provide data-url to src attribute of img tag, so, the browser will decode image from base64 and display it just like regular image:
<img src="data:image/png;base64,YOUR_BASE64_HERE"/>
Don't forget to change image format to whatever format you are using in data:image/png section.
UPDATE (2018-08-22): I have tried to use urlsafe_encode64, as suggested by Xornand, and for me it produces the output that is not recognized as image by the browser.
Tried in both Firefox 61.0.2 and Chromium 68.0.3440.106.
For the sake of reference and to enable experimentation, here are results themselves.
Image used as "original" (resized it to be even more small to reduce the size of base64 output):

open office crashes after some time giving garbled font in converted PDF

We are converting word to pdf using the openoffice(3.4.1 version) in java with JODConverter.
below is the code used.
OpenOfficeConnection connection =
new SocketOpenOfficeConnection(2100);
try
{
connection.connect();
DocumentConverter converter =
new OpenOfficeDocumentConverter(connection);
converter.convert(inputFile, outputFile);
connection.disconnect();
return "Sucess " + DestinationPath + DestinationFileName;
}
catch (Exception localException1) {
}
The problem is that after random no of days the converted PDF contains the garbled fonts.
like # # ! $ $ " % &
The only solution we have so far is to restart the server. System guys are saying the the problem is with Open Office.
We are using open office to convert the document since it converts the doc files exactly including all the formatting and table structure.
what could be the solution to this.
So OpenOffice can be a little temperamental when running on a server, especially as it isn't multi-threaded and you end up having to run a pool of OpenOffice processes - see How can I use OpenOffice in server mode as a multithreaded service?.
Added to that often the rendering is off when converting to PDF - see https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=68865 which is why you may want to consider using a conversion service to automate the conversion tasks for you ?
For complete transparency I work for Zamzar (an online file conversion service), we have recently released a developer API - https://developers.zamzar.com/ that allows you to convert between a multitude of file types, specifically applicable to you here in that we support both doc and docx to pdf with little or not loss in the way the PDF is rendered. It maybe worth a look to see if this is a better alternative to trying to run your own solution through OpenOffice on a server.

Resize / Convert an image from a stream with ImageResizer

I'm trying to figure out how to convert an image from a stream with ImageResizer (http://imageresizing.net/).
I have tried something like this.
Stream s = WebRequest.Create("http://example.com/resources/gfx/unnamed.webp").GetResponse().GetResponseStream();
ImageBuilder.Current.Build(s, "~/resources/gfx/photo3.png", new ResizeSettings("format=png"));
But i just get the error
"File may be corrupted, empty, or may contain a PNG image with a single dimension greater than 65,535 pixels."
When i do
using (Stream output = File.OpenWrite(Server.MapPath("~/resources/gfx/test.webp")))
using (Stream input = WebRequest.Create("http:///example.com/resources/gfx/unnamed.webp").GetResponse().GetResponseStream()) {
input.CopyTo(output);
}
ImageBuilder.Current.Build("~/resources/gfx/test.webp", "~/resources/gfx/photo3.png",
new ResizeSettings("format=png"));
It works fine, am i'm missing something here?
It's possible that 'output' has not been flushed to disk. .NET 4+ doesn't guarantee the file's actually written to disk just because you disposed the stream.
I assume you have the ImageResizer.Plugins.WebP plugin installed?

How to write a simple .txt content processor in XNA?

I don't really understand how Content importer/processor works in XNA.
I need to read a text file (Content/levels/level1.txt) of the form:
x x
x x
x x
where x's are just integers, into an int[,] array.
Any tips on writting a SIMPLE .txt importer??? By searching google/msdn I only found .x/.fbx file importer examples. And they seem too complicated.
Do you actually need to process the text file? If not, then you can probably skip most of the content pipeline.
Something like:
string filename = "Content/TextFiles/sometext.txt";
string path = Path.Combine(StorageContainer.TitleLocation, filename);
string lineOfText;
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(path);
while ((lineOfText = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
// do something
}
Also, be sure to set the "Build Action" to "None" and the "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy if newer" on the text files you've added. This tells the content pipeline not to compile the text file but rather copy it to the output directory for use as is.
I got this (more or less) from the RacingGame sample provided by Microsoft. It foregoes much of the content pipeline and simply loads and processes text files (XML) for much of its level data.
XNA 4.0 uses
System.IO.Stream stream = TitleContainer.OpenStream("tilename.txt");
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb199094.aspx and also http://blogs.msdn.com/b/shawnhar/archive/2010/12/09/reading-files-in-xna-game-studio-4-0.aspx
There doesn't seem to be a lot of info out there, but this blog post does indicate how you can load .txt files through code using XNA.
Hopefully this can help you get the file into memory, from there it should be straightforward to parse it in any way you like.
XNA 3.0 - Reading Text Files on the Xbox
http://www.ziggyware.com/readarticle.php?article_id=69 is probably a good place to start. It covers creating a basic content processor.
