I have started a new project in which I want to include the option of searching some text strings within SVG formatted image in my web page. According to my knowledge this is not possible in any raster image format. That is why I am using xml based SVG image format. This kind of feature is already available in inkscape (a software to draw svg images) and www. wikipathways.com, where an user can search a text string inside the image.
Can anybody tell me how I can include this feature in my webpage? And also I want highlight that particular matched string.
Dear saikat,
you need to use a javascript library to search/modify on the client browser an svg like the following: http://code.google.com/p/svg-edit/
If you need some examples of use, the owncloud app has embedded in it the editing feature of svg files (www.owncloud.org).
Obviously all these piece of software are opensource, so you can take a tour inside to get out of the box what you really need.
hope this helps.
Best regards,
sergio.
