Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] draws a schematic diagram of the HVAC system

Internet Explorer, up to and including IE8, was the only major browser not to provide native SVG support. Native support became partially available in IE9 (the current version of IE, as of March 2011),^[49]including embedding SVG-file into HTML using ?object? tag as well as ?img? tag. IE8 and older require a plug-in to render SVG content. There are a number of plug-ins available to assist, including:

Google Chrome Frame from Google can support all web elements supported by WebKit, including SVG 1.0 and partially SVG 1.1.

Ssrc SVG Plugin from Savarese Software Research Corporation is a plug-in for rendering SVG in Internet Explorer versions 6, 7, and 8 on Windows XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008, and 7. In addition, the plug-in enables Internet Explorer to load Mozilla XUL applications.^[57]

Batik, a widely deployed Java plugin^[58]

BitFlash, an SVG viewer intended for mobile devices, which can be installed as an IE plugin

Ikivo, an SVG viewer intended for mobile devices, which can be installed as an IE plugin

GPAC, targets SVGT 1.2^[59]

Adobe SVG Viewer from Adobe Systems plugin supports most of SVG 1.0/1.1. Zooming and panning of the image are also supported to enable viewing of any area of the SVG lying outside the visible area of its containing window, but scrolling is not supported. Adobe SVG Viewer is available for download from Adobe Systems free of charge.^[60] However, on 1 January 2009, Adobe Systems discontinued support for Adobe SVG Viewer.^[61]

Corel SVG Viewer^[62](discontinued)

Renesis Player for Internet Explorer from examotion GmbH, supports SVG 1.1 on IE 6 and 7 (discontinued)^[63]

Ample SDK Open-Source _javascript_ GUI Framework provides partial support for SVG 1.1, SMIL, DOM and style scripting in Internet Explorer (5.5 - 8.0) too. It is not dependent on any plugins and relies on presence of alternative Vector Graphics format VML in Internet Explorer.

Hi, Hu Jia

Have you tried opening the svg using Windows7 with IE9. It can display the source file but not to plot the diagram using xml format.

I do not know the reason why. I cannot uninstall IE9 and load back the IE8 on Window7. I do not want to do a forced deletion of the IE9 files, as it may cause other problems with the register entries.

My VISTA IE8 can view the svg diagram.

By the way, .svg is the HVAC diagram. .bnd is not a drawing file, although it has all the information to draw the HVAC diagram.

Dear all,

I read the file eplusout.BND is intended to support software which draws a schematic diagram of the HVAC system.

I would like to know which software i could use to get it?

Thank you
