loadShape() throwing error when loading svg

Processing Coding Questions
1

Hi,

I struggle with loadshape() when loading certain svg files. the files are created in icograms.com, and are perfectly readable in browsers and in inkscape.

parsed: m,51.4,41.9,c,0,.1,-.1.2,-.2.1,s,-.2,-.2,-.2,-.4.1,-.2.2,-.1,c
unparsed: .1.2.2.3.2.4,z
RuntimeException: shape command not handled: .1.2.2.3.2.4

It appears that loadshape works fine for certain elements of the svg, but when I add certain other elements, it throws error. In the below example it throws error because of the fountain. When I load the same svg with just the green, it works fine.

I run on processing 3.5.3 on windows 10.

My (highly complex) code:

void setup() {
size(1000, 1000);
background(255);
noLoop();
}

void draw() {
PShape test;
test = loadShape(“1.svg”);
shape(test,10,10);
}

The SVG in question you find here:

Appreciate any thoughts on how to solve this.

thanks,
Peter

left down playground picture?
this is not shown if you just view it…
the different programs can not all features, mostly ignore it,
ending as a warning in processing, but that seems to be a bad one

could you just download as a png and use PImage?
or convert it?
worst case view it and make a screen shot…
