That is a very cool example ! Some nit picking (just trying to help make examples/snippets even more sexy). The shortest expression to get to the contents of a URL, using only unary selectors is 'https://s.cdpn.io/3/kiwi.svg' asUrl retrieveContents. XMLDomParser's API also has the option #parseURL: so the following would also work XMLDomParser parseURL: 'https://s.cdpn.io/3/kiwi.svg'. I believe that call actually has some additional functionality too.

Hi,
this is not really tested, but you can try to do the following
(installation) a) install XMLParser from catalog b) in monticello browser open Pharo/Athens and load latest version of Athens-SVG package
(usage) Then you import SVG XML using Converter and paint it on a surface, which you convert to Form.
``` contents := (ZnEasy get: 'https://s.cdpn.io/3/kiwi.svg') contents.
xmlDoc := XMLDOMParser parse: contents.
svg := AthensSVGConverter new importXMLDocument: xmlDoc. svg transform: 'scale(0.5)'.
extent := 500 @ 500.
surface := AthensCairoSurface extent: extent. surface drawDuring: [ :aCanvas | svg renderOn: aCanvas ]. surface asForm. ```

I need to load SVG images (for icons) in my application. I've searched my 6.1 image for SVG, but haven't found anything.
Is there a library for loading SVGs? I'd really like to get them directly into instances of Form if possible, but I'm flexible. :)
Thanks!
