I am trying to change the code but it is complex (Creating a Graphics2D just for the reading...), it seems me easiest to use SVG for not stuck on this item.

The way it brings the shapes in from a PDF file is quite complex. I have used reflection to hack the PDFRenderer library.
But I think you can just get the AlcShape object array then call getPoints() to get the raw outline points.

You are most welcome to have a play with the Evolve Shapes, it's in the svn.

Hi,
For those interested, I just made a fuller version of the tool.

Here's some infos so that everything works properly :
- This version is capable of saving configurations, for this, it must exist a directory 'configurations' in the directory Alchemy.
- Additional shapes can be added by placing PDF or SVG* files at the root of the 'shapes' directory (not in a sub-directory).
- Do not forget to delete the old version before installing this one.

A true doc should happen quickly, it must just that I find time to write it ;) . Besides, if someone is available to a translation French/English that he does not hesitate to contact me.

* use SVG files, if a full version of the Batik API is installed (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/).

Hi,
Here the first version of the documentation tool (for now in French), but I have no doubt that it exists in the user community Alchemy someone more competent than me to deal with the translation.
