performance ....

Hi @bartbutenaers
this not really an issue but more a question of how to avoid a problem in the future ...
I want to buil a UI for IoT with your node. In the Backgroud I habe a png rendered by SmartHome3D (about 2MB).
The site will only be accessed from within the local network.

Is it better to place the PNG-code wihtin the SVG-data or is it better to put it as a background image into node-red's dashboard itself?

Would be great to get some help.

Joe

Hi,

I just figured out how to display an underlying bitmap other than including it into the SVG-code.
My Floorplan is a rendered by SmartHome3D and is about 2MB. Because my GUI shoould only be accessed from the local network the size is not a problem for transfering data to the client ;-) But when inserting the PNG-code into my SVG-code Node Red is giving an error that payload is too long ....

My first thought was to set the image as background in the dashboards group. But as I found out I was not able to set the background of the node-red-contrib-ui-svg. Setting the background to transparent works fine for the standard elements like button or slider, but not for the SVG-node. Maybe there is an issue wihtin the CSS that the styles are not exactley set to the values of the standard dashboard-element?

Yesterday I red here
#35
in a post from @andreypopov after clsing the issue about the possibility to use a link from within the SVG-code which works fine for me.

Regards
Joe
