Hi, As far as I can understand, it may be useful mainly for standardisation (Open raster ?) and inter-operability : work with other "pen based" applications, but also with other XML-based and web technologies, like SVG. Maybe one day it may be used with _javascript_ and SMIL, and allow some network use... But it's a lot of work, InkML is mostly unknown today, and I can imagine it's useful in theory, but there is no pratical use today. That's a paradox : Standards becomes useful only with implementations ;) If you feel interested, Maybe W3C give some subventions... As a MyPaint, Gimp and Inkscape user, I prefered to share this info, but it's not a feature request... maybe something to keep in mind ;) Cheers, --yagraph Le 18/01/2011 22:27, Martin Renold a écrit : On Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 08:51:43AM +0200, Jon Nordby wrote:On 12 January 2011 09:28, Camille Bissuel <[email protected]> wrote:http://www.w3.org/News/2011.html#entry-8986 http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/CR-InkML-20110111/#OverviewThis is news to me, thanks for bringing it up! Martin, do you think we could replace our strokemaps in MyPaint with this format, or at least import from/export to it? This would give us a well-defined data format that we could put into OpenRaster documents.Interesting stuff. Replacing the MyPaint strokemaps with it would mean to rethink the whole concept; the strokemap is based on black-and-white bitmaps, not on vectors. It sure would be possible to save stroke information, either alongside with the current strokemap, or in place of it, with some effort. But what for? Anyone got plans/ideas how to use this information? |
