Hi, on development.openoffice.org/todo.html I read that you are still interested in proper vector graphics import into OpenOffice.org. This is what I am also interested (as a prospective user) However, some time ago I did some work in vector graphics reading, especially in the field of the Adobe Illustrator file format. AI is some kind of simplified EPS, where there exist only a limited amount of operators, as opposed to full EPS, which can have a arbitrary set of operators.
In connection with ghostscript and its eps2ai script the code was used to import rather arbitrary EPS files into the application (Karbon as part of KOffice). Unfortunately the work on the application is currently sleeping so there is not much sense in implementing more parts of the AI file format. Perhaps you are interested in looking at this code, which is at http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/koffice/filters/karbon/ai/ There exist some additionaly work, but this is currently on a more conceptual phase, and currently implemented in Ruby, at http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdenonbeta/opal/ruby/import/ai/ I would be interested in seeing EPS import support for OpenOffice.org, however, I currently have not the time to do this for myself. Additionally, I was not yet successful to setup a build system for oo.o.
