... you don't plan to help with the transition to GObject based DiaRenderer(s).
That said, here is what currently already works (with probably minor build issues on *nix, cause all this work was done on win32) : There is a new DiaRenderer class and a DiaInteractiveRenderer interface defined in libdia. The DiaRenderer implementation lives in libdia, the additional DiaInteractiveRenderer interface is implemented in app/* - RendererGdk is ported to be DiaGdkRenderer - RendererPixmap has vanished. The render to pixmap facility is implemented on top of DiaGdkRenderer (parametrization) - DiaRenderer has default implementations for higher level renderer function like draw_bezier (approximation with draw_line, moved from RendererGdk, *_rounded_*, etc.) - all of object/* is ported to use DiaRenderer - there is a new DiaSvgRenderer in libdia containing almost all the code which can be shared between plug-ins/svg and plug-ins/shape. The respective plug-ins are stripped down to their essential differences (removed code duplication). - part of plug-ins/* (i.e. hpgl, shape, svg, wmf, wpg) is ported. The other plug-ins will be ported soon (want to contribute?). - there is a new export plug-in called 'Pixbuf' which uses DiaGdkRenderer to export to gdk-pixbuf supported bitmap formats (currently only PNG and JPEG). Almost as described in http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2002-June/msg00112.html """ - convert Renderer interface to GObject - change init_*_*ops() to *_class_init, virtual function support (should be done by/with the help of GObject) - lib/render.c includes most of the base DiaRenderer plug-ins/renderer.inc has code to approximate ellipse by arcs app/renderer_gdk.c : has a bezier by line approximation - try to involve original plug-in authors (to at least take a look if something got broken during the transition) """ and http://hans.breuer.org/dia/dia-todo.htm RendererLibart and RendererEPS are next on my list. Following plug-ins/python. If noone else is taking the missing plug-in conversion (cgm, dxf, metapost, pstricks, xfig) they are last.
