I have been reading the Factor documentation. I think that Factor is likely not
capable of that slide-rule program that I described. I can write code to
generate SVG in any language (including Forth), but I need some way to turn
that SVG into an image that can be displayed on the screen. I don't see
anything in the Factor library that can do this. I found some SVG functions,
but they seemed to be used for generating SVG. That is somewhat helpful, but
*using* the SVG is what I need.
I have a book on PyQT (the Python bindings for QT from TrollTech), and their
library does provide a function for converting an SVG file into an image that
can be displayed on the screen. I would really prefer to use Factor rather than
Python though, as I like Factor and I already know some Factor --- but I need
to be able to work with SVG.
One other question --- what editor do you guys prefer on Linux for working with
Factor code? Has anybody written Factor support, such as syntax-coloring, for
any editor?
