Hi, I would like to make cairo a dependency of goffice HEAD.
I'm working on the graph cairo renderer for quite some time now, and is in good shape with just one known regression with respect to libart/gnomeprint/svg renderers ( see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341993 ). It even adds some nice additionnal features like mutiline labels in svg export, pretty log axis labels, and ps/pdf export. This would also allow me to use the new GOPalette/GOSelector widgets. They're prettier than GOCombo, use less code, support drag and drop and make switching objects in guru dialog snappier (and with a bit of work, it will be possible to replace completely GOCombo and derivated widgets). This new dependency can be added without requiring a newer version of gtk+, which means we can keep gtk+ 2.6 (That's better for the maemo port of gnumeric, where gtk+ > 2.6 is not possible yet). If it's ok, I'll change configure file in order to add a hard dependency to cairo 1.2.0 (which is a version with acceptable ps/pdf/svg backends). Emmanuel. _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
