Yes, Cairo is available without X11. It comes with recent versions of GTK, but is available as a completely separate standalone library. >From http://www.cairographics.org/download/ (Windows): "You want "cairo-1.4.8.zip", the binary distribution at "libpng 1.2.8", and "Zlib 1.2.3" (you can search on those strings to find them in the page). That should be it. Just pop libcairo-2.dll, libpng13.dll and zlib1.dll into your working directory or system PATH, and away you go!" > > I can of course post code too, if anyone would be interested in actually > > trying it. > > The code would certainly be useful. +1 -- Brad Douglas <rez touchofmadness com> KB8UYR/6 Address: 37.493,-121.924 / WGS84 National Map Corps #TNMC-3785 _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@grass.itc.it http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
