I second the notion that affine transformations on images would be useful. There are a lot of things one can do with this, such as make pseudo-perspective projections of texture-mapped rectangles. This is exactly one of the things that I routinely do in Inkscape.
I'm reasonably sure Cairo supports arbitrary affine transformations when drawing image data -- I don't know about Agg. -Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
