Should nsIRenderingContext be on this list, or will it be discussed some other time? Having a frozen drawing interface would be very useful for people who are using the mozilla framework to develop applications in an XP environment. Currently we have nsIGraphics, but this is very limited. I think it might be possible to IDLify nsIRenderingContext or provide an IDL interface with most of these functions. For example, if one wanted to implement a cross-platform plugin system, rather than the current system that uses platform-specific API's, a frozen drawing interface would be necessary. (I'm actually tinkering with a XUL plugin system for a custom application). ** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** ** Benjamin Smedberg, Director of Music ** ** St. Patrick's Church, Washington D.C. ** ** VOX 202-347-2713 x102 - FAX 202-347-1401 ** ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** ** "Soli Deo Gloria" ** ** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **
