Stef, Thanks, that helps. Where does post script fit into it? I am getting a few steps ahead of myself here, but some day it would be important to be able to print on Linux. Sooner than that, it would be nice to do something similar to passing a Windows HDC into a function in a DLL to speed up loops over lots of numbers. If nothing else, the primitives should serve as examples for anything I find missing.
One small frustration/irony has been that I now end up using code to turn what should be double arrays into ordinary collections of objects then into text to shove into gnuplot. There are some hints that I might be able to do better, but for now, the graphics from gnuplot are worth looking the other way :) Bill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stéphane Ducasse Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2010 4:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] [Moose-dev] rome rome is a new api for rendering image and text. the idea is to offer a common api and several backends one would balloon another would be cairo/pango a third one could be morphic30 primitives the idea is to get rome working with the vm primitives and/or balloon then to get it working with cairo via the ROME plugin then we could start to migrate the system to use this api.
