Hi,
I just released JPluck G 1.0. JPluck G is a command-line tool for generating an image gallery as a Plucker document from a directory of JPG, GIF, PNG and SVG files. While it is meant only as a tool for testing image conversions, it is pretty useful in its own right. Because of its limited appeal and scope JPluck G will not be maintained much, though. This release is an updated version of the command-line Gallery that was bundled with JPluck prior to 0.8.6. New in this version is the ability to handle SVG images, courtesy of the Batik toolkit from Apache. (The inclusion of Batik also explains the rather large distribution size.) SVG image conversion is a particularly useful feature and might find its way into a future release of JPluck X. Because SVG graphics are scalable they can be optimized for handheld display. An example would be downloading weather information in XML format and rendering the data as a graphic. (Think of a thermometer and sunny/rainy/cloudy icons.) You can download JPluck G and some sample galleries to try out here: http://jpluck.sourceforge.net/download.html Let me know what you think.

Do not discuss JPluck technical issues on the Plucker mailing lists. _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
