Thanks a lot, Christiaan. That was exactly what I needed to know. (Whether it would have been easy to add Core Image / Core Animation effects to PDFView or not, while extending PDFView to horizontal layout. Evidently, no.) It's a kind of relief to know that it isn't yet too easy to. Now it's easier for me to push the idea still back for some time and graduate, finally, in the meanwhile :) And I still hope that Leopard brings some magic that makes this a bit easier... > So did you have a working viewer then, or is this just a mockup?

We did have "a working viewer" (though imported PDFs were converted into images and shown only as such), but I doubt that any member of the research group has anymore a compileable and running copy of it. I was mostly working only with the very top level user interface code only and had very little technical knowledge of the engine behind. Anyway, It's was done on Linux and I the architecture behind it was so complicated that I believe that only the idea is really reusable ;) (The graphics engine was written in native C++, OpenGL and nVidia code, in the between was architectural interface layer written in Java and on the top was application and interaction code written in Python...) Cheers, Asko P.S. I forgot to, at first, to thank You all for Skim, as it's already the best available PDF reader for me :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
