Hello Svenn,
Will there be some kind of scripting available in the Cairo version?
Tcl is something I use in other eda tools.
I haven't looked closely at this code yet, so I don't know how deeply
it hooks into the Cairo library. But I was able to get an OpenGL
interface working with Tcl/Tk, so there's a reasonable chance that I
can get the Tcl/Tk to work with Cairo. However, other attempts to
use, say, Qt graphics were a non-starter, because Qt wanted to usurp
every single bit of the system behavior, like inputs and events and
so forth, which made it impossible to integrate with Tcl/Tk. As long
as Cairo sticks to just graphics, it's doable. From what little I
know about Cairo, I think that's true and I can get it running under
Tcl/Tk with only a minor effort.
