Hi Adib,
            Ted pointed me at some gdk routines:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/unstable/glib-Base64-Encoding.html
but my stab at using those is crashing when I try to get the pixel data from the pixbuf to pass to it.
I'm also not gonna be somewhere I can code till the new year from tomorrow.

Cheers

John

Hello John,
I already did some base64 conversions for my office. One was based on libxmlsec functions and an other based on a simple c-implementation.
I will provide you with (somewhere on inkscape helper):
guchar *bin_to_base64(void *binbuffer, unsigned int binlen, unsigned int *base64len) and
void *base64_to_bin(guchar *base64buffer, unsigned int base64len, unsigned int *binlen)
the third parameter will be the length of the allocated buffer.

Does this sounds reasonable?

HTH,

Adib.

Have code for rasterising selected objects to a gdk_pixbuf in my sandbox, hoping to use it to make create bitmap copy not need temp files when no external filter is being used (to fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/169108).
Just struggling with base64 encoding the pixbuf to be able to inline it.

would welcome some input on that

Cheers

Rasterizing filters in PDF would be a huge step toward making PDF output
match Inkscape's rendering. If someone has a plan or has started work on
this it would be great to get it in, but getting it in as a new feature
at this stage probably takes some justification and major developer backing.
