Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape as console application

This thread is very academical. Ben, why don't you have a look at inkscape's branch named CXXIFICATION_VIEW_AND_WIDGET and discuss that?

There, the model (SPDesktop) is quite happily using a second view (EditWidget) without knowing details, and without a circular dependency, because EditWidget (as well as your usual SPDesktopWidget) adheres to EditWidgetInterface, and SPDesktop only needs a reference to that.

Why?

Because one and the same SPDesktop now drives Gtk+ and Gtkmm. Software reuse par excellence.

Please use this as concrete example and contribute to the code.
