Hi all,
Down at the bottom of the roadmap (http://www.inkscape.org/roadmap.php) there's a note about splitting the SVG canvas out of Inkscape.
I'm wondering how far this goal is in terms of development effort. The canvas in Inkscape is by far the best looking and most functional I've seen in any free software project. I'm sure there are many projects which would benefit from a canvas with nice antialiased output to screen, good print quality by SVG->PS conversion and the ability to manipulate the figure by pointing and clicking in some way.
Could someone familiar with the Inkscape code estimate if it would make sense at the moment to try to use the canvas this way in, say, another GTKmm-application? Or is the code just too much coupled with GUI right now?
All the best,
Teemu
