[Inkscape-devel] using SVG-View Widget in gtkmm apps

First let me say what a great job the whole development team is doing - Inkscape is one of the best open source projects going. And it lets a non-artist like me make decent looking icons - it's simply fun to use.

I would like to use SVG in a gtkmm geographic mapping application - is the SVG View Widget part of the gtk toolset now ? Does it use librsvg to blt back the svg or does it have it's own renderer ? (I tried to follow the code but got lost). Thks. John
