Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape as console application

I think, though I may be wrong, that someone would have to decide what goes into the group of callbacks available a "knowledge of View classes in general, or knowledge of a putative View base class", and probably someone will have had to design the architecture so that it was available when the list of callbacks required was originally made.

No, I took SPDesktop, separated it from SPDesktopWidget, and wrote down the interface from the former to the latter (with hindsight to abstraction). No design. Just indirection. Let the code itself tell you what it needs. I admit there was some aimful optimizing taking part, and there will be more.
