Fwd: Re: [cairo] MOZ-SVG-cairo (was: usable libsvg-cairo?)

Considering the progress on Mozilla SVG, we're looking at pulling the Mozilla SVG cairo backend into a standalone library, wrapped for use outside Mozilla. It wouldn't parse the XML, but it would let you use any parser or content model to drive rendering.
We need this (or something similar) for SVGTerm, a mechanism that continually updates an SVG scene on one or more remote screens. (Embedding Gecko would be overkill for this app.)
Is this something that others would like to have?
Would anyone foresee problems with this approach?

Hi:
I just want to use libsvg-cairo to render SVG into cairo_surface, but the libsvg-cairo can not pass compilation. I think the code of libsvg- cairo is out-dated because the rapid change of cairo API. Can I get some older version of cairo to let the current libsvg-cairo work correctly?
Thanks greatly.

Whoaaa...two things:
1.) This is great.
2.) And, as we predicted, the push of MOZ-SVG into the main trunk and firefox, I think is paying off with more users/developers.
On what level could we utilize such a library? Would this be better than just us swapping in cairo? Maybe better to plug into this effort.
Is this effort to convert to a libsvg-cairo library done by the main development project MOZ-SVG, or is this person outside that project?

Actually, as the thread has continued, it looks like the SVG stuff is too tied in with Firefox/Gecko internals to easily extract. So they're looking at a different approach now.
But, yeah, if someone does eventually put together a complete solution along these lines, we'd do well to look into how we could adopt it.
The less code we have to write and maintain ourselves, the better. :)

Someone outside.

XULRunner + SVG would be an awesome engine for building quick apps. You would basically need the entire MozEmbed bundle, but it would be fun to play with.
