quick preview mode
Hello,
I was recently working with plots generated by Matlab stored in EPS format. The plots were complex graphs and the result were EPS files with lots of paths. I needed to add several annotations.
The problem is that Inkscape was extremely slow. I had to wait several seconds before and object appeared, after I added it on the canvas. I solved the problem by taking a picture of the screen with the whole plot, saving it as JPEG and importing this JPEG into a layer. I then scaled it so that it looked like the vector plot beneath. Finally hiding the layer with the imported EPS made everything work fast so I could add the annotations..
My question is, would it be possible (or is it already there?) to add some mode of display in which Inkscape would draw only black-and-white preview of selected object (or whole figure), without any fills, strokes, antialiasing... anything. Something like CorelDraw's "wireframe" mode.
I realize that this is a major undertaking and there's probably no need for it, but it would be nice anyway.
Thank you!!
David

Actually we should be doing a lot of that sort of thing automatically during interactive rendering.
We don't currently, partly because doing it to that extent needs some rearchitecting of the canvas stuff, and partly because the existing cacheing code had to be turned off because it had bad memory leaks.
This isn't strictly a Cairoification thing, but it would be nice if we could address this sort of thing too then.

There's an RFE in for that; we just need someone to do it.
