Hi Rene, Rene Brun writes: > > Could you explain me how you will handle the case of a batch program producing > just a PS file ? Hmm, good question, I'm not sure. It has been too long since I last used GnomeCanvas to say whether this will work or not without some testing. However there might be hope of handling this X-less batch processing. The GnomeCanvas has 2 rendering modes, one using the usual X11 rastering (ie, ultimately calling XDrawLine, etc, as TCanvas does) and another using Libart (http://www.artofcode.com/libart.html) which does high quality offscreen rendering to SVG, PS, and various bitmapped formats. The question is whether or not GnomeCanvas has to be displayed with using libart backend. I don't know. As an aside, I wonder if ROOT would benefit from using libart for offscreen generation of TCanvas images. Besides extra file formats being supported you get anti-aliasing and bitmap generation with out needing X, something I hear requested now and then. I'm just mentioning this, not volunteering to actually work on it... <grin>. Regards, -Brett.
