Scalable vector graphics

2 messages · Douglas Bates, Brian Ripley

I noticed a request on S-news today about support for scalable vector
graphics (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/).  Is there any interest in that
for R?  Is there anyone interested in doing it?

I noticed it on the W3C site a couple of weeks ago, and concluded that it
was premature. (It is not yet a W3C standard, and look at the platforms
that have tool support: mainly Windows, perhaps a Java2 SDK will also
work.)

I would give higher priority to a real PDF driver (not via bitmap())
at present, as these are already widely-available tools to use PDF.
