RE: Perl/OpenGL to embed frame

Hello Slaven,

From a technical point of view I am sure it would be easier to have a
postscript generator directly inside tk::zinc (as I guess some data usefull
to generate a postscript file are not fully available from outside Tk::Zinc)
It would of course have the great advantage of beeing available on any
plateforme using tk::zinc, whatever scripting language is used.

The problem is that people using Tk::Zinc are mostly script language user
(perl, tcl or python...). They are usually not C / C++ programmer.

Patrick (cc: to this mail) who developed TkZinc has both skills, but his
time is of course limited and for the moment, as far as I know there is no
much demand for postscript inside his organisation (CENA/ DTI/SDER....
whatever the name).
From my point of view (intuilab, a SME using tkzinc under the hood) we do
not really have this need either.


So may be a perl flavour could be suefull for some user but I fear that its
future could be limited too....


Slaven, what was exactly your idea?

Christophe

Would it be acceptable to have a pure-perl version for a postscript
generator?
