I tried to navigate that in a browser. Unfortunately it seems the html files aren't meant to be browsed in-place, at least most of the links are invalid. That's a pity.
And, in case you were on vacation for my first post, some demo plots are attached for your amusement.
Could you please use a more widely supported packaging / compression format ? (E.g., gzip, bz2)
The pdf tutorial looks great, and I would love to see such a boost.svg library addition. (Though, this reminds me of all the discussions we have had about modularity: I think this should be a stand-alone library. But that's a completely separate discussion.)
7z is rather widely used from what I have seen. All the random zips I have downloaded over the past probably 2 years, probably 80% have been 7z. 7z has been included in all the *nix distro's I have used for the past few years, and most zip programs on Windows supports it just fine as well. 7z compresses a *lot* better then gzip/bzip/zip/etc... Takes more memory and time to do the initial compression, but is fast decompressing. I really doubt you would have any issues opening it, on my Kubuntu install I just click to open it, ditto with my windows.
I couldn't open 7z on either my mac, or the virtual windows install I keep on my mac. While I can download 7z for windows, there are no official mac binaries, and the source doesn't seem to compile from my brief attempt.
(Sorry for the OT)
It is not OT because I renamed the subject, this is now the subject of this new thread as of my first post. :) That is surprising, 7z worked out of the box on my (K)Ubuntu installs without needing to install anything special that I recall...
