Paul and all other,
how complicated might it be to spit out a gil image from the plot rather than a svg file? Is it possible to templatize svg_2d_plot to 2d_plot< svg > and then 2d_plot< gil::image >. I'm sure it's possible but how much work would it be? I could see myself writing the gil portion.
Would it be possible to use the SVG text from an ostream or an array of bytes to convert to gil_image? This might be much simpler to implement. All the functions are geared to outputting SVG commands and it would require a complete duplication of the exceedingly many functions. Another Booster pointed me to Qt Widgets as a renderer " QSvgWidget::QSvgWidget ( const QString & file, QWidget * parent = 0 ) Constructs a new SVG display widget with the given parent and loads the contents of the specified file. " Seems promising - is there a similar svg to gil_image converter? But then I'm entirely ignorant of gil_images :-) Paul --- Paul A.
