Idea 1:
Sigh I do wish the author of gl3n had given permission for
relicense for Phobos. Would do what you want.
Idea 3:
My goal is get windowing/image library into Phobos. Now that
is not a UI toolkit but you can atleast get a window up and
show an image like a graph.
Kinda everything you want.
Any tips on how easy it will be to plot a cairo surface to a
window ?
Very easy.
- wrap a context in a Canvas with the methods for drawing.
- BLIT the cairo surface.
Thanks!
It also works with simple bitmaps, so image proceduraly
rendered.
Actually I've started to work on this at the end of 2015.
(https://github.com/BBasile/kheops/blob/master/src/kheops/bitmap.d#L396)
That looks interesting. Would you say kheops is stable enough to
be relied upon by other projects? Any plans to make it into a
dub package?
Since kheops is vector based it would be even nicer to be able to
convert a cairo svg/pdf surface to kheops.
While it was planned to make a native D UI, using it to plot 2D
data would require very few work. There's also a OO wrapper
called cairoD or something like that which is for sure very
easy to use to render bitmap proceduraly.
cairoD is indeed what ggplotd uses to produce the plot. And
saving svg/png/pdf to disk is indeed very easy with cairo.
