Hey,
I would like to add a postscript rendering library in proto/
Its name : "eps". I know that 'eps' is also the standard extension of the
encapsulated postscript format, but with all the names i could have
thought of and all the name others people proposed, eps is the better. And
anyway, i don't think there will be a conflict with the extension.
eps uses the library libspectre (only available in fdo's git repo), this
one uses ghostscript (ghost, spectre, all that phantom stuff made me
thought of ectoplasm for the library name, but it was not consistent with
epdf and edvi). I first tried to use ghostscript, but it's a real pain.
And libspectre does all the ugly and hard job for me.
Like Edvi, Eps has an api that is very close to Epdf one.
I answer to the question that some people can think of: why not using
poppler (hence epdf) to render postscript files ? 2 answers:
* i prefer to use the correct tool to achieve the purpose i want. Poppler
is for pdf files, not postscript.
* poppler does not provide all the features that libspectre can provide
about postscript files.
Is there an objection that I add Eps to cvs ? If no objection arises, I'll
commit it in 1 week (around the 17th august).
comments ? ideas ?
thank you
Vincent
PS: i'll not have internet next week, so, don't be surprised if i do not
answer before the 16th.
