Hi all,

Given that we're having a push towards 2D depiction, is there any
chance of including CairoPainter in Open Babel from Tim's OBDepict
(see his github repo). This would add a (optional) dependency on
libcairo, and would allow PNG output (among others).

For all my love of SVG, we really should have PNG output. Right now, I
am generating PNGs from Pybel using cairo, but from the SVG that the
SVGPainter generates. This latter adds a dependency on an additional
library (librsvg). Basically the whole thing is a workaround for a
lack of PNG output in the first place.

I guess that adding an extra dependency isn't on the cards for 2.3.1,
but I just thought I'd bring it up in case...
