Perhaps. I do know that the Escher Objects that Yegor creates for me
are of much higher quality and precision than any of our EMF and WMF
experiments. Of course that could be because we had POI as a starting
point and did not end up incorporating anything else. Text Layout was
important and quite a struggle. (We have contributed results here.)
Since we are rendering a PS file (limited subset/ our own renderer)
into Escher via java2d. (I also don't know if we contributed this
code, but we could in the near future.)
I wonder if the renderers you mentioned create a WMF or EMF with the
precision we can with Escher. Doing so might solve some other
integration issues for us.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Daniel,
How would you compare the WMF and EMF formats to Escher Drawing layer
objects included in an XLS or PPT?
This is a question about the format.
It would be yet one more renderer to write. WMF and EMF are
effectively
serialisations of the actual system calls used to render the
picture. I get
the impression that Escher is more of a proper vector graphics
format. I
don't know if that makes it easier or harder to implement a renderer.
All these things appear in a PPT file though. I received a PPT
file recently
which had a mix of Escher drawing plus a big EMF file centred in
it. It
would unfortunately all need to be handled in order to render the
whole
thing, but I know people have already managed to do it. :-)
EMF+ is another hurdle since they don't even document that one yet.
