I'm looking for a file format for images that plays nicely with revision control. Ideally I'd like to edit them while seeing what I'm editing, whether it's a line drawing (like inkscape) or a pixel map.
And I'd like to keep the whole thing under revision control (like monotone, or git, or such. Currently I use monotone). But any kind of compressed file format is probably not going to cut it. Revision control seems to be designed for program text, with lots of newlines in stable places. If all else fails, and I get desperate I could even store my images as programs in, say, Scheme or C or some such, and run the code to see the image. But that would make editing difficult. And in that case, I'd like recommendations to graphics libraries that can output to a variety of formats, such as onto the screen, into a jpeg file, to svg or html format, or some such. I would definitely prefer not to write a whole new image editor from scratch. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
