You're making my point. 36% is way under the 900% that I budgeted to show that it still isn't a big deal in terms of file size-- absolutely negligible in determining how portable the code is. There are plenty of good arguments for and against XML. I don't think that file size is one of them. > I say no to raw XML as making out own format, but would use SVG with > extra info embedded. > > This way our drawings would work in all modern web browsers, we get all of > the primitives we would ever want, including fancy curves, built in layers > and more...... Interesting idea. Could preview footprints *natively* at gedasymbols. It *would* be pretty awesome to be able to use SVG graphics for silk layers. Fancy curves might work well for future routers as well. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
