Hiho,

here are some cleanup start points:

- m_bUseCanvas: no longer needed, no longetr interesting from outside Metafile - ImplPlayWithRenderer: should be removed. Adding a warning in Metafile::Play for comments with GDIPLUS which guides to use primitive renderer for better handling would be nice to add - MtfRenderer: The hard part. com\sun\star\rendering\MtfRenderer.idl and com\sun\star\rendering\MtfRenderer.idl and their should be removed. It's not an official API and should be safe to remove
- there may be more as consequence of these...as always ;-)

Of course some UnitTests would be nice, too, best with EMF+ test data files which make use of the new stuff.

As Thorsten already stated: Help much appreciated!

Regards,

Armin (alg)

Next steps (again, help much appreciated!):

- add more GraphicPrimitive generators, complete up to a state that
   the filter at least covers what the current direct canvas renderer
   delivers:
    * clip regions
    * text rendering - it's parsed, but graphic primitive generation is
      missing
    * gradients/hatches

That's now done to a point where we're ~on par with the old renderer's
functionality - thx to Patrick, Noel and Armin for all the nice work!

- once this works, cut over to new impl, bin the old code in cppcanvas
   (there's sadly a small amount of duplicate code now in the parsers)
- iteratively expand, to cover near-100% of EMF+ (mostly lacking around
   gradients & effects):
    * more complex fill types like bitmaps/tiles
    * path gradient
    * xor & stuff

That cut-over has now happened with

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ebc11ae0b132eefd3b1b1a837a8d0ad3ba73b460

, also killing the functionality to compare the two renderers - if you
still need that, it's a rather smallish revert for now.

Next up is cleansing the old renderer under cppcanvas, I suspect
there's some easy wins there for easy hackers. :)

Cheers,
