Re: [DotGNU]PDF DOT GNU

[James Michael DuPont]

well you will have to wait untill i get the introspector
c++ to treecc finished, or someone else to produce a managed C++
compiler. To be honest, i am not very interesting in writing c# just
yet. There are too many c programs to port to the dotgnu env.

Just look at how the dialogs are stored, why dont we use glade xml
instead of storing the data (coordinates) in IL?
because it is faster to iterate over an array of fields by the vm
interpreting the code than by me interpreting the xml inside of the
interpreter. 
by precompiling the pdf into il, we can display immediatly.
We can optimized the rotations of polygons. it could speed up alot.
most of the rotations are constant. Imagine.

thanks for the encouragement.
