Salut a vous tous ...

Voici un message de la liste xsvg, et qui parle de la difference entre
rsvg et xsvg. Peut etre qu'il serait interessant d'utiliser libsvg ou
libxsvg a la place de librsvg pour ocamlsdl. Cela permettrait de ne pas
dependre de gtk+, et en plus, il semblerait que soit svg ou xsvg
permette de pivoter les images SVG ou meme de leut appliquer un matrice
quelconque au moment du rendu. J'ai pas regarder ni fait de tests
cependant.

Amicalement,

Sven Luther

Well, there's a reason libxsvg has a different name. ;-)

The quick history:

libsvg derives from librsvg. It started with the same SVG parsing
code, but replaces all of the calls into libart with calls to an
abstract rendering interface.

libxsvg is a thin layer on top of libsvg that hooks the abstract
rendering interface up to Xr.

Yes, when you use libxsvg you still have direct access to the XrState
object and you can transform all you like while rendering.
