| Ok, that explains it. While we are patching print.m: let's also put
| in svg support. It's inkscape favourite format, and seems generally
| more adopted in the opensource world. Also it seems rather easy, for
| my example it worked just adding this:
|
| elseif (strcmp (dev, "svg"))
|
| new_terminal = dev;
|
| into the large switch in print.m and add svg to the devices list in
| the same file:
|
| dev_list = {"aifm" "corel" "fig" "png" "pbm" "dxf" "mf" "hpgl", ...
| "ps" "ps2" "psc" "psc2" "eps" "eps2" "epsc" "epsc2" "emf","svg"};
I'll consider a patch + ChangeLog entry.
