However, were we to switch over to wxGraphicsContext first, then I think
adding SVG support could actually lead to something worthwhile. In
fact, one might argue that if we were to switch to wxGraphicsContext,
that as we do so, we re-invent our graphic primitives to match those
found typically in an SVG file, FIRST.
Oh, yes... then how do you represent a shaded fill in gerber? :D:D:D
Do not forget that wxGraphicsContext (whatever it does :P) is for screen only and MAYBE for built in printing, depending on the platform... for example you cannot represent transparency in Postscript, BY DESIGN (Adobe printers had a write-only framebuffer IIRC).
Sorry but a CAD user I really don't care of what I see on the screen if the plots (and EXPECIALLY the gerbers!) don't match... it is the plot that will be built!
