KDE To Adopt SVG: Take A Glance

Posted by timothy on from the lines-and-arcs dept.

Karma Sucks writes "According to the KSVG website, KDE 3.2 will be adopting SVG in a very real way. A special preview of KSVG is available, showing everything from font rendering to a snowfall simulation using ECMAScript and DOM. KSVG is fully integrated into the KDE framework and can be used as a KPart -- e.g., by applications such as Atlantik."

    Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT? 'Cause if

    Ruby is the best language to use! Down with Python, up with Ruby!

    Kids, what's up with you - fighting over what's the best language is stupid!

    Love is stronger than hate.

    So let's invent a new language together!
