Gnome is in need of a unified printing architecture. This package is an
|
|
attempt for such an architecture, geared towards heavily graphics-intensive
|
|
applications.
|
|
|
|
The goals of this architecture include:
|
|
|
|
- Absolutely uncompromised output quality
|
|
- Speed, memory efficiency, and other related performance goals
|
|
- Ability to work smoothly with PostScript printers, fonts, and
|
|
other resources
|
|
- A screen display derived from the Caanvas
|
|
- An extension path for a wide variety of Unicode scripts
|
|
- An extension path for a richer set of graphics operators than
|
|
PostScript supports, especially transparency
|
|
- To make life as easy as possible for application developers
