Then some milestones in its development: - About two years ago I used the VectorGraphics engine to build TrueType fonts (that can be used with the traditional BitBltCanvas) - This year you showed interest in using VectorGraphics for DrGeo. I'm a long time admirer and fan of your work, so I rushed to make it usable (even if slow). So I built HybridCanvas, and fixed many bugs. - Writing this chapter for the book, and especially building the examples showed many things to improve. So I added MovableMorph, additional refactoring, and fixed a lot of bugs. So things are advancing at a rather good pace. Now that the book is essentially finished, what is needed now is to write a VM plugin with a C version of VectorEngine hierarchy. I need to focus on that for some time, maybe 2 or 3 months. The way everybody can help is by reading the chapter in the book, getting familiar with the ideas and apis, start building things, and report on the experience. Bug reports and ideas for improvement are most welcome. I'm just realizing that in the book I forgot to mention <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267152327_Prefiltering_Antialiasing_for_General_Vector_Graphics">https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267152327_Prefiltering_Antialiasing_for_General_Vector_Graphics</a> . Maybe I'd add a reference. (Yes, I was afraid someone else could patent the technique, disallowing using it to us, so I kept it unpublished for several years).
