Re: Latex PGF plugin

[momomaniac <momomaniac gmail com>]

Alright, I'm slowly getting into it: I'm not really an expert yet in 
Software development.

I had only tried it with a few samples of my own, I had not found 
(looked for) a test file.
So I just checked the samples/render-test.dia
...and found a bug.

First, including images is not supported because I did not find any way 
to include an image inline in the file.
One might write the pixel data to an extra file, then include that file. 
Or render it with an array of coloured rectangles ;)
Any ideas by a true master of PGF?

Then there is a problem with arcs, I have to fix it and i'll send 
another patch (non-zipped this time)
I wrote a short summary of implementation ideas into the comment at the 
head of render_pgf.c

But I can write a few lines of comparison between pstricks and PGF soon, 
if you want. I can't tell much/anything about Metapost though.
