vector graphics

I looked at the huge list of operations at http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gegl-developer/2006-August/000553.html and noticed that there doesn't seem to be anything to support vector graphics. Or am I just looking in the wrong place?

The web page mentions

We are working on ... flexible tile based systems

Is there someplace specific I should look for this? I don't care if it is actually coded or is justa vague dream, but I'd like to see what you have in mind.

Actually, I'd prefer the vague dream stage, because I've been working on recursive hierarchical tile systems for landscape generation, with realistic-looking river networks. But displaying this really wants 3-D, which (at least for now) seems to be outside the scope of the project.

You are looking in the correct place, GEGL is not a vector handling framework but a compositing/image processing framework that works with raster graphics. The only way vector graphics enters the picture is with buffer loaders, there is for instance work in progress on a SVG loader using librsvg, that will rasterize the vector content of the SVG into a buffer.

It is likely that this will work both with inline SVG data, as well as with reference to an external file.
