Good looking! I didn't get to watch the video or look at docs in depth, but do the results trace back to the location of the answers in a document? Let's say it finds an answer in a PDF, and I'd like to know where in that PDF

Of course it's not optimal, it was simply a pragmatic trade-off. This wasn't the only case with lots of paths, and the divide-and-conquer approach improved the runtime performance substantially on all of them. What you are proposi

I didn't get to simplify the code further unfortunately. I could have, but I was running very tight on time with other things. In fact the running-in-production-version is even worse than what I've posted, I just went with what wo

Very interesting. Honestly I don't know much about hinting, but I suspect the whole shaping stack that Slug supports: > kerning, ligature replacement, combining diacritical mark placement, and character composition. Slug also suppo

It's more about the nature of the problem, not that you can't do it in shaders. After all, I think you can do pretty much anything in shaders if you try hard enough. Even if you already have a GPU renderer for glyphs and any other

One other thing that is a bit weird about SVG is how some parts don't feel tightly integrated. For example, paths and SMIL events have their own syntax. And a lot of APIs related to them seem to be either abandoned, deprecated, or just

I've been following VGC for some time now, and I definitely think it's the coolest project of its kind right now! I sincerely hope it will be widely used.

I am too young to have lived through that era, but it seems to me like tweening hints were all integrated in the editing UI? That is of course much more useful. But the scope of my post was not at all to do something better than Flash, or t

I haven't looked too in depth into it, but it looks closer to what I described? It doesn’t look like the method the other commenter was describing. Also, keep in mind that I did not mean to implement something better than what Flash di

Always open to suggestions! I don't claim this to be any kind of novel method, or even a "good method". It's just an explanation of one way to do it, which is (IMO) relatively easy to understand, and implement. When rese

Yes, at least that would be a great start for me.

This is exactly the kind of tool I would want as well. I was surprised nothing like this exists already.

Thank you! Looking forward to your research.

Nice project! I see the tool can already handle polylines, so in theory you should be able to add support for Bézier curves and arcs by converting them to polylines. But of course, the devil is usually in the details. I hope it works out.

There's also Software-Transactional Memory in which deadlocks are pretty much impossible. Though it only really works in languages that can properly track side effects, like Haskell's monads.

My experience with parsing undocumented binary formats is with Skia's skp files. Unfortunately they don’t publish any docs regarding the format. Instead I relied on their source code (which is very convoluted), and in that process I di
