I haven't used any of those, but from what I guessing their just Vector graphic programs. So,... as for existing projects for Vector Graphic programs, there is... GYVE http://www.gyve.org/ Sketch http://sketch.sourceforge.net (Although parts of it are in Python,... as well as C.) KIllustrator http://wwwiti.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~sattler/killustrator.html (It uses QT, not GTK+ though.) Sodipodi http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/ TGIF http://bourbon.cs.umd.edu:8001/tgif/ (There's probably more. Just search around.) > I have used Quark and developed extensions > for it for years, I have also written a few Photoshop plug-ins.

Well, if you're determined to work on a vector graphic application, then you have the list above. But, if you are also considering things more broad than that (... more broad than just vector graphics applications...) then I can give you an even larger list of projects to choose from. > I don't really want to > duplicate efforts if someone else is trying to do something.

Hope that helps. See ya Charles Iliya Krempeaux
