sauvage

sauvage is a Python library that displays SVG graphics using OpenGL, and is used to implement demanding interaction techniques, such as ZUI, or see-through tools. It is available on unix platforms (Linux, MacOSX) and should work on Windows, under the LGPL license.

sauvage is build upon svgl concepts (a previous library I wrote in c++), but does not use code from it. Instead, sauvage is written in python, as it allows easier modification when I have new ideas on how to implement things (no compilation, no static typing when I don't need it, etc.). The goal is to design a library for OpenGL and have fast and high quality zooming features.

features: all SVG shapes, styling, <use>, high quality autoscaled text, antialiasing, picking, SVG loading, images etc.

You need sauvage.tbz. Follow instructions in sauvage/README. Alternatively, you can use this macosx "easy install" script.

consider it as alpha, it works well, but things may be implemented for a subset of shapes etc. sauvage is a research tool : currently, I don't have time to make it a robust library that can be used in any application. Feel free to try it and tweak it, I would be glad to add valuable additions.
