What is Ruby Vector Graphics?

Ruby Vector Graphics (RVG) is an add-on library for RMagick
(http://rmagick.rub...). RVG is a facade for RMagick's 2D drawing
class, Draw. The RVG methods are based on the Scalable Vector Graphics
specification. See the RVG home page at http://rvg.rub... for an
example.

Nice project. Can't wait to see this back-ported to RMagick, but I
wonder about what was changed in this version. Could you elaborate?

Thank you.

There were two incompatible changes. I changed the name of the
RVG#background_color method to #background_fill so it would match the SVG
1.2 standard. This meant I had to change the old #background_fill to
#background_pattern. I also changed the order of arguments in the #rect,
#circle, and #ellipse methods to allow some of the arguments have default
values.

The new features are
o embedded raster images,
o clipping paths, and
o RVG objects can be arguments to the #use method

You can certainly use RVG with RMagick today. RVG is 100% pure Ruby. You
just use a simple setup.rb command to install it. It should work well with
just about any release of RMagick, although you'll get better results if
you're using ImageMagick 6.0.0 or later.
