The board library is expected to allow the drawing of simple (and not so simple,
see below) vector graphics using the C++ language, eventually exporting them as
Encapsulated Postscript, SVG, or Xfig files.
The main goal of the lib is to help two kind of users:
- Programmers who want to add vector graphics export to their applications,
using a simple library with functions like drawLine() drawRectangle()
drawPolyline(), etc. without having to bother about the SVG format or Postscript
language. EPS, Xfig, and SVG are all bundled in a self-sufficient lib.
- Any user (beginner or not) who has basic C++ skills and wants do draw complex
figures which would be very difficult do build by hand using a software like
XFig or Inkscape, because they require lot of primitives. In this case, the
graphic may be C++-coded, with loops, variables and so on, then maybe edited
using a classical software like the ones previously mentioned.
