{{FGCquote|1= See: [[Canvas Development#PDF]]It may make sense to revisit this idea, supporting a subset of PDF would not be too difficult, but it would be better to really use a PDF library and OSG's built-in suport for rendering a PDF to a texture, which could the be easily turned into a new Canvas Element, as per the example at: [[Canvas Development#Adding a new Element]]The coding part is relatively straightforward (basically copy&paste), but getting the dependencies/cmake magic right for all supported FG platforms would probably require a bit of work.|2= {{cite web | url = http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=258282#p258282 | title = <nowiki>Re: 777 EFB: initial feedback</nowiki> | author = <nowiki>Hooray</nowiki> | date = Sep 21st, 2015 }}}} | {{FGCquote|1= See: [[Canvas Development#PDF]]It may make sense to revisit this idea, supporting a subset of PDF would not be too difficult, but it would be better to really use a PDF library and OSG's built-in suport for rendering a PDF to a texture, which could the be easily turned into a new Canvas Element, as per the example at: [[Canvas Development#Adding a new Element]]The coding part is relatively straightforward (basically copy&paste), but getting the dependencies/cmake magic right for all supported FG platforms would probably require a bit of work.|2= {{cite web | url = http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=258282#p258282 | title = <nowiki>Re: 777 EFB: initial feedback</nowiki> | author = <nowiki>Hooray</nowiki> | date = Sep 21st, 2015 }}}} | ||
