after a bit of googling, it actually turns out that there is already a dedicated plugin for SVG handling via OSG - so that would probably be the least amount of work, given that we already have Canvas::Image using the same ReaderWriter mechanism under the hood. | |||
I don't know anything about the plugin's state - but I suppose it'll we much more feature-complete than our own little parser. | |||
And it being an OSG plugin, it will automatically be able to run in the background - so we won't have to add our own threading code. | |||
Also, it's not a totally new dependency, rather just another OSG plugin - so comparatively easy to support via the existing build system (according to the OSG website, the plugin only needs librsvg) | |||
