Tom (Canvas) mentioned originally that for cockpit instruments using Inkscape with maybe a plugin will probably fit better.[1]
Inkscape’s extension architecture can be easily used with Python. There is also some support for other scripting languages. communications between inkscape and its extensions is fairly limited and can be made to easily work for simple command-line (CLI) appliications.
Background
Inkscape couuld also be used to directly establish a "connection" with FlightGear (think telnet/props, httpd etc)
Goal
Come up with a simple Inkscape extension that can serve as the foundation for creating Canvas based MFDs more easily. Ideally, in conjunction with Richard's MFD framework and the Emesary IPC system (eventually).
Python
Work in progress This article or section will be worked on in the upcoming hours or days. See history for the latest developments. |
