[PyX-devel] ANN: PyX 0.14 released

[André W. <wo...@us...>]

Hi all,

We're prod to to announce the release of PyX 0.14. This version adds SVG (Scaleable Vector Graphics) as an output format to PyX. SVG can also be read to include it unchanged to into the SVG output. In addition, even though with quite some limitations, SVG can be read, parsed, and then represented on the PyX graphics level. Here it can be modified and output not just to SVG, but also to the other output formats. Various improvements and bug fixes complete this release.

Happy PyXing,


Jörg and André
