Re: [TCLCORE] TIP 714: image driver photo formats

[Harald O. <har...@el...>]

Donal,
thanks for the message. For me, the proposed interface has the maximum 
functionality and is intuitive.

"image handler photo formats" contains all necessary information in an 
extendable way.

Extendability is IMHO important, to not end with something like:
image create photo -format [list svg -scaletoheight 120pt] -file test.svg

Or do you see this differently?
Thanks for all,
Harald
