Subject: Re: vector graphics library with pan and zoom

Thanks.
I'll take a look at that.

It's funny you should mention simulink -- I meant to add to my
original post that I was hoping to find something that provided
similar capabilities (zoom, aspect ratio control, and auto scale, in
particular) as are provided by the plotting capabilities of MATLAB.

Basically, I would like to plot some shapes I've drawn in a Ruby
program and to be able to zoom in and out to see more or less detail.
My current "simplest, because I know exactly how to do it, but
stupidly complex" plan is to dump the data to a file which I would
read and plot from a MATLAB script.

I'm hoping to find a more elegant solution than that, and to add that
capability to my bag o' tricks.

I'll try talking to your Tkar process.  I don't need the animation
capabilities you provide, but if I can draw my lines, arcs, and
polygons, and I can zoom in and out of the drawn figure, then I can
check this box off and move on to the next problem.
