[#365153] synchronize a "mocked" clock in a distributed system — Chuck Remes <cremes.devlist@...>

I've been banging on a problem for a few days now and don't feel any closer to solving it. I'm hoping some of the big brains on the ruby ML can shed some light. Following are a few paragraphs with a brief system overview before I state the problem. I apologize in advance for this question being only tangentially related to Ruby the language. :)

I've been thinking about this a bit more, and for my purposes, which
is having an api to describe a static vector graphic for use with
things like laser cutters and other cam-like stuff with takes svg
input, that it might be interesting to try to use the same API as
Prawn for generating the graphics object model.

The graphics models for pdf and svg seem to be quite similar, not
surprising given Adobe's major input to SVG. I tend to see both as a
declarative expression of the Postscript drawing model, or at least
starting there.

I notice that there's at least one Prawn svg 'renderer' out there, but
it goes in the opposite direction I'm pursuing in that it renders svg
into prawn calls, rather than generating SVG from the prawn document
model.

I haven't investigated any of this really deeply, but it may be
possible to write something which extends and reuses most of Prawn but
with a different class of Document and some associated classes which
render SVG rather than PDF.

Perhaps Gregory Brown or one of the other core Prawn contributors will
see this and comment?
