SVG is even more cross-plateform, and more importantly it is supported by web browsers, you can use javascript to edit it and you can use css to style it. That could be the stem for a new pd GUI.

Hi,

Yes, you're right, I saw this idea in gridflow. I will try it.

> Well ... basically to me the way to go is really with SVG as a starting point. Because once you have SVG, you can use one of hundred different tools to convert to PNG, JPG or any image format you can dream of

With inkscape you can convert .ps into .svg :
inkscape pd.ps --export-plain-svg=pd.svg

I don't know if we can command Pd to print patchs in .ps (in a command line). It could strong and cross-platform.
