The code is very clever, and obviously a lot of work has gone into understanding how to emit the various formats. Unfortunately, the code is not well modularized - especially the output side!<BR/><BR/>I don't see much interest in trying to integrate at the language level, either, since the Mapyrus language appears to be heavily procedural in nature. The whole idea of Jeql is to be higher-level and more declarative. <BR/><BR/>At this point I think GMT will provide more of a model for the language to specify graphics. And I will look into libraries like iText and Batik for output capabilities (although it might be tempting to try and repurpose some of the code from Mapyrus)Dr JTShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02383381220154739793noreply@blogger.com
