rome is a new api for rendering image and text. the idea is to offer a common api and several backends     one would balloon     another would be cairo/pango     a third one could be morphic30 primitives
- a fourth one is direct OpenGL backend :)
the idea is to get rome working with the vm primitives and/or balloon then to get it working with cairo via the ROME plugin
then we could start to migrate the system to use this api.

Having some code to load will go a long way to answering my question, but more basic than that, I have tried (and failed miserably) to trace Rome back to some library/framework/etc. Â Is there any background reading I can do to see where this might be heading?

Hello,
Indeed, I started to build a small package, integrating one by one things working in Rome. You can load it from the squeak source repository: www.squeaksource.com/Athens
For now, the working canvas are: - RomePluginCanvas (making the binding with cairo) - RomeBalloonCanvas
You can see some examples in the class side of RomeDemo. All is not working. Â You can have a look at RomeDemo >> demoMovingCar, that should work with the RomePluginCanvas and the RomeBalloonCanvas.
All that concern fonts is not yet integrated, a lot of thing are already broken in the sophie dev image. So all examples drawing simple form, without text, should work.
You can also have a look at the version of Alain plantec, from which I based the package Athens. This is already a condense version of all stuffs from the sophie image. You can load it from: www.squeaksource.source/PharoTaskForces (load te last version of 'Rome').
The next steps are: - Integrate fonts - The class RomeSVGDemo doesn't work

A bird told me that you are working on a Rome plugin. What is the status? Could we test something? :)
Cheers, Doru
