Does Polymoprh based on Rome is something making sense, or is it just non-sense (ie not related). I try to understand what is the value behing Rome.
Rome (in this case especially Rome Cairo) brings true vector based drawing to Squeak/Pharo allowing for drawing with transformations and lossless scaling. Rome is also a framework to unify drawing using different backends, which right now isn't the case as the different Canvas classes support different protocols. Or even worse implement some calls differently. Most of the drawing code in Morphic would need to be rewritten though, so it isn't that simple a task. Michael
