Lee, if you are looking for a classroom teacher to try out pyguin in
the classroom, sign me up! I'll have it installed in my lab on
Thursday, when I return, in any case. It rocks!

Now a question: how difficult would it be to get pyguin to output svg images?

Jeff Elkner

Jeff's notion that one should be able to save at least some turtle art as SVG files seems brilliant to me.

Unless I'm mistaken, most turtles simply change the state of a bitmapped canvas and have trouble even reading single pixels after that (e.g. what color is 300,201 -- not easy to know).

Moving to SVG would be like moving to Postscript for output. Non-trivial.

I agree with Jeff, one could develop an application wherein turtles to add to an SVG file under the hood, allowing output that scales.

On Googling, I found this project that was (is?) moving in that direction:
