Quite a while ago I wrote an entirely-in-software renderer, not because I thought the world needed another renderer but because I wanted to understand what was involved. It is unlikely to be directly suitable for your purposes, but you may be able to pull off the X interface I use and put on whatever you need, leaving the basic renderer intact. It's part of a larger collection of code, which you likely don't want. (It's available as a git repo, git://git.rodents-montreal.org/Mouse/render, but, as I say, that will also get you a bunch of other stuff you likely don't want.) I've pulled out just the program containing the renderer and put it up for FTP; see ftp.rodents-montreal.org, /mouse/misc/render/ in particular. Note that portability was not particularly a design goal, so it likely depends on one or more aspects of my local environment. If you have trouble building it let me know and I may be able to help, or explain at the very least. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
