feature request: `rmrl` for nicer rendering of line-files

Open flomlo opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Hi,

I consider the annotation-render currently used by rmfakecloud a bit crude. It does not support different pens or colors at the moment. rmrl is in my opinion, at least currently, the best line-file-renderer (https://github.com/rschroll/rmrl), even though it is not yet compatible with the colors introduced in a recent update.

Would you accept a patch introducing a dependency on rmrl with the benefit of nicer renderings?

I'll probably get to it in a few weeks.

if you port it in go sure

That is problematic I guess: rmrl changes all the time, as the line file format changes all the time. Furthermore it is still not perfect and people tweak it constantly (the most up-to-date-fork would be https://github.com/naturale0/rmrl).

I would strongly prefer to just add glue code and not to port it whilst it is still maturing.

I know, but then there will be a dependency on python and given that it could run on embedded devices etc will make it more complex. I am not really fond of embedding it and will make the container image bigger.

Maybe add a possibilty of making it modular? Ship it with default normally and allow the user to configure their own if they want to...
