Don't you hate it when people reply to their own posts?
I'm new to the lisp world, but the Functional PostScript library:
http://www.scsh.net/resources/fps.html
is a scheme extension embedding postscript operators. Note:
We'd like to have a back-end that renders directly to the screen.
This could be done by linking FPS's Scheme with the free Ghostscript
C library of PostScript primitives to render to X. Then we'd have a
high-level, device-independent graphics system for doing interactive
screen graphics.
A postscript-driven rendering engine seems an elegant way to unify
axiom's interactive graphics with lisp, texmacs, and
latexwiki/mathaction.
