- Is there any plan to add figures and pictures handling to the Info format. A
- picture is worth pages of text... and I think that the Info format would
- benefit of such addition.
-
- Anyway, I have plan to add such facility to my Xinfo (Motif version) widget,
- and I would like to know if somebody has done something similar first.
-
- The quick way to do it is probably to just call a program such as xv or
- xloadimage or a PS viewer (or whatever pictures viewer you use) when the user
- click or select the picture (in Info mode). For the printed document, no
- problem, there are enough packages around to include PS or whatever format in a
- TeX/LaTeX document.
-
- Any suggestions?
