Hey !

    I hope it works this time. My message body wasn't sent last time and I 
was told to close the HTML editor and so I did.

    Here's my original question: I think I have spotted a contradiction (or 
at least a point that is not clear) in the SVG project.In the introduction, 
the author points the need to "[evaluate] a function like sin over a range 
and [get] a compact scalable graphic that can easily be added to documents" 
however in the "goal" section, the author says:

    "Goal: To write C++ templated functions to allow data in C++ arrays and 
STL containers, vector is an obvious one, to produce a file, for example, in 
SVG format (XML)."

    The latter seems to be more like simply plotting points while the first 
rather seems like plotting the function over a given range.

    I am really interested in this entry however I would like to have a 
really good idea of what has to be done and how I will do it before even 
sending my subscribtion for GSoC.

Thanks a lot to all ideas and suggestions !
