Re: Uwe's thoughts on @Graphic

[Jeff Kingston]

Lout relies on PostScript for non-rectangular shapes, for complex
functions (such as deciding where to place ticks on a graph), and
for side effects (mainly labels in diagrams).

Each of these applications represents an admission that Lout is
not a complete document formatting system - if it were, it would
not need to call on PostScript to do these things.  To put any
of them into Lout would be a radical change.  I think that with
large, mature software systems one has to accept that they have
been designed up to certain limits, and that it won't be fruitful
to try to push them beyond those limits.
