Google summer of code 2010: 11th week
hi folks, Last week of coding have been finished and I found VERY interesting things while working on EPS and MS Visio XML Schema’s. EPS Schema Export As you know I had installed xampp in Ubuntu. So, I could install PS PECL Extension to code EPS files. But damn, I got stuck while PECL INSTALL PS package in xampp. I tried again a lot of forums/tutorials to get that working in xampp and put a lot of time on these issues.

Though I can use this extension with Linux environment but...

But I worked hard on it to make it work finally. [0] gives us a superb support when we have to write/generate long length XML files. I am posting SVG sample graphic generated from Skilla database. This SVG...
