[OpenLayers-Dev] Developement of an external vector symbol

[Pierre GIRAUD]

We just discussed it with Eric at office.
I agree with him on the fact that this is not a job for an OpenLayers format.
Because I only need some (private and public) methods such as
convertSVGToVML(), what we concluded is that the best way would be to
have a new OpenLayers.Renderer.Converter simple object in a new
Renderer/Converter.js file.

Does anybody disagree with that ?

Regards,
Pierre
