Severity: wishlist

X-Debbugs-CC: monnier <at> iro.umontreal.ca, alan <at> idiocy.org

From etc/TODO:

  ** Better support for dynamic embedded graphics
  I like this idea (my mpc.el code could use it for the volume widget),
  though I wonder if the resulting efficiency will be sufficient.

Is this item still relevant, with the improvements made by Alan Third
to svg support lately?  It seems very usable for something like
mpc.el, and it even works with resizing.  In fact, I'm working on
something much like that, and one of the places where I intend to
experiment is mpc.el.

If it's still relevant, maybe it should be expanded with a sentence or two.

This was added by Stefan Monnier (CC'ed) in preparation for release of
Emacs 24, see commit bbbab48.

Stefan, can you answer the above request?

I believe the SVG support can indeed provide the functionality
I intended to describe in the above TODO item.

Thanks, I've therefore removed this item from the TODO.
