This bug keeps track of other bugs related to the OpenVG graphics engine. I'll add the various patches as dependency/blocker of this bug as they come in.

JAkob, is it still on radar?

[Jakob Petsovits]

Not for RIM or myself at this point, no. I need to make that patch that removes the unfinished OpenVG support at some point.

Hi, would this patch make the existing OpenVG implementation able to partially work?

No, this patch would remove any OpenVG support as it's unfinished and unlikely to be useful to anyone at this point. The rest of the patches at http://gitorious.org/~jpetso/webkit/jpetso-webkit/commits/openvg_9 made the OpenVG implementation halfway complete, however they're 2 1/2 years old by now and would have to be adapted to go into WebKit. Nobody seems to be willing and able to finish the OpenVG implementation so I think in the best interest of WebKit, it should go away entirely.

I removed OpenVG support in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/148757.
