Support PNG and GIF #31

Open idontgetoutmuch opened 7 years ago

idontgetoutmuch commented 7 years ago

I seem to have created an 11M SVG. It would be more economical to use a PNG. I'd also like to be able to embed animations (GIF).

Yes, this makes sense. I don't remember off the top of my head why we only support the diagrams-svg backend, or how much work it would be to generalize.

byorgey commented 7 years ago

After a quick perusal of the code I think it is mostly a symptom of a more general problem: it is currently quite difficult to write code which can choose different backends based on user input such as a flag. I think this situation would probably improve with @cchalmers proposed changes to the way we organize backends and their types, although that may still be a ways off.

So a quick(ish) option would be to clone the repo and fix the backend to be rasterfic?

Yes, I think that would probably work!
