I'm very curious on how a screenshot can be converted to a valid SVG.

Can you share one on the list?


Or, the output of this command run against the screenshot SVG:

file $xterm-output.svg


I get the following:

 > src/logo.svg: SVG Scalable Vector Graphics image



SVG is a really cool format but I can't imagine how this would work, 
other than similar to how a PDF that merely contains a JPG file works.


Of course, "Screen *dump*" is probably throwing me off here. Still, 
would like to see example output...


Thanks Steve,

rb
