FYI progress with dunnart and Inkscape
John Pye
FYI there was some recent activity in Inkscape to work on improving
connector tool behaviour there using Michael Wybrow's adaptagrams
library, as part of a GSOC project that I hadn't noticed until now.

Also seems that the Dunnart tool continues to have active development,
and is doing some very nice realtime constraint calculation that might
interest you:

Check out the video, the first link above.
I'm particularly interested in any possibility of having these
'object-avoiding' connector lines being available as part of Gaphas, one
day in the future.

This sounds good. I've looked into libavoid (the particular library) a
few times. First thing to do is
create some Python bindings.
I still have to check with Micheal if he has any ideas about this.
Currently the library does not take care of reference counting or
something similar though.
That's a pity as it makes creating language bindings much harder (my C+
+ knowledge is very rusty).
