WMF anyone?

Windows MetaFile contain(ed) serialized GDI graphic calls to generate the picture in a resolution independent way, while still working as a vector file format that other application could parse.

Generating static ObjC seems like a dumb idea except in very specific cases.

PDF is actually serialized CG graphic calls. This app should produce PDF files rather than raw CG graphics code. Of course, there are lots of apps that can produce PDF.

Well.... WMF was a great example of the difference between theory and practice. Not really resolution or even device independent.

Care to elaborate? Disclaimer: I've written [EW]MF parser + rasterizer from scratch.

I don't see how they're not resolution and/or device independent.
