Skia is pretty cool, Iām not sure how well it works for writing out PDFs and SVGs.
If those work well, I guess it could be a pretty nice replacement for CairoMakie.
If it cant replace it, it will be a bit badly positioned between GLMakie and CairoMakie, so it would make it a bit harder to give clear advice on which backend to use.
Anyways, would be nice to have a prototype and see how it does.
PDFs are no problem at all. The same engine is used when you print a web page. The status for SVG:s are more questionable. There is no export page to SVG functionality in most browsers. Export to SVG exists, but it could contain bugs. I will make a prototype, I am certain it will do well.
