Texture rendering for SummerSchool animation thingy works! I found an extremely cursed way to do it, which is to use marionette_driver to open a headless IceCat (Firefox) instance and use a short 14 line Python script to navigate to each SVG and take a screenshot of the active element each time.This is the only sane way I found to include proper wrappable text.Now I just need to make the titles fit.

@ekaitz_zarraga At least text layout is one thing the web is pretty good at. I considered rendering them separately and overlaying them with something like imagemagick, but this was way easier. Now I can tweak the properties in Firefox's dev tools.Might make an HTML file that just includes all of them, so that I can see how the layout looks on multiple outputs.
And yeah, it's pretty cursed that this is what modern computing is.

@ekaitz_zarraga It's what I used to design the book. Inkscape is the only vector tool that I know of.

@ekaitz_zarraga I mean, I need a raster final version. The problem is that I might need complex vector shapes and I need a proper visual curve editor for that. Also a color picker.

@ekaitz_zarraga Yup. Plus I don't wanna reimplement layout algorithms. While there is no official deadline, I did want something done. And I might need to make changes quickly, which is why I wanted to stick to formats that I know will have good tooling.
