[Laszlo-user] Drawing in IE

[Yang]

I was just reading an old Laszlo dev blog entry saying that Laszlo
will eventually support DHTML drawing, with a comment clarification
that it will use the canvas tag, and that IE can support canvas via
the Google plugin.

I believe there is in fact a way to do drawing directly in IE. IE
supports VML, and I think it's the only vector drawing language it
natively supports. AFAIK that's how the Google plugin works - maps
canvas tags to VML). I just thought of this when I saw Yahoo Pipes,
which I'm guessing does something like this, but without needing the
plugin (does the mapping itself).

Also, I just found this: http://code.google.com/p/svg2vml/.
