Re: [ft-devel] [GSoC] Visualizing/organizing different rendering modes

I am working on generating GIF(s) for that blink effect 
( with 2-3 different visualizations to highlight differences ). 

Another thing I thing would be useful to visualize is let’s say we have 
two glyphs A and A’ . We display A in a frame and when you click and hold 
anywhere on the image A’ is displayed and when you release it A is back on.

Honestly, I don't know yet.  I think we will know this as soon as
there is something to test in real life.  If possible, make everything
as configurable as possible and start with, say, two different views.

Maybe you can even provide high-level _javascript_ functions (or
whatever) so that different views can be set up with just a few
functions?

Note that a great tool is blink comparison of images.
