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

[k kushal]

Please define `heavy'.

The page is taking some time to load.

The idea is that there is a command

  make baseline-diff
(or something similar) that automatically generates all images,
together with one or more HTML pages that show them.  If this takes
some time, I don't care too much

Sure, Will do this. 

Hehe :-)  s/compassion/comparison/

Auto-correct to blame :-)

I've seen that already, thanks!

It's up to Arvinder (and you) to find good visualization solutions...

I think yes, at least for the most glaring differences.

As I told Arvinder: It should be configurable, and only real data will
eventually give us enough experience to find good decisions here.

Only on demand, I think.

Thanks.
