11The plan is to first develop a solid base for the future of pdfcube:
12some high-level C++ interface for multipage documents (With a first
13implementation for PDFs followed by PS documents and image collection
14implementations) that can be used by a generic viewer interface with
15pluggable index and transition effects.

17I think we don't need effects in reverse, but we need plain swap to a
18random page without flickering. So the strategy can be to have all
19pages rendered in low resolution (low end hardware can rendere low res
20version of a 100 page in a few seconds, but we will need a progress
21indicator of some kind at document load) and to memorize in hi res
22only the current and the following page.

24Clutter seems to be the most supported API to manage 2d objects in a
253d world. Most effects are really easy to achieve with it.  Simple
26page turn and some "twirl" effects can also be achieved with
27ClutterTextureOdo (in the toys folder).

29Let's work.
