Another idea for a class project: a new plug-in that exports the current
model to a well known vector format (eg.: eps, wmf, svg). That would help to
include a resizeable GME model in a document/paper. The only pitfall here
is, that one will need access to the GME sources to be able to implement
such a feature, and she won't be able to use the generic IMgaComponentEx
interface only. (This is because the need for direct access to the windows
device context).
If my idea was off-topic, sorry.
