Description Johannes Waldmann 2012-04-11 21:36:15 CEST

(this is just to record the status-quo)

when the RPC server sends out a picture
that was built by "peng", it does so because
it sees an Output node of shape O.Image file contents:

http://autolat.imn.htwk-leipzig.de/gitweb/?p=tool;a=blob;f=server-interface/src/Util/Xml/Output.hs;h=506042a36a3733e8273b1d6432d683b7a5504e03;hb=17f19630f924aaab75845dd79e2dd558bcf38046#l35

This contains "contents' <- contents". 
Does this mean that the picture is re-computed each time?
I hope not, looking at this code:
