GoWrite browser-based equivalent

Post by Jujube »

I'm using ShareLatex, a cloud-based LaTeX editor and I'm pointing it to Imgur for, er, images. What browser-based Go tool can I use to make publishing-quality diagrams, the kind that GoWrite makes? I want a browser solution so I can do it on the move. This needs to be bitmaps, not SVG, because the inbuilt LaTeX SVG libraries don't render very well on screens when trying different zoom levels, same as I don't like the SVG rendering of GoWrite but I like the bitmaps.

Quality publication and bitmaps contradict each other.

Jujube, I don't know GoWrite, but have you tried this (IMHO absolutely awesome) browser extension? http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewto ... 18&t=11239

You can’t (yet) tell it at what resolution to create the pixel images, but the author is quite responsive, so it could happen if you ask. Meanwhile you can open the window to max., preferably on a huge screen (like a 27" iMac), and then you’ll get quite nice images. If you need to print at 300 ppi they’ll still be to small, though, I fear.

Yeah I've seen the online Goban before. I use it to show the person who sits next to me at work some interesting Joseki and L&D problems ;) but unfortunately it's not really the sort of thing I'm looking for. The export format should look like a GO diagram from a book. I'm pretty sure Kiseido use GoWrite for their diagrams, as well as books from JF et al.

Oh… sorry, now I understand.
