Awesome! As I've said before, this hw acceleration of canvas is a huge win and I don't think you guys have gotten enough credit in the world at large for this undertaking.
You've mentioned to me that drawing circles and ellipses is still done in software, due to differences in GPUs. The HW accelerated workaround, that I know of is obviously drawLines() using approximated geometry - for outlines. This works, but, is there currently a hardware accelerated way to dynamically draw _FILLED_ polygons using Canvas? ie a filled circle or ellipse?
