I'll be putting up a new version that uses the Mac OS X 'preferred' BufferedImage type that _might_ make it a bit faster even. > With the new renderer, however, you seem to have created a (hopefully > easy to fix?) new problem.

Both your problems are fairly simple to fix, now that we have a basic solution to the problem I'll work on these issues. The one possibly tricky problem I've seen with the new renderer is that occasionally objects leave 'bits' behind - do you see this on Mac OS X? I've looked at the code for this and I suspect it's a rounding issue with the JVM renderer but it need to investigate a bit more. > Do you think that background problem is easy to fix?

Since the new renderer doesn't seem to offer any advantage (and may be a bit slower) for Windows, I'll likely make the DynamicRenderer a 'MacOSXRenderer' and have it used all the time on Mac OS X. This does mean that you will loose the tiled rendering that is currently used for the Static renderer but since that uses Rasters it's going to be horribly slow on Mac OS X anyways. > I also added this information to bugzilla with one screenshot. > > Thanks a lot for your efforts, Thomas! > > Andreas > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
