I'm not sure I understand what viewports really are since I've never used them, but from what I understand, you can still use the buffer engine of Evas to render your objects into an image, and then use this image object as a viewport (it can be scaled, moved, and even be blended). But maybe it's not as efficient as the previous viewport feature. Regards, Simon TRENY <MoOm> > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
