to keep overhead down the conversion of shapes into pixels should be pushed as close to the framebuffer as possible, preferablly into the graphics card. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
