For simple static images it not gonna be too much of a problem ( FP API ) but in an animation where things are getting called over and over again its pain :(. Its kind of dissapoiting cairo never got a fixed point api ( though it probably would have seemed a little wierd to lucky FPU owning folks ) . A possible future solution could be a GL like api offering similar api calls but each taking different argument types ( fixed and float ). -- Matthew _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
