I'm a heavy wx users, and have only used the wxAgg back-end. However, if you are running an X application from a remote server, then the *Agg backends are much slower than the raw wx (or gtk) back ends -- I've never done it, but it has come up on this list. The reason is that it's faster to send the drawing commands over the network than the entire image buffer. > don't see them as significantly easier for embedding in applications > than Agg (since both GtkAgg and WxAgg spell out how to get a native > image buffer from the Agg buffer without using C extensions). You're right -- I don't think that's an issue. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
