Hi all,
I've been testing various idea around the idea of a GL backend, and I would
have a few questions.
First, I tried to use the backend template to quickly test an empty pyglet
backend and I've been quite surprised by the bad performances. Without drawing
anything, I can hardly reach 100FPS and I wonder if I did something wrong ?
(The backend is available backend_pyglet.py and the test file is at
test_backend_pyglet.py)
Second, I've been experimenting with proper anti-alias technics (using shaders)
and the results are not so bad so far (IMHO) :
Antialiased line with thickness varying by 0.1 pixels:

(don't paid attention to the cap, it's not done yet)
Antialiased circles (small circles position is increased by 0.1 pixels)

(I can post source code if anyone is interested)
I don't know yet if all matplotlib artists can be drawing using these technics.
My question relates to the cairo backend that now seems to support gl and
shaders. Does anyone know the status of the gl-backend and how it would improve
performances of matplotlib ? (I had a hard time finding any information).
