Michael,
I know, but JavaFX is still doing a lot of software rendering and I doubt
that this will change
in the near future. So having at least the option to use MarlinFX instead
of the current
default renderer may be a advantage especially when multithreading is
enabled.
Thanks for your positive feedback that motivates me to make the job to
integrate the marlin renderer in the JavaFX pipeline.
Early benchmark results look very promising, too.
For now the OpenPiscesRasterizer class uses a static Renderer (single
instance) so it is single-threaded.
In MarlinFX I could prepare the multi-threading support by using 1
RendererContext per thread (ThreadLocal) as I did in Marlin for java2d.
However it seems a complex task to enable parallelization in the javafx
pipeline but I could help there also...
Enabling parallel rasterization seems like a good follow-on task, but is
out of scope for the short term given the limited amount of time. Also,
the only way that MarlinFX even has a chance of getting approved for in
JDK 9 is for the default OpenPisces path to be unaltered.

Michael, note that Marlin FX still is fully software rendering, while
you asked for more hardware rendering recently. The latter will be an
additional approach not targeted yet by Marlin FX.

I'd appreciate such a solution too.

I think that Marlin-Renderer can be included not as a default
renderer to limit the impact to the jdk9 release , but leave to the
user / developer the possibility to use and test on real applications
the benefit of this Renderer .
This is only an user opinion , but i think that the benefits are big.
