Igor will release soon a new canvas that directly access openGL.
The new canvas is called Athens
Athens supports
Cairo
OpenGL
bitmap
Athens OpenGL calling is based on NativeBoost.
Now on the way to go there Javier used NativeBoost to check how we can get
access to openGl Context on linux.
I should sit with igor this morning to get a cube in OpenGL debugging on the
fly presentation and we will do a
video for YOU. Happy :).
