I like prototyping too. I also like hacking up things quickly - that's why I dig Python. I also think libraries with good interfaces can be very useful. In retrospect, though, I disagree with myself - or the version of myself on Feb. 16th. Namely: >> In other applications, building more complex structures out of the functions >> provided by a 2D primitives shim library would almost never be a good idea. It actually might be a good idea if the library is structured in such a way to make grouping your drawing operations efficient - and without invoking large amount of *magic* leading to unforeseen corner cases. I've thought of 2 ways to do this - I'm sure there are more. -- \\\\\/\"/\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\/ // //\/\\\\\\\ \\\/ \\// /\ \/\\\\ \\/ /\/ / /\/ /\ \\\ \/ / /\/ /\ /\\\ \\ / /\\\ /\\\ \\\\\/\ \/\\\\\/\\\\\/\\\\\\ d.p.s --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
