Hi guys > Hazon, Jonathan: I would second the idea of having a memory buffer be the > target at some level. I have no arguments with this. However, a memory buffer is really targetting a slightly different problem. An X Drawable is a server-side resource and therefore there are possibly perfo

Hazon, Jonathan: I would second the idea of having a memory buffer be the target at some level. I would be interested in getting memcairo working--this allows for powerful direct manipulation of images via PDL, plplot and image libraries. I have used this to good effect on several occasions,

[Plplot-devel] [Patch] Using xcairo device with X Drawables

2008-03-04 Thread Jonathan Woithe
Hi I am working on an application which requires plots to be displayed within the context of the program's windows. In practice this means that I needed plplot to have the ability to plot to a supplied X Drawable rather than to an X window which plplot creates and manages itself. The attached pa
