I agree, I don't see that plplot would need to spin or in any other way manipulate the 3d plots. It would be up to the programmer to have the GL context wrapped in a 3D GL viewer, for example, if that kind of functionality is desired. On 03/19/2015 12:03 PM, Hazen Babcock wrote: >> From: Norma

Hi Norman I have wondered the same thing myself. I did some work with direct2d recently and wondered if there would be any performance gain using a hardware accelerated rendering with plplot. Presumably hardware accelerating the 3d work would give a speed increase, but this would mean some quite de
