Greetings, I'm looking for an (Open Source) SVG rendering engine that can render natively to OpenGL; using OpenGL drawing commands rather than doing software rasterization and then converting the result to a texture or such.
So far I've not found such a thing - all I've found are software like librsvg which uses Cairo as its canvas then converts the resulting image buffer to a texture. Possibly Glitz could be used here, but the documentation seems sparse and I think librsvg does a lot of its rendering internally. Other software I've looked into seems to be similar in this respect. So is there actually any software that does what I want? I can't really see any reason why it wouldn't be possible, though I imagine it would require rendering each element to an offscreen buffer, such as a texture, before compositing. The difference here is that the rendering would still be hardware accelerated as all the drawing and compositing would be done by the graphics hardware, rather than simply the final compositing. If I've missed something that makes this impossible/impractical, I'd appreciate being put right :). Similarly if there's already something out there that does that and I've somehow missed it. I hope that all made sense; I'm desperately tired so if I've missed some crucial point of the explanation, let me know. Thanks for reading, and if anybody can enlighten me in any way I'd be grateful, Aneurin Price ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
