Clutter has numerous rendering backends also - GLX, EGL (GLES 1 & 2), WGL, Apple GL etc - its just we integrate tighter and take better advantage of the hardware available - i.e we dont just accelerate blits. > > that's what gustavo was talking about - not the rotation. efl doesn't starve > your cpu if you don't want it to. the usability covers a much wider range of > hardware than clutter. > I cant disagree it works on ancient hardware better than Clutter. Im also sure it doesn't starve the CPU nor kill your battery if you really know what your doing and dont try too much (like rotating or transforming anything ;-P... sorry, could not resist). == Matthew --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Corporation (UK) Limited Registered No. 1134945 (England) Registered Office: Pipers Way, Swindon SN3 1RJ VAT No: 860 2173 47 This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
