Chris has been interested in this for a while, mostly because it would be one of our more OS independent devices as pretty much any OS these days supports OpenGL. Ultimately I think it would be similar to the Cairo and Qt drivers where you would have a choice of providing (and managing) a GL context (extqt, extcairo), or PLplot would do all of this for you (qtwidget, xcairo). I'm not sure how far Chris has gotten on this project since our last discussion, but we do at least have a working outline of the driver including integration into the PLplot build system. I guess I don't foresee spinning 3D plots as this would involve extensive changes to PLplot core. best, -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
