Hi Nicolas Thanks for the post. I'm going to finish optimizing all of the non-rendering pieces of my code, then I'll see if trying the hardware rendering makes sense. Right now I am software rendering 3.5 million triangles in about 5 seconds, but the setup (masking etc) is taking about 40.

Thanks for posting the link to glumpy. As Benjamin explained, glumpy servers as a testbed for various technics that could be implemented later in matplotlib. The main problem today is that if you want to benefit from hardware acceleration, you have to use some GL features that are not

Hi all I'm rendering some images with about 3.5 million triangles into a 512x512 png file using tricontourf. I'm running this in a virtual machine, and I'm pretty sure that there is no graphics rendering hardware being used. Is it possible, assuming the hardware was available, to make
