I've been looking at widgets. One advantage is the ability to do splines and paths. I'm wandering about the sort of things that will be faster if we code it in a widget, than if we use Livescript.
For instance what about raster images - voting them painting areas of the canvas? Is that possible? Is it faster than moving and image object or button with a background pattern? How about other drawing routines? Also a fundamental question - what is the relationship between the canvas object that browsers use - and the way widgets draw to screen. None I guess? I'm wondering as some things are amazingly fast when drawn to the browser canvas - do we get the same sort of hardware acceleration when we use the native widget routines? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
