pure pain brings you…


This surely isn’t much, but for me it means the world… sort of.

    That’s some evil looking triangle you got there :P

    Two questions:

    a) I don’t get it.. I know I’m supposed to find it cool but my brain keeps saying "it’s frikkin’ polygons - cairo goodness if I’m correct" bit I can’t see what I can use it for.

    b) hitting "new id" erases the lenghty reply I typed in here, that doesn’t seem logical..I would expect it to just generate a new image so I didn’t have to retype.. That evil even for a genius like you

    David… If get it, then surely it is you who is blind.

    If all you want to do is gripe, go and gripe to someone who cares!

    MacSlow - Can you get it to do the mixing in CMYK? That’d be cool ;)

    s/if get it/if you don\’t get it/

    This is probably related to the "I guess I’m too dumb post" (http://macslow.thepimp.net/?p=81) where he complained about how hard it was to create even a triangle with Xrender…

    I found out what was wrong with your code last night. Oh, you already figured it out. ;-) Well I still learned a little more about XRender myself.

    @ czubin: Oh yeah! This is a particularly nasty polygon ;)

    @ David: You just wait and see. It will have many serious and bling-related uses. I will write a patch for cairo to make those filtering-operations of XRender available in the cairo-API.

    @ Karl: The CMYK-colormodel isn’t directly covered by cairo. But as much (or rather as little) as I understand about colormodels and cairo, extending it to offer additional colormodels isn’t very difficult for people who know the theory behind it.

    @ Timon: Not the one you see in that screenshot. But the folks behind XRender, cairo and glitz are very keen on optimizing the shit out filtering once it is available in the cairo-API via fragment-shaders.

    @ Tom: No doubt about that :)

    @ Jeff: Still thanks for you concern. But I now feel to be on track for the work ahead for the cairo-patch.

    always wanted to learn how to use gtk+ well, but never found a goot tutoria/book/page that covered all pages from start to advanced..

    @ Diogo: I have learnt much from http://www.gtk.org/tutorial and the supplied example code shipping with each and every gtk+-release. gtk+ is very covered. Certainly not a grim as XRender.

    Please can you give us the code?

    @ stjepan: I cannot and will not drop every tiny bit of messing around into the public. Once I have a better understanding of things and/or have implemented something solid and useful the code will come.
