It would be really nice if you (or another AGG fan?), being familiar with AGG, look into and perhaps post an example showing how GIL could work with AGG. For example, how do we draw a line directly inside a GIL view. It doesn't have to be a fully-generic view. Let's start with something simple like:
void draw_line(const rgb8_view_t& view, int x0, int y0, int x1, int y1) { // AGG magic here. }
You can get the dimensions, stride and pointer to pixels of a GIL view. Can you make a shallow AGG rendering buffer from them and draw a line into it?
The next question is, can we make draw_line more generic, and how much more generic (i.e. what kinds of images are possible)
Hi Lubomir, I have something better than that :) I'll provide code and details in my review. For now, here's something to look at: http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/gil/lion.png Those were rendered using GIL backend renderer with AGG front end rasterizer (sub-pixel anti-aliased). GIL is cool! So is AGG, of course :-) Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
