GL canvas

[Adrien Demarez]

Hello
(sorry for my poor english, I'm French !)

As I recently bougth an OpenGL HW accelerated card and saw its advantages, I 
wondered why canvases projects generally didn't make use of these features. I 
know the enlightenment project (e17) has made a canvas called evas that can make 
use of OpenGL hardware acceleration so my question is : why not use this (or 
OpenGL directly) in Sketch as all the dirty work is already done ? (and this 
could bring easily alpha transparency features in Sketch. Note that evas can 
fall down to a software implementation faster than Mesa for 2D if no hardware 
acceleration is available).

Another point : I know you have started to work on a GTK version, but (as it 
seems to be less known) I also wanted to point there is another great toolkit 
called fox (www.fox-toolkit.org) that is much more portable (and LGPL), and of 
course has Python bindings. Perhaps it is too late to consider it now but I 
still wanted to propose it...

Yours sincerely.
