Hello,
This is on kubuntu linux.
I have a program that does animations. It uses the setMask() technique to do transparency. It works rather well but there is still sometimes flicker. So I thought maybe I can try opengl equivalent (besides buying a fast new machine) to see if that is faster. But I have no idea where to begin.
The image format is 8 bit indexed color.
Is this possible, feasible? Is there a chance it will be faster using opengl?
Strange oddity is that when I rotate the compiz cube, there is hardly flicker, as soon as I release the cube, flicker begins again, which also gave me the idea that opengl could improve things.
Thanks, Jean.
