uint needs to be long or ulong

it's ok i didn't either, last post. it's a lot of code.

having trouble getting cairo under windows. could be cuz i'm using fbc 1.09, need to update headers

here was the error.. (will try again tomorrow)

./cairo.dll: file not recognized: file format not recognized

the array-less .. i missed that created sub set_aa() changed subs xy to single '#cmdline "-gen gcc -arch native -Wc -Ofast,-mfpmath=sse,-funroll-loops" #include once "cairo/cairo.bi" #define _rd_ Cast(Ubyte Ptr,@colour)[2]/255 #define _gr_ Cast(Ubyte Ptr,@colour)[1]/255 #define _...

haha

the non-aa look pretty good. thanks for sharing!

checking to see if cairo flickers, i performed my usual test - how good the lines look rotating .. no more flicker. then i cranked up the line count. seemed slow so i squeezed in my algorithm for comparison /' anti-aliased lines comparison - 2024 Apr 26 - by dafhi cairo's clearscreen is faster than ...

@Makoto - you can try -gen gcc -arch native -Wc -Ofast,-mfpmath=sse,-funroll-loops

thanks for checking it out!

thanks for providing the image. that's beautiful.

these questions are fun. my memory seems to be fleeing xD ..

now im inspired to make integer anti-aliased dots

a few have done integer non-aa lines, and they render fast

i can think of a few. run-time eval, procedural functions. i'll keep it on my back-burner
