<div>2007/12/14, Carl Worth <<a href="mailto:cworth@cworth.org">cworth@cworth.org</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I just received a note pointing out this positive review of cairo, (the reviewer found cairo to generate high-quality output *and* to be fast). That's certainly an encouraging datapoint, (though maybe it was only compared to _really_ slow code, I don't know). See below for details. -Carl From: "eGore" <<a href="mailto:eGore@gmx.de">eGore@gmx.de</a>> Subject: Cairo in PHP To: <a href="mailto:cworth@cworth.org"> cworth@cworth.org</a> Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:28:38 +0100 Hi Carl, not sure you are interested in an article that made some performance benchmark using cairo and gb. Anyway here you can find it: <a href="http://kore-nordmann.de/blog/comparision_of_php_image_libraries.html">http://kore-nordmann.de/blog/comparision_of_php_image_libraries.html</a> </blockquote></div>Yes, cairo beats gd in polygon test. I did this test in my private work ( sorry I can't post it here ). Another candidate is agg ( <a href="http://www.antigrain.com/">http://www.antigrain.com/</a> ) which is x6 - x8 times faster than cairo in polygon test. -- Best Regards, Nguyen Hung Vu <a href="mailto:vuhung16plus{remove}@gmail.dot.com">vuhung16plus{remove}@gmail.dot.com</a> An inquisitive look at Harajuku <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vuhung/sets/72157600109218238/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/vuhung/sets/72157600109218238/ </a>
