I would recommend clutter then. It's got built in cairo support, up2date python bindings and an impressive feature list. pyclutter: <a href="http://www.clutter-project.org/blog/?p=82">http://www.clutter-project.org/blog/?p=82</a> the source download of pyclutter has some good examples <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 8:18 AM, Donn <<a href="mailto:donn.ingle@gmail.com">donn.ingle@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi all, I am evaluating Panda3D with the general aim of doing animation. Does anyone here know (with some Python code) how/if I can produce textures by way of pyCairo -- so that I can produce textures in memory and not have to load from files? My general plan is to produce a "frame" of drawing in a cairo context and then slurp that across (as quickly as I can) into a texture on a plane. A bit like playing a video, except that each frame is rendered before being drawn. I am scouring the web at the moment and am in that fragile 'choose your toolkit poison' position where I could jump to Clutter/Pigment or Panda given the basic needs I have. Hope that made sense! \d -- \/\/ave: <a href="mailto:donn.ingle@googlewave.com">donn.ingle@googlewave.com</a> home: <a href="http://otherwise.relics.co.za/%0A2D" target="_blank">http://otherwise.relics.co.za/ 2D</a> vector animation : <a href="https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/things/" target="_blank">https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/things/</a> Font manager : <a href="https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/fontypython/" target="_blank">https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/fontypython/</a> -- cairo mailing list <a href="mailto:cairo@cairographics.org">cairo@cairographics.org</a> <a href="http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo" target="_blank">http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo</a> </blockquote></div>
