nv path rendering example

hi all,

Im new to jogl and to this community. I see that there are entry points for nv path rendering for 2d contours and text. Is there any example/demo code to exercise these entry points?

thanks

Hi

I think that there is no JOGL example but you should look at examples in plain C and port them:
https://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/NV/path_rendering.txt

Not from JOGL, colleagues and myself prefer to use our platform agnostic GPU
graph curve rendering.

interesting...sven what platform agnostic curve rendering toolkit do you use? openvg? are there any benefits/advantages/disadvantages of using those against nv path rendering? We support only nvidia cards so nvidia extensions are fine.

Graph, see the jogamp.org front page, one of our many BOF slides/videos
and ofc the online demo @
  https://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/jogl-test-applets.html

- Text and UI rendering via Graph
- 2nd column, 1st + 2nd row - as well as 1st column, 3rd row

See our TODO list:

thanks I'll look into them sven, and thanks gouessej for your suggestion.

You're welcome. I prefer Sven's suggestion as there are 2 patents on NV_path_rendering as far as I know. My main concern is that I have nothing to suggest for the fixed pipeline, the Graph API requires shaders.
