[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: SWT Advanced Graphics slow on linux?

Hi,

I'm so sorry for not to solve your problem, but I developed an aplication 
for linux using SWT advanced graphics, and I had problems that finally 
didn't have any solution. 

The slowness was in the function GC.setTransform(Transform) and that took 
minutes! to the data to be painted.

Finally we couldn't realize if it was an SWT, linux cairo, or a GTK 
problem.

I have donwloaded SWT 3.3M2 and it works fastly, but it does not perform 
text rotation :S

Well... I think we have to wait a "little" to use SWT advanced graphics.

luck...
