I'm working with L-Systems, using the GIMP as the image visualization engine, and doing the actual string rewriting, etc. in perl-fu. My test images tend to get pretty complicated pretty fast - the one running now is interpreting 88,940 symbols in the l-system. While the number of lines that gets drawn isn't quite this large, we're still talking in terms of tens of thousands of calls to gimp_paintbrush. At the moment I call gimp_paintbrush once for each line segment, as it gets processed from the command string (those 88,940 symbols I mentioned earlier). I was wondering if there might be a noticeable performance improvement if I were to accumulate a large number of line segments (saving their coordinates in an array), and making one call to gimp_paintbrush with some large number of line segments. Is there a known upper limit to the number of end points that can go into the array passed to gimp_paintbrush? -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs <trefftzs@xxxxxxxx> http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzs Home Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/home.html Photo galleries
