The higher level functions are those listed in first half of SpiceCanvasOps struct. If you implement the same as the GDI canvas, you should be good. The rest of the functions are needed in acase base case: if you don't override all higher-level functions, you can use the common code in canvas_base.c and implement the simpler functions called from there. > Kind reagards, > Mario > > > Am 07.10.2013 13:12, schrieb Marc-André Lureau: > > Hi > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > >> Hi, > >> > >> I just compiled the spice-gtk client (spicy) on OSX > >> (http://www.spice-space.org/page/OSX_Client/Build). > >> > >> I am able to connect to the spice server using this client but it is > >> more slow than any VNC client I know. > >> > >> > >> I looked into the code and found two different places where this > >> client > >> seems to be different than the x11 or GDI versions: > >> > >> 1.)
