It's not so much they are amazed it capable of doing this. But more of a WOW this is fast compared to rendering theses slow PDF pages on the CPU.
It's a bit like saying: wow this rocket propelled car is fast. Are we surprised it is faster ? No. Are we like: "wow we could go faster !"? Yes
To be fair, I don't understand why we don't have a lib, or even this stuff build into OpenGL/Direct3D. We are doing raster work CPU's. It's relatively slow.
- corysama 11y agoMicrosoft has Direct2D https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd370987(v=vs.85).aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd3... Nvidia has it's nvPathRendering extension to OpenGL https://developer.nvidia.com/nv-path-rendering https://developer.nvidia.com/nv-path-rendering I'm not aware of a fully portable equivalent to either of these two libs.
