I would like to ask if we have tile row hinting?<br>
Described here <a href="http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gimp/tree/NEWS?h=gimp-1-2" target="_blank">http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gimp/tree/NEWS?h=gimp-1-2</a> as<br>

"The image compositing has been speed up by<br>
implementing hints to the tile structure.<br>
That way the render-engine knows for example<br>
if a row is totally transparent and can skip<br>
the calculation."<br></blockquote><div><br>Well, we do not have it as you described, we have extent() mechanism only to skip transparent pixels.<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Dimitry, do you know about any papers/articles describing the tile engine?<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Which do you mean? General science articles? I can't remember any =( But i shall take a look.<br><br>If you mean ones describing our engine, we could discuss it, and i could write some if needed.<br>
<br>I was publishing some initial ideas to the mail-list and a blog. Some of them have transformed a bit during implementation, but only a bit. =)<br><a href="http://dimula73.blogspot.com/">http://dimula73.blogspot.com/</a><br>
