What vector rendering engine does Designer use?


Recommended Posts

The devs have developed a custom engine that plugs in to some OS X libraries and uses OpenGL acceleration. The early premise for the project was to develop an engine that could handle multiple large documents (e.g. opening many 20MP images) with the limits of an iPad that had something like 80MB memory available to apps.

 

Scaling it up for desktops and laptops has gone well, there are customers running the apps on 2007 hardware, maybe even late 2006 Core 2 Duos. I bought Designer for a friend using an early polycarb MacBook and saw it working very respectably (with a tablet too).
