Well then my hat off to you sir

I am asking because rendering graphics is certainly an expensive (CPU and RAM) process. Rendering graphics is certainly something that interests me.��

Of course I dont expect Pharo to compete with C , but then thats why we have Nativeboost. But I would love to see Roassal evolve to a full blown graphics engine. Certainly motivates me more to learn Roassal as deeply as I can. I remember when you first said I should use Roassal for my vector editor , I was quite sceptical. But seeing all these new apps pop up from real scientists made me think twice and now I have put my vector editor on hold to learn more about Pharo and Roassal and of course Moose.��

Would love to help you document it further. Though for now I am learning it in a very slow pace. Congrats to you and all people involved with the libraries and of course to the people making the apps. You certainly changed my mind and I would love to see more apps that show the potential of these libraries.

I am also wondering if you are so ambitious whether porting C libraries like imagmagick would make sense for Roassal.��

Or possibly other C graphics libraries.

The picture is rendered in Roassal, but raw data is obtained from a file.
AstroCloud, an application made on top of Roassal, does some sophisticated color mapping and transformation.
