Hi
Just a simple and naive question :
Is there a difference in performance between Swing and FX when using Marlin Renderer ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Java2D & JavaFX are different APIs and have their own rendering pipelines.

Recently I made some tests with both MapBench & MapBenchFX and it seems pixel blending loops are slightly faster with JavaFX (nvidia shader support).

However, I usually use Java2D for image rendering (but supports also some GPU acceleration via VolatileImage) although JavaFX is mainly for desktop (D3D & OpenGL ES shaders) and is only single-threaded.

Maybe I could run some tests using my MapDemo (2D) and MapBenchFX (FX) using the same visible window size...
