Description

The GTK core team has been working on new GSK renderers for about a year before merging them at the beginning of this year. In this talk we'll present various angles of this effort, and go into some depth to present the technical underpinnings and tradeoffs of GTK's rendering infrastructure.

The presentation should be of particular interest to both app developers who want to get the most out of GTK's rendering capabilities and to prospective GTK contributors. Our goal is to make it enjoyable for anybody with a passing interest in rendering and graphics.
