===== Evas Engines Concept =====
|
|
|
|
Evas delegates most of the actual rendering work to its engines. Engines are
|
|
the backends that Evas uses to render (primitive) objects on a canvas. The
|
|
canvas can be the screen, or a buffer in the memory.
|
|
|
|
Evas can work with and provides multiple engines, such as (this list is
|
|
non-exhaustive):
|
|
|
|
* buffer: all the rendering takes place in a buffer
|
|
* fb: the rendering takes place in the system's framebuffer
|
|
* software_x11: this is the most used, using X11
|
|
* gl_x11: this also renders to an X11 window, except that it uses OpenGL
|
|
|
|
These implement the rendering of all the basic objects by themselves, because
|
|
they often can be accelerated by the hardware or backend software libraries to
|
|
provide fast rendering.
|
|
|
|
If a particular engine does not have the provision for a certain primitive
|
|
object, it reverts back to using a default software version.
