The Canvas book was my attempt to work with Xojo graphics to help increase awareness that quicker drawing can be performed in Xojo - which was over 3 years ago (time passes fast). The next graphical book was on OpenGL which has increased performance and less flickering in Windows, and its too bad that Mac is abandoning OpenGL for Metal because this would be a nice graphical option that is cross platform. I am currently writing a book on MemoryBlocks which will likely provide additional options for increased graphical speed.
Once the MemoryBlocks book is complete, then I should strongly consider updating the Canvas book, as there are many ways to increase graphics drawing performance on Windows (and the other OS’s).
My personal ultimate goal is to write a book on virtual reality graphics with Xojo, and it is slowly coming along and will not be ready for quite a number of years. In the meantime, maybe it will benefit the community for me to update the canvas book?
There are many great topics to write about with Xojo, and too little time to write it all
