Visualization Engine - Frequently Asked Questions
How can I use Panel without using the Visual Studio Designer?
ILNumerics 2D/3D rendering Panels are regular WPF FrameworkElements / Windows.Forms.Control. If for some reasons it does not show up in the toolbox, you can add the panel programmatically to your forms. A quick start guide is provided here: visualization getting started
Does the Visualization Engine utilize any Hardware Acceleration
Yes. OpenGL. The SW renderer based on GDI+ is a full featured fallback, though. It is used automatically, when at runtime no OpenGL is available.
How to run my offsreen rendering app on Linux?
Version 7.2. introduced new compatibility features. It is now (again) possible to use ILNumerics.Drawing.GDIDriver on non-Windows platforms for offscreen rendering. Further, SVGDriver is supported on non-Windows platforms, too. More details are found here: Offscreen rendering on Linux.
