Hi,
I'm trying to use OpenGL to render my own SvgKnob (rotary slider) extending Slider object.
According to that topic:
http://www.juce.com/forum/topic/new-opengl-classes
I'm setting my MainWindow as an OpenGLRenderer, setting openGLContext as follows:
openGLContext.setRenderer (this); openGLContext.attachTo (*this); openGLContext.setContinuousRepainting (true);
For testing purposes, there are 40 knobs rendered from SVG to the Drawable objects, randomly changing at 20FPS.
In custom SvgKnobLookAndFeel::drawRotarySlider(..) method, set for SvgKnob, I'm just creating transformation with such code:
AffineTransform t = AffineTransform::rotation(fractRotation * M_PI, 50, 50); g.addTransform(t); pointer->draw(g, 1.0);
When debugging - g's low level context is the OpenGLRendering::ShaderContext (it's OK, isn't it?)
Nevertheless - it's not working with 0% CPU as it should - takes sth like 7-10%. Looking at profiler - spending time mostly on starting new Thread - GL thread probably (see shared dropbox link).

Subtracting the time for creating those threads - there would be almost no delay for GL rendering, as it should be.
What I'm doing wrong? I was trying to attach GL context to knobs separately, but it didn't work (and shouldn't).
Any ideas, hints or proper solutions?
regards
