Gtk2hs has an OepnGL binding. So you can create OpenGL context and draw there.
I don't think you will still be able to use parallel threads, but path to hardware renderer will be shorter for sure.
Thanks for the info! I looked at the documentation for GtkGLExt (I think you were referring to this), and compared to FieldTrip, I think it's a lot harder to write. As diving into either of these systems would require serious work, I'm not totally sure of this, but it seems that FieldTrip is more high-level with its wrappers and with GtkGLExts you still have to deal with lots of small details. Is it possible that that FieldTrip could export a data structure (Geometry3 ?) that can be read by GtkGLExts? That would solve the problem of interfacing between Gtk2hs and FieldTrip. regards, Herng Yi
