I just did some benchmarking on the encoding of ndarray data in Python. Perhaps this helps create some enthusiasm for this feature :) I used a test array of 1000x1000...

The direction we're heading: regarding our API we're going for consistency and good documentation instead of adding convenience "shortcuts". An easier (higher level) API would be a separate layer (like...

I also think that PyGfx should *not* offer a plotting API itself, but rather that it'd be a new library that sits on top of PyGfx. It may be worth...

fastplotlib 😆 Will check it out, very interesting!

Yes

Yes, its sort of standard practice to use vertex buffers, but that's also because storage buffers are not around for that long. Or at least they always felt "advanced/special" in...

I think we have two options. I'll try to list some pro's and cons: * Don't use vertex buffers in PyGfx. * pro: Simpler codebase (everything is a binding). *...

After some research, and discussions this morning, we've decided to use storage buffers everywhere and drop support for vertex buffers for the `Shader` objects. Arguments: * From what I could...
