About this talk
This talk, presented by Denis Ungemach from SAP SE, focuses on integrating the Skia graphics library into the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) to achieve hardware-accelerated rendering and enhance performance across different platforms. It begins by addressing the limitations of the current SWT graphics model, which relies on various platform-specific implementations, and outlines how switching to Skia can streamline rendering through GPU acceleration. The speaker discusses the integration architecture, which allows for a smooth transition between traditional graphics contexts and Skia, while maintaining compatibility with existing SWT applications. This session highlights the performance gains achieved through GPU acceleration and presents challenges related to text rendering and image handling, concluding with potential future developments for browser-based rendering integration.
