We think that using wxWidgets and OpenGL is a good choice for the future, but we agree that Amaya 9.x versions need improvements and we continue to work hard on them. A better control of OpenGL used resources is one of the improvements we already did in the future version. We have less problems with Linux versions because Amaya provides its own OpenGL library (Mesa). It's unfortunately not the case on Windows platforms and Amaya has to use the implementation provided by the current installed driver. We encourage people to update their driver version and probably avoid driver optimizations to solve a large set of prefromance problems. > In the meantime I tried Amaya, Visio and StarOffice to diagram a finite > automata for the design of a web site's interaction.

We'd like to work on this king of SVG edits, but we first need to make Amaya more stable. -- Irène. ----- Irène Vatton INRIA Rhône-Alpes INRIA ZIRST e-mail: Irene.Vatton@inria.fr 655 avenue de l'Europe Tel.: +33 4 76 61 53 61 Montbonnot Fax: +33 4 76 61 52 07 38334 Saint Ismier Cedex - France
