0.8.0¶
We are happy to announce another developmental release under the summer fellowship at The Processing Foundation. The project was supervised by Mark Zhang. This release comes with an experimental 2D renderer using Skia. The skia 2D renderer shows significance improvements in both rendering and efficiency of the sketches.
Bug Fixes¶
- #276
- #311
- #308
- #309
- #355
- #352
New Features¶
- Along with the snake_case convention we support the camelCase convention for most Processing APIs #280
- New experimental 2D renderer “skia” #344. Skia currently does not support typography and Image APIs, they will be implemented in further releases.
List of New APIs¶
frame_rate
sets frame rate for a sketch (only for skia)rect
now supports border radius (only for skia)CORNERS
CORNERS mode added (only for skia)focussed
holds whether the current window is in focus or not (only for skia)
All the API previously present are supported as well in skia.
Here are some profiling results comparing the time taken to draw 100 frames for different sketches
Name | Skia | Vispy |
---|---|---|
arcs | 2.11s | 10.06s |
custom_shapes | 1.84s | 5.00s |
triangle_strip | 2.55s | 3.33s |
custom_shapes2 | 2.02s | 4.14s |
curves | 1.76s | 5.41s |
primitives | 1.73s | 3.9s |

v0.8.1¶
We are happy to announce the final developmental release under the summer fellowship at The Processing Foundation The project was supervised by Mark Zhang. This release adds on to the experimental 2D renderer using Skia.
New Features¶
Typography support for skia #371¶
- p5py now support all types of fonts as found in other processing ports
- 5x efficiency in font sketches as compared to vispy renderer
Image APIs for “skia” #344¶
Support for Offscreen buffers #386¶
- create_grahpics is now available in p5py's skia renderer
Support for python 3.10 #395¶
- Please see the attached note below
This release includes contributions from @tushar5526, @ziyaointl, and @Mr-Sunglasses, Thank you!
PS: There are a lot of good open issues that currently need help and we would love your contributions!
NOTE¶
pyopengl-accelarate
is omitted from the requirements.txt
temporarily. See #397 for more information about this. If you are
looking for better 3D performance you can install it from the
requirements.txt
file.

0.8.2¶
This is a minor release that fixes a few bugs and adds a few new features.
- pyopengl-accelarate upstream issue was fixed and we can install the package now on Linux.
- Fixed preload bug
