This page contains some ideas about future refactorization of libavogadro. They may seriously break ABI (and possibly API), and should be discussed
Rendering Widget
- Make libavogadro use abstract RenderWidget instead of GLWidget
- Inherit GLWidget from RenderWidget and QGLWidget, move GL-independent functionality (e.g., plugin access) up to RenderWidget
- Remove any OpenGL calls from engines, replace them by new methods of PainterDevice
- Add minimalistic SimpleRenderWidget without OpenGL (to create images for publication, b/w images, for use on old/heavy loaded PCs, etc)
- Create separate GLWidgets for OpenGL2, 3, 4, etc (?)
- "On-line" POV-Ray rendering for aesthetes (???)
