Hi Jim,
If pix_draw is faster than pix_texture, then I have the suspicion that you don't have OpenGL hardware support enabled. (Although I am not sure why texturing should be faster in one case and slower in the other, especially texturing images should be really fast)
scaleXYZ doesn't work with pix_ objects, it only has effect on OpenGL objects (like the square).
Resizing for pix objects would be very slow, thats probably why there is no object for that.
I don't think that more RAM would help, faster RAM probably, but surely not too much.

Hi,
I am having trouble scaling images using pix_draw. I thought I could scale an image using scale or scaleXYZ before pix_draw but it seems like these objects have no effect. I can scale an image by texture mapping onto a square and resizing it but I find it is slower than pix_draw in this case. When rendering movies I've found that texture mapping is faster but the image is more distorted. I'm using GEM 0.87 under Linux. Is this a problem with pix_draw or is it supposed to work this way? I have a fast processor ( 1 GHz) a good video card (Nvidia 2Go) and I find movies are playing quite slowly. I only have 128 MB ram. Just ordered another 256 MB hoping this will speed things up. Wondering what other people are using to get realtime playback with MPEGs in Linux? Thanks, Jim
