in reply to Re^3: Visual Perl
in thread Visual Perl

By "graphics" I mean display of bitmaps, pictures, vector images and 3d models, etc.

I'm very interested in visualizing information in windows, tables, text boxes that can be selected and extracted and controled, but I don't need hi-performance graphics.

So graphically there is some display dependencies--as once something goes to a display there are physical characteristics that probably can't be avoided, but I think where Perl shines is in manipulating information--not visual devices. I don't want to learn OpenGL for example, just to visually display tables showing the differences in two different directory trees. But doing so solely in text, or in HTML (which gives me some features, but requires me to output to a format that is difficult to manipulate once it is output) can be cumbersome.
