Explore texture-based approach for 2D datasets #47

Open TaylorMutch opened 7 years ago

TaylorMutch commented 7 years ago

Rendering dense datasets can run into video memory limitations. It may be useful to instead perform a texture-based approach to rendering out large datasets.

TaylorMutch commented 7 years ago

A texture-based approach affords us two possible advantages, and also potentially poses a challenge.

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

Considerations:

Overall, #34 and/or #22 could benefit from delving into this. It would allow for users to have more flexibility in terms of how their visualization looks.

May be useful in solving rendering issues with #41.
