State:

I Made a comparison on a large dataset (~200.000 Spots). Rendering a view that contained all spots and edges in the existing Grapher took ~800ms on my machine. Rendering in the OpenGL Grapher took 1-2ms on my machine.

Known Missing Features in OpenGL Grapher:

[x] Rectangular selection of points
[ ] Drawing of Labels when zooming in
[x] Using Styles set in Preferences for drawing
[x] Refresh of drawing area after setting new features and pressing 'plot'
[ ] Drawing animations
[x] Show selected points
[x] Updating selections in other views
[x] Update, when selections in other views were updated
[x] Zoom with the Z button

Investigate

[x] How to deliver the correct natives to the user via update sites? Required natives depend on the OS of the user.

About the installation process, I found out the following: The update site that delivers the plugin needs to have in the jars subfolder:

/jars/mastodon-grapher-opengl-*.jar
/jars/lwjgl-3.3.*.jar
/jars/lwjgl3-awt-0.1.8.jar
/jars/lwjgl-jawt-3.3.*.jar
/jars/lwjgl-opengl-3.3.*.jar

Moreover, it needs to have system specific subfolder in the jars subfolder (e.g. for windows64):

/jars/win64/lwjgl-3.3.*-natives-windows.jar
/jars/win64/lwjgl-glfw-3.3.*-natives-windows.jar (perhaps not needed, if no performance difference without it)
/jars/win64/lwjgl-opengl-3.3.1-natives-windows.jar

For Mac the natives would need to be in

/jars/macosx

For Linux the native would need to be in

/jars/linux64

The support for Grapher styles is now partial: the colors are abided, but not the shape. I think it is reasonable not to go that way: we want to keep the drawing efficient.

There is now the zoom box which is nice. You will need to pull from the opengl-beta31 branch in mastodon to use it.

I also tried to harness multiple platforms. I modified maven so that it works out of the box.

I am hitting a roadblock with mac arm arch and won't be trying to address it. https://imagesc.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/327237-SciJava/topic/Maven.20profiles.20for.20natives.20with.20macs.20M1

I will test later how it works on Window.
