great! Because the graphics look really really bad on my new macbook pro! Any ETA on this?

[doutriaux1]

@danlipsa want me to build this sha on my mac and let you guys know?

[danlipsa]

@doutriaux1 No, as it does not work yet. A VTK contributor works on this, as he knows macs best. I think he tries to make VTK work both in hi res and low res mode with low res being default - that is the default apple behaviour. We already have a solution to make it work only in hires.

@doutriaux1 The fix for this issue has just been merged into master.

This is the SHA: dbb7f8cec7c02c896d0d6a617d0f2207e0fd4bf1

[doutriaux1]

Awesome! Building it right now, will let you know!

[doutriaux1]

@danlipsa okay this is better, a few things are still borken

import vcs
x=vcs.init()
x.plot([1,2,3])

opens the tiniest window ever

z=vcs.init()
z.open()
z.plot(s)
z.clear()
z.close()
z.plot(s)

leads to a picture with a red background
