Jack Perkins Junior Member Offline Posts: 99	Scale/rotate/translate more processor intensive? May 27th, 2009, 8:13pm   Hi, I was wondering if there is a decreased efficiency involved with drawing things to the grid if it's been translated. That is, does ellipse(10,200,10,10) 'cost' more processing wise if you call it after a rotate or translate?

OPENGL? 2) The best way to know is to test and measure... 3) I doubt it... And difference, if any, might be too small to be reliably measured.
