emacs-gl VS emacs-application-framework

By the way, why only for pgtk? It would be nice to have it without pgtk or xwidgets (OpenGL was avaialable via xwidgets since quite some time, as a plugin).

If you need some 3D viz, there is also an Emacs binding to OpenGL. I believe it works only on X11, but I am not sure.

Webrender is using openGL. There are existing work out there regarding this. https://github.com/Jimx-/emacs-gl . But I would prefer WebGPU API over opengl's if I want to do computer graphics.

There is also a module to do OpenGL. You will have to compile the module yourself, but it shouldn't be too hard. No idea though how well, if at all, it works on macos.

Generally, librsvg (svg.el), is your best option to start with graphing in Emacs. Alternatively, if you are really ambitious you could take a look at Emacs-gl if you are familiar with OpenGL. Those are your drawing library. On top of them you will have to create some higher level library to draw charts, you could either adapt/convert one existing from some of other projects, for example there are several popular and good libraries for javascript that could probably work well with svg renderer. Perhaps take a look at some of Common Lisp charting libraries and see if you can make them work on top of svg.el or emacs-gl. For example, cl-2d seems quite reasonable to port to Emacs Lisp.

Great! I love this. I have a similar motivation system, but which is graphical by design. Right now I use an external program to manage the UI, but have considered integrating it using Emacs-EAF.

Just discovered this project Emacs Application Framework? Looks pretty interesting. They seem have developed everything from a web browser to a pdf reader. Anyone used it yet? What are your thoughts about it?

Thank you for the reply! This is a bit disheartening. I was hoping that it was possible with something like EAF.

I'm very new to using Emacs. I used it a bit for school but learned nothing about how to modify it etc. Recently I installed Doom Emacs which is very cool, and then I found out about Emacs Application Framework. Unfortunately I have no idea how to install it on Doom because the guide only talks about vanilla emacs. I found a reddit thread about it which also cites a github discussion, but unfortunately I have no idea what they are talking about. I tried to do some stuff without understanding. I am not 100% sure what I did but it didn't really work and I don't even know for sure how to get everything back to where it was before I added anything and start trying again.

There is also this guy with EAF. I have never used it myself, but it seems to expose Qt, which should give you lots of opportunity. I don't know how simple/difficult it is to get it going, and how well it works on macos.
