Graph Type Rendering Update 3

Just another little update, the 3rd, see first update and the second one for progress.

My favorite tagline from Niels Bohr, which I also have chosen for our Jenkins build & test server?

An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field.

The OpenJDK build and GlueGen iOS bring-up had its own little challenges, now I walked through another bunch of Apple API wonders as provided by iOS. It surely is not my personal platform of choice by any means, but providing a true platform agnostic solution one cannot choose 😉

So after countless of further iOS obstacles, I finally got a first visual just now: Continue reading “JogAmp iOS Arm64 Port: First Visuals …”
