I want that for sharing Oficina (paint) activity through the mesh.<br>When a user enters in a shared drawing, the owner would send his pixmap for this new user.<br>Maybe serializing the pixmap wouldn't be a bad idea, cause it's passed once per user who join the activity and wouldn't let the activity slow after loaded.
<br>If you have any other advice, please let me know.<br><br>Thanks<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2007/11/28, Tomeu Vizoso <<a href="mailto:tomeu@tomeuvizoso.net">tomeu@tomeuvizoso.net</a>>:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
