interesting

>
> The author makes some points:
> * the libraries have about equivalent functionality
> * dojox.gfx is about twice the size as raphaeljs
> * Animation isn't in dojox.gfx but another module, fx I think
>
> I read through the documentation of dojox.gfx and I have to say that I
> find it quite confusing. I looked at the demos here
>
> http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.3.2/dojo-release-1.3.2/dojox/gfx/demos/
>
> and I honestly don't think they are that impressive.
>
> I can't figure out where the animate() method is for the dojox.gfx or
> how to use it w/ gfx
>
> I spent a couple hours this afternoon trying to figure out how to do the
> same demo I created w/ raphaeljs using dojox.gfx. I got frustrated and
> well gave up. Have you been able to create something w/ dojox.gfx?

just few demos/turorials on internet


> I did a small demo w/ raphaeljs which work alright on the XO.

> It is pretty slow and choppy but it works.

> They both seem like good libraries but I find raphaeljs much more
> accessible.

> I'm agree with this, dojo has less documentation and fe examples
