Hello, I have to draw high-quality antialiased 2D trapezoids. There are very strict quality regulations, so I can't use multisampling of fsaa. The problem I am faicng is that I don't know a good way to transport the trapezoid geometry down to the shader? I experimented using textures accessed by the shader, but to make this route efficiently I would have to render many trapezoids in one go, which makes the loopup-routines (to decide which pixel-value in the command-texture is which trapezoid and so on) very complex and slow. Ideally I would like to draw a single trapezoid per quad I render, with a very low overhead method of telling the shader the properties of the next trapezoid. Whats the preferred way to do so? Something like repeated: 1. Set properties of next trapezoid 2. Render one single trapezoid (shader on quad) I have heard the shader is re-compiled as when uniforms are changed, so that would have way too much overhead. Or is this information outdated? Can the problem above solved efficiently at all? Thank you in advance, Clemens

And do you know how slow setting uniforms is, if the driver doesn't do crazy things?
Is it the preferred way to transport small amounts of data into the shader frequently?
