different plot engines used in matplotlib

[Reimar Bauer]

We want to verify if we could also use the gr framework inside of mss.

http://gr-framework.org/installation.html

The gr framework is based on OpenGL and should give a speedup on plot creation. It is available as conda package

[Reimar Bauer]

the recent gr-framework can be compiled and used but it is not on conda-forge updated

[Reimar Bauer]

at the moment a recent version on conda or conda-forge is available we can try again

[Reimar Bauer]

this may become reopened later again
