is it Gtk? to be fast and reliable

fast includes changing the drawing fast

i would like to have a single, dedicated window that my julia draws on. if one had access to the pixels of a video, it should be possible to render teh video at the same level as any other player on that computer (think macOS e.g.) could

Hey @1m1 you can draw on images with ImageDraw.jl, like I did here: [2- Object Tracking in Julia(VideoIO.jl, Makie.jl, Images.jl) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/EFNHG3Sv4dU) does in part what you want to do if I understand correctly. And it’s pretty fast.
