requirements for Quartz Composer



Good day to all from a new Quartz Composer developer...

And now for my first question...

(that didn't take so long)

What is the required and/or recommended environment for running a Quartz Composition inside of an application? Is there a way to identify if one composition can be run on a specific hardware? I know that different Composer elements require different amounts of graphic & cpu power (ex. the Render objects work best with hardware graphic accelerators). The documentation mentions this, but does not give any guidelines.

Outside of hard requirements, is there any strategy or techniques for handling slower vs faster computers? I can image creating two compositions (one with fairly basic graphics, while the other is much more fancy and involved), and running one if you are on a slow G3 laptop, and the other if you are on a Duel Core G5.

Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated...

Thanks,
