Thank you for the console example. I really don't have anything too complicated, just basic 1 pixel wide lines, arcs and simple text the most complex shapes are outlines of ellipses. I don't have any surfaces or textures or anything really complicated. I did appreciate how much better 1 pixel wide lines and curves appear with the anti-aliasing and sub-pixel accuracy provides.

Yes, I don't know why the Free Pascal team doesn't make official 64-bit versions of FPC. I always end up having to compile my own full 64-bit FPC - which is very easy by the way. > AggPas looks awesome, but can I use it with my console application? Yes, you definitely can. I use AggPas in multiple headless servers too as console or CGI applications. > I downloaded it and can't even run the sample programs included with > it.. maybe they are Delphi examples or something? Correct, unfortunately the demos are all GUI based demos at this time, but any of the actual drawing code inside those demos will be exactly the same for a console application. Probably the easiest way to get your feet wet with AggPas is to use the agg_2D.pas (for non-GUI apps) unit. It doesn't give you the full power of AggPas, but presents you with a Agg2D object where you simply need to make graphic drawing method calls. For example: // Star shape agg^.LineCap(CapRound); agg^.LineWidth(5); agg^.LineColor($32 ,$cd ,$32 ); c1.Construct(0, 0 , 255, 200); c2.Construct(0, 0, 255, 50); agg^.FillLinearGradient(100, 100, 150, 150, c1, c2); agg^.Star(100 ,150 ,30 ,70 ,55 ,5 ); Attached is a console app example using the agg_2D.pas unit. It also uses the FPImage units (included with FPC) to generate a "test.png" image as output. You could use Memory Images too, depending on your application needs. Compile the example with the following command $ fpc -FUunits -Fu../ -Fi../ Agg2DConsole.dpr Adjust the -Fu and -Fi paths to match your environment, or simply save the Agg2DConsole.dpr into the "agg-demos" directory and compile with the above command.
