Subject: GDI+ and REALbasic
After months of hemming and hawing about what to do with the GDI+
library, I've finally settled on something that should make
REALbasic users very happy. I'm proud to announce that Advanced
Graphics for Windows <http://www.aaronballman.com/programming/
REALbasic/gdip.php> is now available for download. What's better
than that, you say? Why, the fact that it's free, of course!
Months of labor and toil, long nights, and dirty looks from Lis
have brought you over 40 project items spanning the entire GDI+ set
of functionality, all packaged up in a great, object-oriented set
of REALbasic classes. So the same power and utility C++ and .NET
programmers enjoy can now be accessed from your own projects too.
For those of you with a more Mac-centric background, GDI+ is to GDI
(which is what REALbasic's Graphics object is based on) like
CoreGraphics is to QuickDraw. It's the next-gen version of OS
graphics functionality which supports things like transparency,
anti-aliasing, and hardware accelerated rendering. It's available
on almost all versions of Windows via a redistributable, but has
come native on Windows for the last five years (Windows XP and up).
Enjoy!
(PS -- some of you paid me in advance for a copy of this
functionality when I was considering selling it instead of giving
it away for free. Contact me via email so we can discuss returning
your funds to you.)
