Graphical Algorithm documents

2003-11-17 Thread S. Meslin-Weber
Hi Everyone,

I stumbled on some interesting algorithm documents today and thought 
others implementing low-level primitives in Java (Graphics and/or Java2D) 
might find them useful. I emailed the author and we are welcome to use the 
documents at:

http://www.magic-software.com/Documentation/

Hope some other than I will find this useful!

Thanks,

Stephane

P.S. I'm including his email for information (both addresses are readily 
available on our respective sites so no point masking them):

Hello Stephane.

I develop open source software and recently came across the files
contained on your website: http://www.magic-software.com/Documentation/
through a google search. I am implementing some low-level graphical
primitives in Java and searched for an integerised ellipse algorithm.
Before using these documents as the basis for my implementation I would
like to request your permission to do so. I also believe that others in
related open source projects could benefit from your documentation, are
there any plans on making them available from your main site?
You may reach the documentation from the home page, select the
"Source Code" tab, then select the "Documentation" tab.  Also from
the "Source Code" tab, select the "Image Analysis" tab.  At the bottom
of that page are files WmlRasterDrawing.{h,cpp}.  These files contain
implementations of integerised ellipse algorithms.
You are welcome to use the documentation and the source for your
projects.

Thanks for that info. It looks very useful.
It is of course OK to read about those algorithms and create an
implementation of them for inclusion in GNU Classpath. But please
contact me before you use/copy any code snippets. The commercial-use
restrictions in their license look confusing to me and when we want to
use it in GNU Classpath (which may be used commercially) we certainly
have to contact the author about it (and check with fsf-licensing).

Thanks,
