Author	Message
osw.. #1 / 3	ANN: Gfx Graphics Library Release 1.11 The new Gfx release 1.11 is available at ftp://ftp.inf.ethz.ch/pub/software/Oberon/System3/Contrib/Gfx/ Documentation about Gfx is included in the release but can also be found at " http://www.--.com/ ~oswald/GfxOverview.html" " http://www.--.com/ ~oswald/GfxHowto.html" Gfx is a powerful 2D graphics library for Oberon System 3 supporting the following features: * stroked and filled shapes bounded by arbitrary paths built from lines, elliptic arcs, and cubic Bezier curves * a variety of graphical attributes including dashed curves, stroke and fill patterns, line cap styles and line join styles for thick curves * fully integrated text rendering * device independent user coordinate system and support for affine transformations * bitmap support for up to 24 bits per pixel * arbitrarily shaped clipping areas * output to display, printer, bitmaps, and PS/EPS files Gfx has originally been developed as a part of the Leonardo graphics editor. It is now released as a stand-alone package in the hope that it may be useful for other applications that make heavy use of high-level graphics. Most interfaces are now considered to be in near-final shape. Future releases will most likely be restricted to minor improvements and bug fixes. Thank you for your attention.

It's still to early for me to say much about it. I did have a little trouble getting the GfxTest program to run correctly, but then I realized that the old version of Leonardo had installed some Gfx modules and these were conflicting with the new ones. So I killed all of the old Gfx files, re-installed the new ones and ALMOST everything is working. GfxTest.Patterns displays 11 patterns but traps on the 12th. (Integer division by zeron in GfxDisplay.Tile.) GfxTest.Bart also traps. (Looks like the same trap. Integer division by zero in GfxDisplay.Tile.)

These two commands load a picture via GfxMaps.Load(). I'm pretty certain that the problem is caused by the "Pict" extension not being registered yet with GfxMaps. IIRC you're using Windows Oberon so try this: System.Set ImageFormats Pict := GfxPictures.Install This notifies GfxMaps that loading ".Pict" should be done by module GfxPictures. There is a section in Gfx.Tool (part of Gfx111.Arc) on installation where this command is also listed. Note that if you use Leonardo you'll have to download and compile Leonardo111.Arc, too. Hope this helps -- Erich
