OpenGL like graphics library with GLX hardware acceleration.
Special thanks must go to Mario Kemper for his assistance while creating,
debugging and testing this package.
- - use t1lib for superior rendering of type1 fonts
- - various improvements to gui: smoother paging, resizing;
add a couple more widgets to aid paging through large docs
News in 0.1.2: (1999-09-08)
Some more gnomifications,
Missing snap features for cones and cylinders has been added,
Switch to Automake 1.4, reorganize the source tree,
Helper files are now installed according to the FHS,
One little bugfix or two.
Image::Size returns a raw (X, Y) pair of the height and width of
an image, and includes wrappers to pre-format that output into
either HTML or a set of attribute pairs suitable for the CGI.pm
library by Lincoln Stein.
Currently Image::Size can size images in XPM, XBM, GIF, JPEG, PNG,
TIFF and the PPM family of formats (PPM/PGM/PBM).
This is a port of Thomas Boutell's gd graphics library. GD allows
creating color drawings using a large number of graphics primitives,
and emit the drawings as PNG files.
GIF images to PNG ones using netpbm at installation time. Update the
HTML documentation to use the generated PNG graphics.
Update to version 1.6.5 of fly whilst we're here.
Version: 1.6.5 15th January 1999
Minor bug fix. Seg fault on garbage input file or empty input
file. Thanks to Anatoly A. Orehovsky <tolik@mpeks.tomsk.su>
for the report and code fix.
Version: 1.6.4 24th November 1998
Minor bug fixes. Removing warnings and fixing minor errors in
some print statements. Thanks to Bernie Kirby
<bernie@iii.rmit.edu.au> for reporting the warnings.
Version: 1.6.3 22nd October 1998
Minor additional feature: any pair of diametrically opposite
vertices in any order will now be accepted for rect and frect.
Version: 1.6.2 25th September 1998
Minor bug fix - some return codes in case of fatal errors were
0 when they should have been 1.
Addition of code for win32 binmode problem. (thanks to Shoji
Mori <mori@moriken.com>)
Changes include:
- added option --no-mode-selection/-s to disable menu for
xsane mode selection
- prepared text outputs (in xsane-text.h) for NLS/gettext support
- removed change about SANE_STATUS_GOOD in multiple image mode.
Adf mode is detected by scanmode again. This would be better
selected by a mulit_image bit in the preferences block.
Jim Spath.
Changes from previous version include:
+ Version 1.6.3 corrects a memory leak in gd_png.c. This leak caused a
significant amount of memory to be allocated and not freed when
writing a PNG image.
+ Version 1.6.2 from John Ellson adds two new functions:
gdImageStringTTF gdImageColorResolve
+ Version 1.6.1 incorporates superior PNG reading and writing code
from Greg Roelofs, with minor modifications by Tom Boutell.
+ Version 1.6 features the following changes:
Support for 8-bit palette PNG images has been added. Support for GIF
has been removed. This step was taken to completely avoid the legal
controversy regarding the LZW compression algorithm used in GIF.
Unisys holds a patent which is relevant to LZW compression. PNG is a
superior image format in any case. Now that PNG is supported by both
Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape (in their recent releases),
we highly recommend that GD users upgrade in order to get
well-compressed images in a format which is legally unemcumbered.
+ Version 1.5 featured the following changes:
New GD2 format
Re-arranged source files
Extended I/O capabilities.
Better support for Lincoln Stein's Perl Module
Added functions
+ Version 1.4 features the following changes:
Fixed polygon fill routine (again)
Support for alternate data sources
Support for alternate data destinations
More tolerant when reading GIFs
denote that the package uses libXaw.
Introduce an XAW_TYPE definition, which is defined in /etc/mk.conf by
the user, to denote the type of libXaw to use. Possible values are:
standard, 3d and xpm.
Define USE_XAW in relevant Makefiles.
Set default XAW_TYPE in Makefiles which previously did a DEPENDS+= Xaw3d...
This means that package builds should not fail because of conflicting
Xaw packages being installed on machines.
