The implementation uses the + <a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/">Cairo</a> API + functions and some GTK functions to support Unicode text. This driver can be + compiled and used in all systems Cairo is supported.</p> +<p>The main motivation for the use of Cairo was transparency for all the +primitives. Beyond that we got other features like anti-aliasing, gradient +filling, transformations and back-ends (support to rendering: PDF, PS, SVG and +PNG surfaces).</p> +<p>This driver still does not completely replace the X-Windows and GDI Windows +base drivers, because Cairo does not have support for bitwise XOR operations and +for complex clipping regions.</p> + +<h3>Behavior of Functions</h3> +<h4>Control </h4> +<ul> + <li><a href="../func/other.html#cdPlay"> + <font face="Courier"><strong>Play</strong></font></a>: does nothing, returns + <font face="Courier">CD_ERROR</font>. </li> +</ul> +<h4>Coordinate System and Clipping </h4> +<ul> + <li> + <a href="../func/coordinates.html#cdUpdateYAxis"> + <font face="Courier"><strong>UpdateYAxis</strong></font></a>: the + orientation of axis Y is the opposite to its orientation in the CD library.</li> +</ul> +<h4>Attributes </h4> +<ul> + <li> + <a href="http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/cd/en/func/attributes.html#cdWriteMode"> + <font face="Courier"><strong>WriteMode</strong></font></a>: does nothing. + There is no support for XOR or NOT_XOR.</li> + <li> + <a href="../func/text.html#cdNativeFont"> + <font face="Courier"><strong>NativeFont</strong></font></a>: also accepts the + X-Windows font string format.</li> + <li><a href="../func/text.html#cdFont"> + <font face="Courier"><strong>Font</strong></font></a>: "Courier" is mapped to + "Courier New", "Helvetica" is mapped to "Arial", and "Times" is mapped to + "Times New Roman".
