+ <li><span style="color: #0000FF">New:</span> API using canvas as a parameter.
+ Old API still exists. Library is backward compatible with previous versions,
+ but the documentation shows only the new names.
+ The new functions add a &quot;Canvas&quot; to the function prefix, for ex: the <strong>
+ cdLine</strong> equivalent is <strong>cdCanvasLine</strong>. For these
+ functions <strong>cdActivate</strong> is not required. But <strong>
+ cdCanvasActivate</strong> exists for special cases where the canvas must be
+ updated if an external factor was changed, like a window resize.
+ To facilitate the migration to the new API use the definition CD_NO_OLD_INTERFACE
+ to exclude the old API definitions and check if you are using only the new

+ based drivers that returns &quot;1&quot;. So it can be detected if the driver uses the
+ GDI+ base driver.</li>
+ <li><span style="color: #008000">Changed:</span> <strong>
+ <span style="color: #FF0000">INCOMPATIBILITY</span></strong> - removed
+ clipping simulation from the simulation base driver. It is not possible
+ anymore to simulate clipping, only primitives can be simulated.</li>
+ <li><span style="color: #008000">Changed:</span> canvas internal pointer allocation so it can be checked for valid canvas in
+ all external API function calls.</li>

+<ul>
+ <li><span style="color: #FF0000">Fixed:</span> in the Win32 driver the clipping of <font face="Courier New"><b>cdPutImage*</b></font> functions when
+ zooming was wrong. In the DoubleBuffer driver the main canvas <font face="Courier New"><b>cdOrigin</b></font> can be

+</ul>
+<h3>Version 4.0 (18/Feb/99)</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li><b>Summary</b>: (necessary due to the great number of changes).<br>
+ - Update of the Lua binding.<br>
+ - Several changes in the internal structure (most bringing benefits only to the driver developer).<br>
+ - Countless corrections. <br>
+ - Small changes in the functions <font face="Courier New"><b>cdHatch</b>, <b>cdScrollImage</b>, <b>cdFont</b> </font>
+ and<font face="Courier New"> <b>cdPlay</b></font>. <br>
+ - Optimization of functions&nbsp; <font face="Courier New"><b>wdVectorFont</b></font> and <font face="Courier New"><b>
+ cdMark</b></font>. <br>
+ - New: functions: <br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp; <font face="Courier New"><b>cdCreateCanvasf, cdGetContext,</b> <strong>cdContextCaps</strong>, <strong>
+ cdSaveState, cdRestoreState</strong>, <strong>&nbsp; cdSetAttribute, cdGetAttribute</strong><br>
+ <b>&nbsp;cdOrigin, cdRect, wdRect, cdGetFont,</b> <strong>cdGetStipple</strong>, <strong>cdGetPattern</strong>, <strong>
+ cdTextBox</strong><br>
+ <b>&nbsp;cdPutImageRectRGB</b>, <b>cdPutImageRectRGBA</b>, <b>cdPutImageRectMap,</b> <br>
+ <b>&nbsp;cdCreateImageEx</b>, <b>cdKillImageEx</b>, <b>cdPutImageEx</b>, <b>cdGetImageEx</b></font>. <br>
+ - New: WD functions: <font face="Courier New"><b>wdHardcopy, wdPattern, wdStipple, wdPixel, wdPutImageRect,
+ wdPutImageRectRGB</b>, <b>wdPutImageRectRGBA</b> </font>and<font face="Courier New"> <b>wdPutImageRectMap</b></font>.
+ <br>
+ - New: vector text functions: <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdVectorFont, cdVectorTextDirection,
+ cdVectorTextTransform, cdVectorTextSize, cdGetVectorTextSize, cdVectorCharSize, cdVectorText </strong></font>and<font face="Courier New"><strong>
+ cdMultiLineVectorText</strong></font>.<br>
+ - <font face="Courier New"><b>wdActivate</b></font> is no longer necessary. <br>
+ <b>-</b> Driver IMAGERGB complete.<br>
+ - Driver SIMULATE no longer exists; now function <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdSimulate</strong></font> must be
+ used. <br>
+ - New: driver DIRECTDRAW. <br>
+ - Policy change of <font face="Courier New"><b>cdPalette</b></font> in the X-Windows driver<br>
+ - IUP driver is now in a separate library.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>IMPORTANT NOTE: This version is not totally compatible to the previous one. The applications using the driver IUP
+must be relinked, as this driver is now in a separate library, &quot;<strong>cdiup</strong>&quot;. The Lua applications must also
+be modified to include a call to function <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdluaiup_open</strong></font> after
+<font face="Courier New"><strong>cdlua_open</strong></font>, and must be linked with the &quot;<strong>cdluaiup</strong>&quot;
+library. The SIMULATE driver no longer exists, therefore the applications that used it must be modified to use the new
+function, <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdSimulate</strong></font>, without the need for creating a new driver.</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Changed: the internal structure of the library was changed once again. One of the purposes is to make the
+ drivers become independent from the function table. With this change, adding a new function to the function table does
+ not imply editing the old drivers. We also allowed the drivers not to implement functions that do not make sense in
+ their context. Another modification simplifying the work in the drivers was to bring the attribute query mechanism to
+ the library's control part, freeing the drivers from this obligation. Taking the chance, we determined that a change
+ in an attribute to a value equal to the current one will not be effective, thus saving calls to the driver. Now, the
+ value of an attribute is changed even if the driver function is not implemented, as the driver can query this
+ attribute later on. The management of default values of the attributes is also done by the library's control part. All
+ these changes prepare the library to a new philosophy: before, if a driver did not contain a certain feature, it
+ simply did nothing. The new philosophy will be: if a driver does not contain a certain feature, then the simulation of
+ this feature will be activated.</li>
+ <li>Changed: when a canvas which is already active is activated again, an internal driver function is now called,
+ notifying an update instead of an activation.</li>
+ <li>Changed: the use of the CD canvas with a IUP canvas is better described in the manual, showing the various
+ ways of treating the canvas creation prooblem.</li>
+ <li>Changed: all functions in the control module now have <font face="Courier New">ASSERT</font> directives. Thus,
+ using the library with depuration information, one can better detect simple errors.</li>
+ <li>Changed: in order to use the IUP driver, it must be linked with the &quot;<strong>cdiup</strong>&quot; library, apart
+ from the &quot;<strong>cd</strong>&quot; library (<font face="Courier New">cdiup.lib</font> in Windows, <font face="Courier New">
+ cdiuplib.a</font> in UNIX).</li>
+ <li>Changed: the IMAGERGB driver is now implemented using the simulation functions.</li>
+ <li>Changed: the <font face="Courier New"><b>cdMark</b></font> function is back to the function table, so that the
+ drivers in which the primitive can be implemented can profit from it.</li>
+ <li>Changed: in order to assure that the use of server images is done only between canvases of the same driver, or
+ of the same basic driver, an internal structure was defined for the server image containing the functions of the
+ driver from which the image was created. Thus, if the <font face="Courier New"><b>cdKillImage</b></font> function is
+ called with an active canvas of a different kind from that in which the image was created, the
+ <font face="Courier New"><b>KillImage</b></font> function of the correct driver will be called.</li>
+ <li>Changed: in the X-Windows driver, the XV code was used to optimize functions <font face="Courier New"><strong>
+ cdPutImageRectRGB</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageRectMap</strong></font>.</li>
+ <li>Changed: the Lua binding was updated. Now the user guide contains Lua function together with C functions.</li>
+ <li>Changed: in the X-Windows driver, <font face="Courier New"><b>cdPalette</b></font>'s policy was changed to fulfill
+ the requirements of some applications, which wanted to force a palette. Please see the function's documentation in the
+ driver.</li>
+ <li>Changed: the CGM driver used to always store the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdForeground</strong></font>
+ attribute before drawing a primitive; now it stores the attribute only when it is changed. The
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdBackOpacity</strong></font> function was not implemented. The
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdFlush</strong></font> function was not preserving the canvas attributes. Now when
+ the canvas size is not specified in the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdCreateCanvas</strong></font> function, the
+ VDC Extension saved to the file is the figure's bounding rectangle. The patterns and/or stipples selected were being
+ stored in a way so that only the first one was valid.</li>
+ <li>Changed: the documentation of the old DOS driver was removed from the user guide.</li>
+ <li>Changed: the default resolution for drivers DGN, DXF, METAFILE, CGM and ImageRGB is no longer 1 but 3.8 points per
+ mm (96 DPI).</li>
+ <li>Changed: in the <font face="Courier New"><b>cdInteriorStyle</b></font> function, if stipple or pattern are not
+ defined, the state of the attribute is not modified. There is no longer a default 32x32 pattern or stipple.</li>
+ <li>Changed: in functions <font face="Courier New"><b>cdFontDim</b></font> and <font face="Courier New"><b>cdTextSize</b></font>,
+ if the driver does not support this kind of query, the values are estimated.</li>
+ <li>Changed: function <font face="Courier New"><b>cdHatch</b></font> now returns the previous value.</li>
+ <li>Changed: function <font face="Courier New"><b>cdScrollImage</b></font> is now called <font face="Courier New"><b>
+ cdScrollArea</b></font>, better reflecting its functionality, since it does not require any explicitly defined image
+ to be performed. The old function is maintained to assure compatibility with old applications.</li>
+ <li>Changed: the <font face="Courier New"><b>cdPlay</b></font> function now accepts all window parameters null. In this
+ case, the primitives in the file are interpreted without scaling.</li>
+ <li>Changed: <font face="Courier New"><b>cdFont</b></font>now accepts font sizes in pixels when negative values are
+ used as a parameter.</li>
+ <li>Changed: the WD functions were included in the library's function table, so that the drivers can use floating point
+ precision when storing primitives. Presently, only the drivers PS and METAFILE have this resource directly
+ implemented. With this change, the <font face="Courier New"><b>wdActivate</b></font> function became obsolete and is
+ no longer necessary. For purposes of compatibility with other applications, it was maintained only as a call to
+ function <font face="Courier New"><b>cdActivate</b></font>.</li>
+ <li>Changed: drivers EMF and WMF now accept the resolution as a parameter.</li>
+ <li>New: internal modification of the Windows driver to allow the creation of the DirectDraw driver.</li>
+ <li>New: DirectDraw driver to accelerate video access to high-performance applications.</li>
+ <li>New: function <font face="Courier New"><b>cdInteriorStyle</b></font> now accepts style <font face="Courier New">
+ CD_HOLLOW</font>. When this style is defined, the <font face="Courier New"><b>cdBox</b></font> and
+ <font face="Courier New"><b>cdSector</b></font> functions behave like their equivalents <font face="Courier New"><b>
+ cdRect</b></font> and <font face="Courier New"><b>cdArc</b></font>, and the polygons with the <font face="Courier New">
+ CD_FILL</font> style behave like <font face="Courier New">CD_CLOSED_LINES</font>.</li>
+ <li>New: new functions:<br>
+ - <font face="Courier New"><b>cdCreateCanvasf</b></font> accepts parameters equivalent to <font face="Courier New"><b>
+ sprintf</b></font>, helping in the creation of some canvases.<br>
+ - <font face="Courier New"><b>cdOrigin</b></font> allows translating the origin - for instance, to the center of the
+ canvas.<br>
+ - <font face="Courier New"><b>cdGetContext</b></font> returns the context of a given canvas; it can be compared with
+ predefined contexts, such as &quot;<font face="Courier New">CD_PS</font>&quot;.<br>
+ - <strong><font face="Courier New">cdSaveState</font> </strong>and<strong> <font face="Courier New">cdRestoreState</font></strong>
+ allow saving and restoring the state of attributes of the active canvas.<br>
+ <strong>- <font face="Courier New">cdSetAttribute</font> </strong>and<strong> <font face="Courier New">cdGetAttribute</font></strong>
+ allow passing customized attributes to the driver, which are ignored if the driver does not have the attribute
+ defined.<br>
+ - <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdContextCaps</strong></font> returns a combination of several flags informing the
+ available resources of the canvas in that context.<br>
+ - Driver SIMULATE no longer exists. Now function <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdSimulate</strong></font> must be
+ used. The simulation can be activated and deactivated at any moment.<br>
+ - <font face="Courier New"><b>cdRect</b></font> and <font face="Courier New"><b>wdRect</b></font> allow drawing a box
+ with no filling.<br>
+ - <font face="Courier New"><b>cdGetFont</b></font> returns the values of the font modified by function
+ <font face="Courier New"><b>cdFont</b></font> and ignores those modified by <font face="Courier New"><b>cdNativeFont</b></font>.<br>
+ - <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdTextBox</strong></font> returns the horizontal bounding rectangle of the text
+ box, even if it is bended.<br>
+ - <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdGetStipple</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdGetPattern</strong></font>
+ return current stipple and pattern. With these functions and with function <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdGetFont</strong></font>,
+ one can now totally change and restore the attributes of a given canvas.<br>
+ - <font face="Courier New"><b>wdPattern</b></font> and <font face="Courier New"><b>wdStipple</b></font> allow
+ specifying the style in world coordinates. The size of the image is modified to the specified size in millimeters.<br>
+ - functions&nbsp; <font face="Courier New"><b>cdPutImageRectRGB</b>, <b>cdPutImageRectRGBA</b> and <b>
+ cdPutImageRectMap</b></font> allow specifying a rectangle in the image to be used for the drawing instead of the whole
+ image.<br>
+ - <font face="Courier New"><b>wdPixel, wdPutImageRect</b>,<b> wdPutImageRectRGB</b>, <b>wdPutImageRectRGBA</b> </font>
+ and<font face="Courier New"> <b>wdPutImageRectMap</b></font> are equivalent to <font face="Courier New"><b>cdPixel</b>,<b>
+ cdPutImageRect</b>,<b> cdPutImageRectRGB</b>, <b>cdPutImageRectRGBA</b> </font>and<font face="Courier New"> <b>
+ cdPutImageRectMap</b></font>, respectively, but the target coordinates are specified in world coordinates.<br>
+ - New: vector text functions: <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdVectorFont</strong>,<strong> cdVectorTextDirection</strong>,<strong>
+ cdVectorTextTransform</strong>,<strong> cdVectorTextSize</strong>,<strong> cdGetVectorTextSize</strong>,<strong>
+ cdVectorCharSize</strong>,<strong> cdVectorText</strong>,<strong> cdMultiLineVectorText</strong></font>. The vector
+ text can now be used without the need of world coordinates. Functions <strong><font face="Courier New">wdVectorFont</font>
+ </strong>and<strong> <font face="Courier New">wdVectorTextTransform</font></strong> have become obsolete, though they
+ still exist for compatibility reasons.<br>
+ - <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdHarcopy</strong></font> helps drawing WD primitives in devices, adjusting Window
+ and Viewport.<br>
+ - Auxiliary functions were created to manipulate all sorts of images in a single way, being either client, RGB, RGBA,
+ MAP, or server images: <font face="Courier New"><b>cdCreateImageEx</b>, <b>cdKillImageEx</b>, <b>cdPutImageEx</b>, <b>
+ cdGetImageEx</b></font>, etc.</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>Fixed: the documentation of function <font face="Courier New"><b>cdFont</b></font> was confusing, causing
+ errors in the conversion from pixels to points.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: function <font face="Courier New"><b>wdFont</b></font> was making a wrong conversion of the font size
+ parameter from millimeters to points.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: functions&nbsp; <font face="Courier New"><b>wdVectorText</b></font> and <font face="Courier New"><b>
+ wdMultiLineVectorText</b></font> were generating an extra polygon when the text contained blank spaces in certain
+ positions.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: the PS driver was not prepared for marked texts. Function <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdFlush</strong></font>
+ did not preserve current attributes. The interior style was affecting line drawing. The text alignment now takes into
+ account an estimation for the baseline. Function <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdTextOrientation</strong></font>
+ was implemented. The world coordinate functions were implemented directly in the driver. Hatch and stipple interior
+ styles were implemented, but they are still only opaque.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: in the X-Windows driver, function <font face="Courier New"><b>cdGetColorPlanes</b></font> was
+ returning 8 bpp even if the canvas was 24 bbp when the default visualization was different from the canvas'
+ visualization in that X server. Text position on the screen was above the one entered. Function
+ <font face="Courier New"><b>cdFont</b></font> was looping in certain conditions. Function <font face="Courier New"><b>
+ cdEnd</b></font> in the X-Windows driver in the AIX system was generating an error and aborting the program if only
+ one point of the polygon was specified. Dashed lines were always opaque, ignoring the <font face="Courier New">
+ <strong>cdBackOpacity</strong></font> attribute.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: in the Clipboard driver for X-Windows, a parameter was missing which prevented it from working
+ properly. Before the update, it used that of the IUP/Native Window active canvas.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: in the Windows driver, the text position on the screen was above the position provided. Filled
+ polygons had a one pixel error to the right and below due to the small <font face="Courier New">NULL</font> used.
+ Fillings with hatch, pattern and stipple still contain errors. The internal simulation of polygons filled with pattern
+ and stipple was also corrected; they had one additional pixel to the right and below. Text alignment treatment was
+ improved.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: driver WMF now has text alignment.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: in the PRINTER (Windows) driver, function<font face="Courier New"><strong> cdFlush</strong></font> was
+ not preserving current attributes.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: in the CGM driver, the text align interpretation was corrected. The <font face="Courier New"><strong>
+ cdMark</strong></font> function is implemented directly in the driver. Function <font face="Courier New"><strong>
+ cdBackOpacity</strong></font> was implemented. Mark interpretation was also corrected.</li>
+ <li>OPTIMIZATION: function <font face="Courier New"><b>wdVectorFont</b></font> only loads the new font if it is
+ different from the current one.</li>
+ <li>OPTIMIZATION: function <font face="Courier New"><b>cdMark</b></font> now modifies fill and line attributes only if
+ they are different from the one needed to draw the mark.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Version 3.6 (05/May/98)</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>Fixed: / Win32: every time the clipping region changed the old region was not deleted.</li>
+ <li>New: new function <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdRGB2Map</strong></font>, which converts an RGB image into a
+ 256 indexed-colors image. It is the same algorithm used in the IM library - in fact, it is the same code.</li>
+ <li>Changed: the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdMark</strong></font> function now uses the <strong>
+ <font face="Courier New">cdPixel</font></strong> function when drawing a mark of 1 pixel size.</li>
+ <li>Changed: / Win32: the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPixel</strong></font> function now uses the <strong>
+ <font face="Courier New">SetPixelV</font></strong> function when not under Win32s. This function is faster than the
+ <strong><font face="Courier New">SetPixel</font></strong> function because it does not return the old value.</li>
+ <li>Changed: / Win32: the polygon used for clipping is now optimized to not include 3 points that are in the same
+ horizontal or vertical line.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / WD: the <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdVectorText</strong></font> function was not drawing
+ correctly when extended characters (&gt;128) were used.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / X: the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPalette</strong></font> function and the color management
+ for canvases with only 256 colors were wrong. Each canvas had its own management, now all canvases in the same
+ aplication use the same management.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / X: several resource and memory leaks were corrected.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / IMAGERGB: functions <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdRedImage</strong></font>,
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdGreenImage</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdBlueImage</strong></font>
+ were not returning the correct pointer.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / SunOS: drivers IMAGERGB, SIMULATE and NATIVEWINDOW use&nbsp; the &quot;%p&quot; format string, but in the SunOS
+ they use &quot;%d&quot; because of an internal bug of the run time library of this OS.</li>
+ <li>Changed: / IUP: driver IUP sets the <strong><font face="Courier New">cdCanvas</font></strong> function as an
+ attribute of the <strong><font face="Courier New">IupCanvas</font></strong> passed as a parameter using the name
+ &quot;_CD_CANVAS&quot;.</li>
+ <li>MANUAL: the manual appearance was changed to match the new Tecgraf standard.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Version 3.5 (07/Jan/98)</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>New: the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdTextDirection</strong></font> function allows raster text to be drawn
+ in any direction. Up to now it is implemented only in the basic Win32 driver.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / X / NativeWindow: the canvas was not created if the screen was 0.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / Win32 / NativeWindow: now the driver considers the existence of non owner-draw device contexts.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / Win32: function <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdClipArea</strong></font> was not including
+ <font face="Courier New">xmax</font> and <font face="Courier New">xmin</font> in the clipping area.</li>
+ <li>Changed: the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdCallback</strong></font> typedef was defined, being useful for
+ type casting when calling the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdRegisterCallback</strong></font> function.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / Win32: a compatibility problem with the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdNativeFont</strong></font>
+ string and the <font face="Courier New">WINFONT IUP</font> attribute was corrected.</li>
+ <li>Changed: / Win32: the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageRGB</strong></font> and
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageMap</strong></font> functions use a cache memory for best performance.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: text size estimation for the CGM and PS drivers now uses Courier
+ New: as the &quot;System&quot; font. As it was,
+ it was causing a memory invasion.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Version 3.4 (12/Nov/97)</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>Changed: / X: memory use of the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageRGB</strong></font>,
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageRGBA</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageMap</strong></font>
+ functions was optimized, as well as the performance of the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageMap</strong></font>
+ function.</li>
+ <li>Changed: / X and Win32: when the canvas has bpp &lt;= 8, function <strong><font face="Courier New">cdPutImageRGB</font>
+ </strong>converts the image into Map before displaying it.</li>
+ <li>Changed: / X and Win32: if a font's parameters are the same as the current parameters, the
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdFont</strong></font> function does nothing.</li>
+ <li>DOC / PS: the &quot;-d&quot; parameter for the EPS option was not documented.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / PS: parameters &quot;-w&quot; and &quot;-h&quot; were incorrectly interpreted.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / X: the internal function names were generating an error in the VMS plataform.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / X: the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdKillCanvas</strong></font> function was freeing some
+ pointers of the active canvas.</li>
+ <li>Changed: / Win32: the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdVertex</strong></font> function now ignores duplicate
+ points.</li>
+ <li>Changed: / Win32: the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdNativeFont</strong></font> function also accepts the
+ font string of the <font face="Courier New">WINFONT IUP</font> attribute.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / DXF: corrections in color conversion and in the <strong><font face="Courier New">cdArc</font></strong>
+ function for small radius were made, and an unnecessary identation was removed.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Version 3.3 (19/Sep/97)</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>Changed: / X: the <strong><font face="Courier New">cdFont</font></strong> function now has a better heuristic
+ to find a closer font if the requested font does not match an available one.</li>
+ <li>Changed: / X: the <strong><font face="Courier New">cdPattern</font></strong> and <strong>
+ <font face="Courier New">cdStipple</font></strong> functions now use a bitmap cache to store the <em>pixmap</em> and
+ do not recreate it if the size is not changed.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / X and Win32: the <strong><font face="Courier New">cdPutImageRect</font></strong> function was placing
+ the bitmap in a wrong position.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / Win32: the <strong><font face="Courier New">cdCreateImage</font></strong> function did not return
+ <font face="Courier New">NULL</font> when the creating failed.</li>
+ <li>Changed: / Win32: the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageRGB</strong></font>, <font face="Courier New">
+ <strong>cdPutImageRGBA</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageMap</strong></font> functions
+ were largely optimized when the picture displayed is larger than the screen.</li>
+ <li>Changed: / WMF: using the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPlay</strong></font> function we discovered that
+ the size of the picture was incorrect in the header file, so we first had to calculate the bounding box and then
+ interpret the picture.</li>
+ <li>Changed: / PS and CGM: now the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdFontDim</strong></font> and
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdTextSize</strong></font> functions return approximate dimensions, instead of
+ nothing.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / PS: the default font was not being set when the canvas was created.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / PS: text alignment was incorrect in the vertical direction.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / SIM: the clipping algorithm of the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPixel</strong></font> function
+ of the Simulation driver was corrected.</li>
+ <li>Fixed: / CD: now you can activate a <font face="Courier New">NULL</font> canvas. When you get the active
+ canvas and restore it, if it was <font face="Courier New">NULL</font> the <strong><font face="Courier New">cdActivate</font></strong>
+ function was accessing an invalid pointer.</li>
+ <li>MANUAL: several changes were made on the online manual structure, and were added to the CDLua page.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Version 3.2</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>A problem in the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdFlush</strong></font> function in the Postscript driver was
+ corrected. It was not setting the scale.</li>
+ <li>Functions <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdFontDim</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New"><strong>
+ wdTextSize</strong></font> now check if the return pointers are not <font face="Courier New">NULL</font>.</li>
+ <li>An internal function in the DGN driver was drawing an ellipse with two times the axis size.</li>
+ <li>The <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdFont</strong></font> function was corrected to store the font names in the
+ CGM driver.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Version 3.1</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>Several minor bugs in the Win32 Printer driver and in the Postscript driver were corrected. The EPS mode of the PS
+ driver now generates a &quot;showpage&quot; PS function so it can be printed.</li>
+ <li>The Clipboard driver was implemented in Motif. The <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPlay</strong></font>
+ function was implemented in the Motif and Win32 Clipboard drivers.</li>
+ <li>The <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdRegisterCallback</strong></font> function was added to allow the
+ customization of the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPlay</strong></font> function's behavior.</li>
+ <li>The <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdVectorTextTransform</strong></font> function allows a 2D transformation
+ applied to any vector text.</li>
+ <li>Now the Simulation driver has several levels of simulation, and the simulation was improved with pattern and
+ clipping simulation.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Version 3.0</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>The library's architecture underwent several changes. The function tables are no longer public, only the drivers
+ know its structure. This means that we have eliminated the need to recompile applications that use the dynamic library
+ when we change something in the function table. There are some other benefits, like the fact that the Windows DLL can
+ now be implemented and that it is more simple to explain the library to new users, so they will not be confused by the
+ <font face="Courier New">cdprivat.h</font> header.</li>
+ <li>Corrections to the text alignment of the <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdVectortext</strong></font> function
+ were made.</li>
+ <li>Memory allocation of the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPattern</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New">
+ <strong>cdStipple</strong></font> functions in the basic Windows driver was corrected.</li>
+ <li>Memory release of the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdKillCanvas</strong></font> function in the basic Windows
+ driver was corrected.</li>
+ <li>The <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPattern</strong></font> function was implemented in the Postscript driver,
+ and the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageRGB</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New"><strong>
+ cdPutImageMap</strong></font> functions now write color images.</li>
+ <li>The <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPattern</strong></font> function was corrected in the basic X-Windows
+ driver for use with clipping.</li>
+ <li>The compiler directive <font face="Courier New">#include&lt;<strong>malloc.h</strong>&gt;</font> was changed to
+ <font face="Courier New">#include&lt;<strong>stdlib.h</strong>&gt;</font> in several modules for better compatibility with
+ other compilers.</li>
+ <li>The <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPlay</strong></font> function now accepts the viewport rectangle where the
+ drawing will be rendered.</li>
+ <li>Several navigation changes were made to the user guide pages.</li>
+ <li>A <strong>new</strong> CD_SIMULATE driver was created. Use it to replace some primitives and to handle attributes
+ of another driver. It can be used with any other driver. Basically, it substitutes the interior style of dependent
+ primitives: box, sector and filled polygons. It also substitutes the clipping methods of these primitives.</li>
+ <li>The Windows DLL version of the library was created.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Version 2.2.1</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>Interrnal macros that affect <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdArc</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New">
+ <strong>wdSector</strong></font> were corrected.</li>
+ <li>The CGM driver now supports some client image functions.</li>
+ <li>Hatch styles in the Image RGB driver were corrected.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Version 2.2.0</h3>
+
+ <p><strong>New: Functions:</strong></p>
+
+ <p><font face="Courier New"><strong>cdVersion</strong></font> - returns the current library version.<br>
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdNativeFont</strong></font> - sets a native font.<br>
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageRect</strong></font> - same as <strong><font face="Courier New">
+ cdPutImage</font></strong> but you may specify a part of the image.<br>
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageRGBA</strong></font> - <strong><font face="Courier New">cdPutImageRGB</font></strong>
+ with transparency.<br>
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdFont</strong></font> - <strong><font face="Courier New">cdFont</font></strong>
+ for the WD client, the size parameter is in millimeters.</p>
+
+ <p><strong>New: Drivers:</strong></p>
+
+ <p><strong>NativeWindow</strong> - now the library can work with other Interface libraries.<br>
+ <strong>DGN</strong> - MicroStation Design File.<br>
+ <strong>EMF</strong> - Windows Enhanced Metafile.<br>
+ <strong>CD Metafile</strong> - our own metafile.<br>
+ <strong>Client Image RGB</strong> - now you can write in an RGB image.</p>
+
+
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>DGN</strong>, <strong>CGM</strong> and <strong>DXF</strong> file-based drivers now have a default size in
+ pixels (<strong>INT_MAX</strong> = 2.147.483.647) and are optional. In fact the size is irrelevant in these file
+ formats. The <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdCreateCanvas</strong></font> data string may contain the size in
+ millimeters and the resolution in pixels per millimeters. Both are real values. The default resolution is 1.</li>
+ <li>The <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPlay</strong></font> function now works on the CGM and on the CD Metafile
+ drivers.</li>
+ <li>The interior style attributes were implemented in the <strong>CGM</strong> driver.</li>
+ <li>On the Clipboard driver: limitations are considered if creating a WMF under Win32s.</li>
+ <li>Now the Printer Driver shows the Printer's Dialog Box (Win32 &amp; Mac) if the parameter &quot;-d&quot; is specified.</li>
+ <li>On the PS driver: all the dimensions in the Data parameter string are now in millimeters.</li>
+ <li>On the WMF driver: several functions were disabled because of WMF limitations. Picture size was corrected.</li>
+ <li>On the basic X-Windows driver: <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdLineWidth</strong>(1)</font> uses
+ <font face="Courier New">width 0</font> for better performance. Stipple was being incorrectly interpreted.
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdGetImageRGB</strong></font> was swapping red and blue channels on true color
+ canvas.</li>
+ <li>The clipping region now can be a polygon on some systems/drivers (Win32, Mac, X-Win and PS). Use
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdClip</strong>(CD_CLIPPOLYGON)</font> to use the polygon defined by a
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdBegin</strong>(CD_CLIP)</font>,<font face="Courier New"> <strong>cdVertex</strong>(...)</font>,<font face="Courier New">
+ <strong>cdEnd</strong>()</font> sequence.</li>
+ <li>The functions <strong><font face="Courier New">wdMM2Pixel</font></strong> and <strong><font face="Courier New">
+ wdPixel2MM</font></strong> became <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdMM2Pixel</strong></font> and
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPixel2MM</strong></font>, respectively.</li>
+ <li>Minor bugs in the <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdFontDim</strong></font>, <font face="Courier New"><strong>
+ wdLineWidth</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdMarkSize</strong></font> functions were corrected.</li>
+ <li><font face="Courier New"><strong>wdVectorCharSize</strong></font> now returns the previous value.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Up to Version 2.1</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>The <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdActiveCanvas</strong></font>, <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPlay</strong></font>
+ and the <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdVectorFont</strong></font> functions were added, and the
+ <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdKillCanvas</strong></font> function was corrected when destroying the current
+ canvas.</li>
+ <li>The <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdMark</strong></font> function no longer depends on line style, line width
+ and interior style attributes, and it is the same for all drivers because it is implemented only with CD functions.</li>
+ <li>The <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdLineWidth</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdMarkSize</strong></font>
+ functions now use millimeters.</li>
+ <li>The functions <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdEncodeColor</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New"><strong>
+ cdDecodeColor</strong></font> now can be called without an active canvas. The DXF driver was added.</li>
+ <li>WD can now access files with vector font definitions.</li>
+ <li>Minor bugs in the <font face="Courier New"><strong>wdTextSize</strong></font> function were corrected.</li>
+</ul>
