<h2>History of Changes</h2>
<h3>CVS (05/Aug/2010)</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color: #FF0000">IMPORTANT:</span></strong> since the previous
version CDLua dynamic libraries in Linux are dependent on GDK, because they
depend on the main library, that now contains the GDK base drivers. i.e. the
X-Win base drivers can NOT be used anymore in dynamic libraries when using
Lua in Linux.</li>
<li>
<span class="hist_changed">Changed:</span> the Cairo context plus driver
in Lua is now the default library when using "cdluacontextplus" in
Linux.</li>
<li>
<span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> CD_GL static library for Visual
C++ compilers were incorrectly using FTGL as dynamic library.</li>
<li>
<span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> CD_QUERY in <strong>
cdCanvasNativeFont</strong>.</li>
<li>
<span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> canvas:Transform when nil is used
to reset the transformation.</li>
<li>
<span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> <strong>cdCanvasClear</strong>
not considering the transparency of the background color in the GDI+
base driver and in the CD_GL driver.</li>
<li>
<span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> background transparency was not
being considered when backopacity was set to OPAQUE after the background
color was set in the GDI+ base driver.</li>
<li>
<span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> polygon filling in CD_IMAGERGB
driver when there are many horizontal lines in sequence on the same
polygon.</li>
</ul>
<h3><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/canvasdraw/files/5.4/">Version 5.4</a> (24/June/2010)</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="hist_new">New:</span> context plus driver
<a href="drv/cairo.html">Cairo</a>.</li>
<li><span class="hist_new">New:</span> OpenGL driver <a href="drv/gl.html">
CD_GL</a>.</li>
<li><span class="hist_new">New:</span> "CMD", "OPACITY" and "HATCHBOXSIZE"
attributes in the SVG driver.</li>
<li><span class="hist_new">New:</span> <a href="func/polygon.html#cdBegin">CD_PATH</a> <strong>cdCanvasBegin</strong>
mode to create a path composed of several primitives that can be line draw,
filled or used as clipping. New function <strong>
<a href="func/polygon.html#cdPathSet">cdCanvasPathSet</a></strong> to
configure the action between sequences of <strong>cdCanvasVertex</strong>.</li>
<li><span class="hist_new">New:</span> screenshots page in the
documentation.</li>
<li><span class="hist_changed">Changed:</span>
CD_DXF now supports solid filled primitives for polygons and rectangles.</li>
<li><span class="hist_changed">Changed:</span>
GDI+ base driver now supports floating point primitives.
<span class="style1">ATTENTION</span>: check
for alignment and size problems in the application. Please report if
anything changed.</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<span class="hist_changed">Changed:</span>
removed compatibility with require"cdlua51", now LuaBinaries must be used
or LUA_CPATH must be set.</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<span class="hist_changed">Changed:</span>
added compatibility with Lua 5.2.</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<span class="hist_changed">Changed:</span>
<strong>
<span style="color: #FF0000">IMPORTANT</span></strong> - the main library in
Linux and BSD is now the GDK base driver. The X11 base driver library
was renamed to <strong>cdx11</strong> on those systems.</li>
<li>
<span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> PDF driver documentation,
<strong>CanvasBackOpacity</strong> and <strong>CanvasBackground</strong> are
supported.</li>

functions <strong>cdActivate</strong> is not required. But <strong>
cdCanvasActivate</strong> exists for special cases where the canvas must be

attribute was renamed to <font face="Courier New">"GRADIENTCOLOR"</font>. Their definition was also changed.</li>
<li><span class="hist_changed">Changed:</span> <b><font face="Courier New">cdImageEx</font></b> was renamed to <b><font face="Courier New">cdBitmap</font></b>,
and now supports only client images. This will cause a conflict with a macro definition in <font face="Courier New">
"im_image.h"</font> header of the IM toolkit. Include this header before <font face="Courier New">"cd.h"</font> and
inbetween set <font face="Courier New">"#undef cdPutBitmap"</font>. The IM macro will be changed in the next IM
version.</li>
<li><span class="hist_changed">Changed:</span> <b><font face="Courier New">cdText</font></b> is not dependent on the <b><font face="Courier New">

<ul>
<li><span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> in the Win32 and X-Win drivers the <font face="Courier New"><b>cdPutImageRGB</b></font> and
<font face="Courier New"><b>cdPutImageMap</b></font> functions when zooming bigger then the canvas where incorrectly
positioning the image by some pixels because of round errors.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Version 4.3.1 (07/Nov/2003)</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="hist_fixed">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
used to move the image in the swap operation (<font face="Courier New"><b>cdFlush</b></font>). In the GDI+
DoubleBuffer driver there was an error in the <font face="Courier New"><b>cdFlush</b></font> when some primitive used
world coordinates directly in the main canvas.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Version 4.3 (06/Mar/2003)</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="hist_new">New:</span> the function <font face="Courier New"><b>cdlua_getcanvas</b></font> retreives the pointer of a canvas created

Windows drivers NativeWindow, IUP, Image, Printer, EMF and Double Buffer to make them use the GDI+ for drawing. GDI+
does not have support for XOR Write Mode, but it has other resources like: transparency, anti-aliasing, gradient
filling, bezier lines and filled cardinal splines. WC functions are directly implemented in the base driver. Two new
functions were created to support transparency in the CD color coding: <font face="Courier New"><b>cdEncodeAlpha</b></font>
and <font face="Courier New"><b>cdDecodeAlpha.</b></font>Check the documentation for more information.</li>
<li><span class="hist_changed">Changed:</span> the Lua binding is now distributed in the same package. There is only one version number.</li>

New: "<font face="Courier New">POLYHOLE</font>"
attribute allows controling the number of holes in a closed polygon. New: "<font face="Courier New">-1</font>"
parameter forces a level 1 Postscript. New: "<font face="Courier New">-g</font>" parameter adds comments to the PS file
in order to better explain what is done. New: "<font face="Courier New">CMD</font>" attribute saves a string to the
file.</li>

<strong>cdGetFont</strong></font>, but the returned size is in millimeters.</li>
<li><span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> the management of WD functions was incomplete for functions <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPixel</strong>,
<strong>cdVertex</strong> </font>and<font face="Courier New"> <strong>cdPutImage</strong></font>*. This resulted in a
wrong or out of the canvas positioning. It only affects drivers PS and METAFILE.</li>
<li><span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> function <font face="Courier New"><b>cdActivate</b></font> in Lua was not returning the correct
values.</li>
<li><span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> when the image was partially out of the window, above or below, functions <font face="Courier New">

clipping area, when drawing in WD, was being incorrectly modified.</li>
<li><span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> in the IMAGERGB driver, functions <font face="Courier New"><b>cdRedImage</b>, <b>cdBlueImage</b>
</font>and<font face="Courier New"> <b>cdGreenImage</b></font> were returning invalid pointers.</li>
<li><span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> when initializing text simulation functions, the opened font file was not being closed. This affected
all CD drivers, but was only apparent in the application that opened and closed many drivers.</li>
<li><span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> the approximate computation of the text size was not accepting sizes in pixels.</li>
<li><span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> the creation of the IMAGERGB driver in Lua was incorrect when the resolution parameter (which is
optional) was not specified.</li>
<li><span class="hist_fixed">Fixed:</span> functions <font face="Courier New"><b>cdGetClipPoly</b></font> and <font face="Courier New"><b>

<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 <font face="Courier New"><b>wdVectorFont</b></font> and <font face="Courier New"><b>
cdMark</b></font>. <br>
- New: functions: <br>
<font face="Courier New"><b>cdCreateCanvasf, cdGetContext,</b> <strong>cdContextCaps</strong>, <strong>
cdSaveState, cdRestoreState</strong>, <strong> cdSetAttribute, cdGetAttribute</strong><br>
<b> cdOrigin, cdRect, wdRect, cdGetFont,</b> <strong>cdGetStipple</strong>, <strong>cdGetPattern</strong>, <strong>
cdTextBox</strong><br>
<b> cdPutImageRectRGB</b>, <b>cdPutImageRectRGBA</b>, <b>cdPutImageRectMap,</b> <br>
<b> cdCreateImageEx</b>, <b>cdKillImageEx</b>, <b>cdPutImageEx</b>, <b>cdGetImageEx</b></font>. <br>

wdPutImageRectRGB</b>, <b>wdPutImageRectRGBA</b> </font>and<font face="Courier New"> <b>wdPutImageRectMap</b></font>.
<br>

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, "<strong>cdiup</strong>". 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 "<strong>cdluaiup</strong>"
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 "<strong>cdiup</strong>" library, apart
from the "<strong>cd</strong>" 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 "<font face="Courier New">CD_PS</font>".<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 <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 <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 (>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 the "%p" format string, but in the SunOS
they use "%d" 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
"_CD_CANVAS".</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 "System" 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 <= 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 "-d" parameter for the EPS option was not documented.</li>
<li>Fixed: / PS: parameters "-w" and "-h" 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 "showpage" 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<<strong>malloc.h</strong>></font> was changed to
<font face="Courier New">#include<<strong>stdlib.h</strong>></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 & Mac) if the parameter "-d" 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>
