  <strong>
  <span style="color: #FF0000">INCOMPATIBILITY</span> -</strong> 
  If style is not used, most drivers had a format compatible with the new 
  format. But please check your <strong>NativeFont</strong> usage. The IUP 
  format is still supported.</li>

  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.

</ul>
<h3>Version 4.1 (24/Nov/99)</h3>
<ul>
  <li><span style="color: #0000FF">New:</span> new basic Windows driver attributes that allow controling the internal simulation of pattern/stipple, XOR 
  text, and filled polygon (&quot;<font face="Courier New">SIMXORTEXT</font>&quot;, &quot;<font face="Courier New">SIMPATTERN8X8</font>&quot;, 
  &quot;<font face="Courier New">PENFILLPOLY</font>&quot;). New: attribute for returning the HDC of the Windows canvas.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #0000FF">New:</span> the PS driver accepts landscape orientation as a parameter. 
  New: &quot;<font face="Courier New">POLYHOLE</font>&quot; 
  attribute allows controling the number of holes in a closed polygon. New: &quot;<font face="Courier New">-1</font>&quot; 
  parameter forces a level 1 Postscript. New: &quot;<font face="Courier New">-g</font>&quot; parameter adds comments to the PS file 
  in order to better explain what is done. New: &quot;<font face="Courier New">CMD</font>&quot; attribute saves a string to the 
  file.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #0000FF">New:</span> new environment variable, <font face="Courier New">CD_QUIET</font>, does not display in <em>stdout</em> the 
  library's version information.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #0000FF">New:</span> two new exclusive functions for the Native Window driver: <font face="Courier New"><b>cdGetScreenColorPlanes</b></font> 
  and <font face="Courier New"><b>cdGetScreenSize</b></font>.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #0000FF">New:</span> new CD_DBUFFER driver implements a <em>double buffer</em> using a server image.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #0000FF">New:</span> new attributes in the ImageRGB driver: &quot;<font face="Courier New">REDIMAGE</font>&quot;, &quot;<font face="Courier New">GREENIMAGE</font>&quot; 
  and &quot;<font face="Courier New">BLUEIMAGE</font>&quot;.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #0000FF">New:</span> new functions <font face="Courier New"><b>wdGetVectorTextBounds</b></font> and <font face="Courier New"><b>
  cdGetVectorTextBounds</b></font> to obtain the bounding box of the vector text.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #0000FF">New:</span> new <font face="Courier New"><b>wdGetFont</b></font> function. It is equivalent to <font face="Courier New">
  <strong>cdGetFont</strong></font>, but the returned size is in millimeters.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #FF0000">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 style="color: #FF0000">Fixed:</span> function <font face="Courier New"><b>cdActivate</b></font> in Lua was not returning the correct 
  values.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #FF0000">Fixed:</span> when the image was partially out of the window, above or below, functions <font face="Courier New">
  <strong>cdPutImageMap</strong></font> and <font face="Courier New"><strong>RGB</strong></font> were drawing a wrong 
  portion of the image.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #FF0000">Fixed:</span>&nbsp;in the CGM driver, after opening the file of the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPlay</strong></font> 
  function, the check to see if the opening had been successful was not being done.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #FF0000">Fixed:</span> when the active canvas was already <font face="Courier New">NULL</font>, the activation of a
  <font face="Courier New">NULL</font> canvas was generating a memory invasion.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #FF0000">Fixed:</span> in the creation of EPS, the PS driver was adding a wrong call to <font face="Courier New">
  setpagedevice</font>. The <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPutImageMap</strong></font> function was modifying the 
  wrong PS parameter in the file. The margin clipping was not saved when the drawing's clipping area was changed. The 
  clipping area, when drawing in WD, was being incorrectly modified.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #FF0000">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 style="color: #FF0000">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 style="color: #008000">Changed:</span> in the PS driver, when the Map image is actually a grayscale, function <font face="Courier New">
  <strong>cdPutImageMap</strong></font> uses an 8 bit image, thus saving memory. Level 2 Postscript functions
  <font face="Courier New">rectfill, rectstroke</font> and <font face="Courier New">rectclip</font> are now used. The 
  comments in DCS were updated to DCS version 3 and were increased to improve the document's portability.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #008000">Changed:</span> in driver X-Windows, the text drawing attribute was implemented with any orientation.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #008000">Changed:</span> function <font face="Courier New"><b>cdVersion</b></font> in Lua now behaves just like in C. A global Lua 
  variable, <font face="Courier New"><b>CDLUA_VERSION</b></font>, was created containing the version of the Lua binding 
  library - for example: &quot;CDLua 1.3.0&quot;.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #008000">Changed:</span> function <font face="Courier New"><b>cdVectorTextTransform</b></font> now returns the previsous

  points.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #FF0000">Fixed:</span> in the Windows driver, function <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdNativeFont</strong></font> was

  parameter and always returning.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #FF0000">Fixed:</span> in the drivers IUP and Native Window, the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdGetCanvasSize</strong></font> 
  function was corrected. When the window size was changed, the values in millimeters were not updated to
  <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdActivate</strong></font>.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #FF0000">Fixed:</span> in the CGM driver, function <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPlay</strong></font> was generating 
  problems in reading and displaying cell arrays. When the <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdCreateCanvas</strong></font> 
  function used the default values for dimensions and resolution, it generated files with errors.</li>
  <li><span style="color: #008000">Changed:</span> in the X-Windows driver, function <font face="Courier New"><strong>cdPixel</strong></font> was 
  optimized. It now compares the color to the foreground color and reuses the value.</li>
</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>
