<h3><a name="Overview">Overview</a></h3>
<p>CD is a platform-independent graphics library. It is implemented in several
platforms using native graphics libraries: Microsoft Windows (GDI and GDI+)
and X-Windows (XLIB). </p>
<p>The library contains functions to support both vector and image
applications, and the visualization surface can be either a canvas or a more
abstract surface, such as Clipboard, Metafile, PS, and so on.</p>
<p>To make the Application Programmers Interface (API) simple, all data are
standard C types (int, double or char). Thus the application program does not
have to maintain parallel data structures to deal with the graphic library.
</p>
<p>Furthermore, the list of parameters of the CD primitive functions contains
only the geometrical descriptions of the objects (line, circle, text, etc.).
Where these objects should appear and what is the their color, thickness, etc.
are defined as current state variables stored in the visualization surfaces.
That is, the library is visualization-surface oriented, meaning that all
attributes are stored in each visualization surface. </p>
<p>CD is free software, can be used for public and commercial applications.</p>
<h3><a name="Availability">Availability</a></h3>
<p>The library is available for several <strong>compilers</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>GCC and CC, in the UNIX environment</li>
<li>Visual C++, Borland C++, Watcom C++ and GCC (Cygwin and MingW), in the
Windows environment</li>
</ul>
<p>The library is available for several <strong>operating systems</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>UNIX (SunOS, IRIX, AIX, FreeBSD and Linux)</li>
<li>Microsoft Windows NT/2K/XP</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="Suport">Support</a></h3>
<p>The official support mechanism is by e-mail, using <u>
<a href="mailto:cd@tecgraf.puc-rio.br?subject=[CD]"><b>cd</b></a></u><a href="mailto:cd@tecgraf.puc-rio.br?subject=[CD]"><u><b>@tecgraf.puc-rio.br</b></u></a>. Before sending your
message:</p>
<ul>
<li>Check if the reported behavior is not described in the user guide.</li>
<li>Check if the reported behavior is not described in the specific driver
characteristics.</li>
<li>Check the History to see if your version is updated.</li>
<li>Check the To Do list to see if your problem has already been reported.</li>
</ul>
<p>After all of the above have been checked, report the problem, including in
your message: <strong>function, element, driver, platform, and compiler.</strong></p>
<p>We host the <b>CD</b> support features at <strong>SourceForge</strong>:
