A graphics drawing program?

Post by riggsd » Wed Mar 21, 2007 5:57 am

I'm evaluating different products for developing software, specifically a user interactive graphic program.

For example, the user selects a graphic (varying from ellipses to lines to other shapes) from a palette, left-clicks on the screen, then left-clicks in another spot. The graphic is then drawn between the two locations, stretching or widening the graphic as needed.

Lines that are drawn would be like drawing continuous lines in a paint program.

How easy would this be to implement in Revolution?

Hi Dar,

This is easy to implement in Revolution. Drawing capabilities are a little limited, though. For example, line thickness can't be less than 1 pixel.

Whether you want to use Revolution depends on the exact requirements. For a simple paint program, Revolution seems to be good enough.

Best regards,

There is some very nice such work at:
Revolution Craftstman's Handbook

The page is all in japanese, unfortunately, click on the 001, 002 in the left margin to download the stacks.

Alternatively, go directly to the download area of the website. More specifically, 015.rev, 016.rev, 017.rev, 018.rev.

Thank you both.

I can use Babelfish to translate the pages and it looks like they have good examples to learn from.
