Subject: [gtk-list] ANNOUNCE: GTK-- Drawing Library v0.4a


I'm pleased to announce that version 0.4a of my drawing library for
Gtk-- is now available for download at

     http://www.emccta.com/~trow/gtk.html

This library, also known as libgtkmmdraw, tries to automate and
simplify many of the tasks performed by drawing programs.  Nice (?)
C++ interfaces are provided for manipulating colors and GCs; the
Gtk_DrawingBuffer widget can manage backing store and expose events
for you; the Gdk_Draw class provides an interface to the GDK drawing
commands and also lets you draw simultaneously to both a window and
the associated backing-store pixmap.

A lot has happened since the last version was released back in February.
Highlights include:

* This library is now being co-developed with Havoc Pennington <hp@emccta.com>.

* Everything has been completely redesigned.  Instead of putting all of the
  functionality into a "monolithic class", more of an attempt has been made to
  provide C++ wrappers around GDK.  The result is code that is (IMHO)
  cleaner and more general.

* We now use autoconf instead of lame, ad hoc Makefiles.

* Old bugs have been fixed, new bugs have been added.

This library is very much a work-in-progress. It is a bit rough around
the edges now, but we hope to improve it to the point where it is both
bug-free and useful. Feedback, suggestions and bug-fixes are
encouraged.

Enjoy,

-Jon Trowbridge <trow@emccta.com>
