This is a complete rewrite of the package partly to remove some limitations in the previous version but also to make it ready for future improvements and extensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the changes are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Support for FPC Lazarus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The package will now also compile for FPC Lazarus, Windows, MacOS and Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You need at least FPC 3.0.4 and Lazarus 1.8.4. Also needed is the ” rtl-generics” package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Delphi you need at least XE2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Added interfaces for more graphic libraries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For Windows next to the Direct2D “WIC” render context there is also a render context based on the DirectX 11 “Device Context”<\/a>. This last one supports hardware accelerated effects<\/a>. You can use theses render contexts with Delphi and FPC Lazarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the header files needed to render with DirectX are translated and included in the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Mac OS there is a dedicated render context based on “Quartz”, can be used with Delphi FMX and FPC Lazarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is now also a render context based on the “Graphics32<\/a>” library<\/p>\n\n\n\n For FPC Lazarus there is a render context based on “BGRA bitmap<\/a>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See the “Technical design<\/a>” page for an overview of the available render contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or take a look at the “Rendering examples<\/a>” how these render contexts compare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Improved text rendering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Similar to the “Render context” interface, an interface is added to the package that gives access to font and text formatting libraries, called a “text layout”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Windows there is a text layout based on “DirectWrite” and legacy “GDI fonts” with “Uniscribe”. Again all header files needed are included in the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For MacOS there is a text layout based on “Core text”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These text formatting libraries support complex text formatting, for example bi-directionality and ligatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also a text layout based on “Freetype” but this one has only limited text formatting capabilities but is available for every operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The text layout is independent from the render context, so you can for example choose “Graphics32” render context and “DirectWrite” as a text layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See the “Technical design<\/a>” page for an overview of the available text layouts or the “Rendering examples<\/a>” for comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faster integrated parser<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The parser is integrated, this means that you can set attributes by text, for example to change the “style” attribute for an element you can simply code it like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also add fragments to create child elements, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The help file contains a number of examples<\/a> how to create animations or interact with SVG graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New licensing terms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The new license is based on a subscription. There is a one time fee to buy the source code and a yearly subscription fee for receiving fixes and updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a v2.2 license you can upgrade to v2.3 for the amount of the subscription fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For details see the “Order page<\/a>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or check out the free demo package or the demo viewer apps here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a complete rewrite of the package partly to remove some limitations in the previous version but also to make it ready for future improvements and extensions.
