Nice article. Does 4.1 has its own PDIC-API, or does the system use Cairo internally to do PDIC? |

![]() Thank you Rogue. I'm not a programmer, but it's appreciated that you've gone to this trouble.
Hey, if it's not taught by you (or any from AOS4.x dev team), they'll learn it in the streets, and we all know how that turns out. ![]() ![]() |

Cool! I've seen demos of Cairo on Linux before... very impressive stuff... and this also opens up the possibility for scalable icons (SVG) etc ![]() One thing I would like to ask though... are the OS4 interface elements (Window "Gradient" & Style etc) Now drawn with Cairo completely or are they still bitmaps? And if they aren't, are there any plans to draw them with Cairo in the future? Cheers, Alex. |

Note that there are actually two "svg" formats. First there is the rather obscure SuperView Graphics format which is supported by Andreas Kleinert's svg datatype and is a bitmap format. Then there is the Scalable Vector Graphics format which is supported by my svg.datatype for OS4, which makes use of libsvg/libsvg-cairo and afxgroup's cairo port (on OS4Depot) to render the svg vector graphics. |

![]() Compositing is implemented as a single call in graphics.library. You can use it without touching Cairo, in fact, I've written two programs that make use of it. One displays a real-time thumbnail preview of the screen, the other is a lens that can zoom the screen with the mouse wheel.
Should make commodities out of them, really. |

Cairo isn't used internally yet, only the compositing. Cairo was included mostly to have it available; in the future, more and more stuff will make use of it though. |
