Oldes 27-Dec-2010 [1368x2] | How it's with AGG and R3? Current REBOL version is using AGG version 2.3, which has copyright message: Anti-Grain Geometry - Version 2.3 Copyright (C) 2002-2005 Maxim Shemanarev (McSeem) Permission to copy, use, modify, sell and distribute this software is granted provided this copyright notice appears in all copies.

Can we update the REBOL's Agg sources to the 2.4 version to be used with open sourced host-kit? | |
Cyphre 27-Dec-2010 [1370] | I got 'yes' from the AGG author to be able use v2.4 but there is not much significant changes in 2.3 vs 2.4 except internal code cleanup and few new custom rasterizers so the priority for going to 2.4 was never high enough to spend time on it. The AGG in R3 uses some code from 2.4 as it was much easier to add it this way than merge all the custom changes to 2.4 and then do all the testing to see if something went wrong. Ofcourse any effeort to make the proper transition from the current 2.3 based code to v2.4 is welcome. |
Oldes 27-Dec-2010 [1371] | Is there any graphics related test framework? |
Cyphre 27-Dec-2010 [1372:last] | AFAIK There is no real test framework for R3. Only the DRAW and SHAPE tests included in host-kit. |
