[graphic-forms-devel] Graphic-Forms 0.3.0 release
by Jack Unrue 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

The next release of Graphic-Forms (version 0.3.0), a CL library for Windows GUI programming, is now available. This is definitely pre-alpha code, so be prepared for missing features, bugs, and API changes in subsequent releases. Download a release tarball from here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/graphic-forms/graphic-forms-0.3.0.tar.gz… The primary changes in this release are as follows: • implemented graphics-context methods for the typical drawing operations and pen attributes; see the new test program invoked by (gft::run-drawing-tester) • implemented a representation of fonts and font data, including an API for looking up fonts based on font data • implemented font metrics and text metrics querying • expanded image drawing operations to support double-buffering • expanded the classes representing different window types: top-level represents primary application windows, panel represents child-windows, and the root-window class represents the desktop • formalized the window parent and owner concepts with documentation and functions • implemented the display class to represent the monitor attached to the system • implemented new window style attributes to help applications choose whether the system should automatically repaint the background • provided maximum-size and minimum-size functions to allow applications to constrain window sizes • revised label controls to support either text or images • implemented the file-dialog class which encapsulates the standard open/save dialog • made other bug fixes and resource usage cleanup Please consult README.txt for other details about this release.

[graphic-forms-devel] another API cleanup

Just in case anyone happens to read the archive before I release version 0.3.0, I'm also making two corrections to the existing :style initarg for top-level windows: 1) the value of the :style initarg will be a list to make it consistent with other classes that also use that initarg 2) I'm removing the style- prefix from those keywords -- Jack Unrue
