It +can draw 2-D graphical primitives, including wide polygonal lines and circular +and elliptical arcs, into a user-supplied matrix of pixels. Sophisticated line +styles, such as multicolored dashing patterns, can be specified. There is also +support for filling and texturing polygons. + +It can be used as a drop-in rendering module in any application that needs to +scan-convert 2-D vector graphics. It is highly customizable. For example, the +`pixel' datatype can be redefined at compile time. The algorithm used for +compositing pixels can be redefined too. By default, libxmi uses the +Painter's Algorithm (a new pixel value replaces an old one). But it would be +trivial to install it so that it uses alpha compositing instead. The package, +and its header file xmi.h, include full documentation. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
