Old graphics

Old graphics 07/16/2004 05:20 PM

The other day I was saying how we used to have a product named Spotlight many years ago. Here’s the graphic, which some of you may remember:



Just for jazz, here’s an even older graphic. It used to be at the top of the home page back when Ranchero was known by another name, back in ’95-’96.



Looking at this graphic, I suddenly remember that in those days image maps had to be done via a CGI on the server: there was no browser support yet. And that reminds me of the debates we used to have over whether it was okay to start using HTML tables yet, back before they were commonly supported.

The horror!

Also, in those days I was learning to write Java applets, because I thought they were the future of web interactivity. There was no such as thing as Shockwave or Flash yet. (What I particularly liked about Java was that applets could call back to the server without having to reload the page.) I never ended up doing much with Java, but I liked the language.

2D Graphics Libraries

2D Graphics Libraries 05/05/2004 07:45 PM

While platforms these days have fairly good 2D graphics support like Quartz on OSX, GDI+ on XP, and , and Gnome Canvas, developers like me often have to use third-party libraries for whatever reasons.  On Win32, for example, GDI+ support is missing in legacy platforms which means either giving up on fancy graphics, redistributing GDI+ binaries, use a third party library, or writing one yourself.  Writing one yourself is fun (I have done it a couple of times over 20 years) but, unless it offers some unique features, you'll always end up migrating to a third party library.

BTW, Flash has an excellent 2D graphics engine but it's lacks an API so it's like a sports car without a driving wheel.  Yes, you can embed the Flash ActiveX and generate SWF on-the-fly but it's unwieldy for dynamic interaction and even handling gets tricky.  Embedding Adobe SVG ActiveX is just as unwieldy if not more.

While there are proprietary 2D engines out there, typically written by a few guys at a small company, they tend to disappear within a couple of years, either bought by companies (i.e. Apple, Adobe, Macromind, and Microsoft), or abandoned out of lack of interest or workable revenue model.  Besides, they charge fairly steep fees so I tend to avoid them.

Out of all the freely available 2D libraries out there, Libart stands out in features and quality. It offers fast anti-aliased rendering and it's use in Gnome Canvas over the years means most of the bugs have already been stepped on.  Libart is also used to drive librsvg, a SVG engine, and Java 2D, Java's graphics API, although Sun made extensive changes to tap hardware acceleration.  While Libart can and has been used cross-platform, it's not exactly cakewalk to use in non-Linix platofrms.  Cairo has some interesting features and rising interest could mean it will replace Libart someday, but it's still in development.

Third-party 2D graphics library I really like these days is Anti-Grain Geometry (AGG) which, although dormant for the last two years, has been rejuvenated with the released of version 2.1.  AGG is written in C++ and uses templates extensively like ATL does.  AGG is lightweight, very fast, flexible, and full of features.  It even comes with a partial implementation of SVG viewer as an example.  AGG supports Win32, X11, and SDL as is.  It doesn't yet support features variable stroke effects like Creature House's Expression 3 engine and Fractal Design's Painter support but then it's just me being unreasonable. :-)

I should note that subpixel graphics was first done 20 years ago in Word Handler to display 70 columns of hi-res text on Apple II.Silicon Valley Systems, the company that published Word Handler, was based just 5 minutes from where I live now and I enjoy fond memories of working there every time I pass by the old office on El Camino.  I guess everybody remembers their first job.  LCD screens were just starting to replace LED on calculators at the time, so Steve Gibson and Microsoft ClearType can claim to be the first to use subpixel graphics on LCD screen.  Lenny Elekman, where are you now?
