: - while looking in the code I realised that some functions are missing.
: There is no bitblitting function and I haven't figured out how color
: managment is done. (Well, I didn't looked at it ...)
There is very little color management in nano-X. Basically,
version 0.5-pre1 assumes a fixed palette of 16 colors. (unacceptable
to get any modern 3d shading...)
If you need color management, I have a version that supports
24 bit RGB to 8 bit palette conversion, along with weighted distance-squared
color matching... This version has quite a bit more color and font functionality.
There is no bitblt, because there are no off-screen graphics contexts,
so there's no need to move screen memory around. I have a plan to add
full-blown drawing primitives to pixmaps etc, and at that time, bitblt will be needed.
Do you have another need for bitblt?
:
: - I started to code a widget set. ( I hope it doesn't interfere with the
: talk that has been going on at this list lately.) It's in the pre-alpha
: stage, But works pretty good. 10 widgets are already there including
: buttons, containers, labels, toolbars, etc. and it's completly done in C.
: The good news is that the shared lib is about 40k right now and the static
: one about 20k. So it deserves to be called nano-Toolkit.
This is impressive. 20k is about half the size of nano-X itself,
but I'm not surprised. I've been implementing button and checkbox over the weekend
for Micro-win, and they're about 7k.
Are you writing this from scratch, or from X-memory?
